    Awning to sell but no caravan!. How to measure?

    Thanks Scotchlad Looks similar (although ours was 10 years older), but yes I think ours was 14/15ft. I'll advertise it as that I think.

    Awning to sell but no caravan!. How to measure?

    The problem is I don't know if it did fit - we never used it, and I have no idea of the internal length of the van. Where could I get this information? Being a 1984 van it's really difficult to find info.

    Awning to sell but no caravan!. How to measure?

    The Caravan Club 12 oclock rule

    This is just one of many reasons why we don't bother booking on the larger sites. Stick to the CL's - much more flexible!! Sue

    Porch Awning for Adria

    I am looking for a lightweight, easy to put up/dodwn porch awning for my new Adria Adora 532LT. Really only to store stuff so doesn't need to be big inside. The height of the van is quoted as 2.61m, but all the porch awnings only seem to go up to caravan sizes of 250cm or am I looking at the...

    Which BBQ to Buy

    Whilst I don't have a Cadac I bought another make which looks similar (but can't remeber what make it is now - all will become clear!) It was a bargain as I bought it in the winter so got loads of money off it. That said, I have used it once as I can't be bothered to keep cleaning it, which is...

    Help making up double bed in Adria

    Hi there. We picked up our new Adria in March and took it out for a night to get used to it. We didn't however manage to get the double bed right at the front of the van and ended up sleeping on it as if it were 2 singles. I cracked up into fits of laughter watching my OH with all the...

    CL's

    Why is it that when I'm trying to book a CL (CC) or Certificated site (C & CC) they never have a webiste or at the very least a couple of photos? I don't like to book things unless I can see roughly what it is like as we had a dreadful experience in the lakes a couple of years ago - lucky we...

    Smell from leisure battery

    Thanks for your response GeorgeB. The battery charger isn't so sophisticated to show the charging rate. unfortunately. The battery doesn't feel hot - I think we have probably caught it in time on the 2 occasions that I have smelt it I have simply tuned the charger off and we had to ventilate...

    Smell from leisure battery

    Having charged the battery in short spurts over the winter we have just recently noticed that there is a bad egg smell in the room when charging(my partner swears it's not him and we haven't got a dog so I'm assuming it is the battery!!). The charger is still showing some charge in the battery...
