i have a big german shepherd and we just let her sleep on the lounge area floor because we feel it's way too cold to let her sleep in the awning at the moment anyway and safer if she just kips in with us because she is a rabbit, squirrel and cat hunter!!!

We have only ever used hardstandings which i prefer to be honest... we had no problem with our awning on hard standings and as we are all bad with hayfever and grass being the worst culprit then it does help a teensy bit to keep the grass out of the van.

thanks ed, on the environment agency website it has a flood warning and i called them yesterday and they said that they had to evacuate some caravans through the night due to rising water levels and they put them all in the carpark. i will pack up our stuff ready to go anyway and hope for the...

hi jo-anne, we haven't got a blue badge but we have 3 national autistic society autism cards that give further information and that normally work when going anywhere. Never applied for the blue badge you see. I have ordered some stickers to put on the van window to highlight that there is...

You have all given some good advice there folks, we have an isabella minor porch which helps us to store all the outdoor gear we have and we get the table and chairs in there too which is handy for my kids to sit at and play cards etc. I have a map and we are slowly putting stickers against...

Thankyou for your comments, it's a difficult situation. We have been talking about caravanning with our kids and surprisingly they don't want us to sell the van! They do actually like going in it. So we'll keep trying as that's what life is all about, and we'll have to work around the...

hi sue, hope you enjoy the forum, i'm a newbie from scotland and am finding it very helpful indeed

Hi folks, thanks for your replies and support... we have been away about 5 times now and the real problem is because my 3 children have autism. They are finding the change difficult, even though it is their own space, we really do try our best but the hardest part for them is the getting...

I have a Bailey Ranger 620 6 berth, it's an 08 model registered in July this year. Lovely van and very spacious - twin axle. Hubby and kids not liking it!

Beecraigs is a lovely site but up a very steep windy road that is not for the faint hearted or anxious newbie! I am from this area originally and there are lots of great shopping areas around there plus some great things to do and see. I don't know of any other sites around there except for in...

We went to Kippford site which is independantly owned, it has it's own website too if you all want a look http://www.kippfordholidaypark.co.uk/output/touring_park.asp the photos don't do it justice, it's so lovely and peaceful with lots of little hideaways and quite private pitches seperated by...

Hya Nicola, we do our dishes in our van which is a Ranger 620/6 as every time we have been away in it- the rain has been torrential and i hate the wet weather so the least hassle possible that's me!

We use Milenco Mirrors and Izzy Moonlight porch awning
