Hello Andrea Probably not the answer you are looking for,have looked at the website for Burns. Why not stay at C and CC Keswick site, right beside Derwentwater. It's great for sailing, canoeing very family friendly,just off Keswick town which is lovely, handy for Booths supermarket. Have...

Hello I'll try again site crashed!!! We have done this several times from the south west 580 miles for us to Gairloch. We have similar van and used to have Volvo estate V70 2.5l 20v auto. Did not reduce weight as with 2 kids 2 dogs and all associated 'baggage' it was not going to be easy. We...

Have never switched supplier, think that must be next option, anyway, what's all this got to do with caravanning!!!! Cheers Sue

Hi Jennifer No we don't heat with electricity, never have only cook and all the other usual things, just got new gas combi boiler installed a year ago. We checked electricity meter readings for 4 months daily, same time every night we averaged between 20 -24 units a day and when the bill came...

I'm with Trisha on this one. Looking to change van next year and the upholstery colour is the first thing I look at. If it's too pale I look no further and move on to the next one. Why can't manufacturers give at least a couple of colour options eg same pattern but in 2 colour ways? Oh well...

Lucky you Steve! My electricity bill for 3 bed semi with 4 adults is £300 per quarter!!!! You are getting off light!!! I'm sure the bill will go down when the teenagers leave home but in this current financial and house price climate I'm not holding my breath!! Best regards

This doesn't add up You paid £8 for a weeks electricity via a prepaid card, but if site had EHU even at £2 per day that would have been £6 more, so am I missing your point????

Whoops forgot to say - with the rear door open. Once stabiliser was engaged then we could shut the door!!

Hello Reg and Pat What sort of 4x4 do you have? We had to hitch up and engage stabiliser on our Abbey with our Nissan Terrano

Hello Welcome to caravanning, you won't regret it, all that freedom and open spaces!!! We have a smaller awning (sorry can't remember the make)for weekends and short breaks it's the type which has the bendy tent like poles(3) at right angles to the van it's 2.6m wide covering kitchen window...

Hello Saw one of these at a show yesterday and liked the look of it along with its own table, but it seemed quite heavy at 7.5kg. I have exterior gas point. I need convincing one way or the other!!! Anyone got any experience of these, all comments gratefully received, thanks Sue

Horse trailers can not be included in this subject as most are twin axle, made of nothing and weigh very little. They do not have all the heavy mod cons fitted in caravans. Good luck sorting this problem, happened to me only once with caravan and it was pretty scary

Hi Lisa I also have Abbey it's GTS Vogue 2004, it has the handles with the wooden centre. I find these not very strong, especially in the low lockers where they can be kicked, so mine broke too!! I went to my local Swift group dealer where you can buy the replacements. I decided to replace...

Hi littlebasher! We paid £1000 for our single axle Reich mover 4 years ago,new fitted at dealer. I am led to believe that a twin axle one costs around £1700, (as I have looked to upgrade to twin axle Bessacar) or am I misinformed. That said just go for it, if you can, it's one of the best...
