Sorry - put this info in the wrong bit!! Still new to this forum thing! Hello All Thanks for all your information. Sorry - been offline for a few days (computer playing up!!!). We have made appointment to open a Nationwide account next week - thanks for that. Will take note about eating out...

Sorry - haven't dug the information out yet - been too busy fighting with my computer! Haven't forgotten though.

Hello All Thanks for all your information. Sorry - been offline for a few days (computer playing up!!!). We have made appointment to open a Nationwide account next week - thanks for that. Will take note about eating out in Venice - sounds like a rip-off. I don't mind paying a decent amount...

Hi Rick We went to Austria last year - what a wonderful country! We have a 8m twin axle and had no problems. We stayed in two campsites, the first was www.sportcamp.at - the camp site was called Woferlgut. The toilet blocks were true luxury! Situated at the start of the Grossglockner. If...

Hi All Thanks for those tips. Eating out really appeals to me, and the wine of course. Looking forward to all those pizzas, pastas and ice creams! As for carrying cash, what is the likely amount of a spot fine (here's hoping we don't get one)? What kind of things do you get fines for? I...

Hi Lesley Just got back from weekend away in the 'van. Thanks for the tip for Camping Fornella. We haven't planned the route yet, that is a 'winter project' for us. We will probably go Via Dover, Calais, Belgium, Germany, Austria. Our first night over the water would probably be around the...

We had the same problem with our 'van. Our dealer told us it was because the pipe diameter and tap diameter to the kitchen sink was bigger than to the other outlets. In fact, the pressure to the bathroom sink is probably too high as it splashes out of the sink!! But, hey ho, not everything...

Hi Tim You are a mine of useful information! The idea of opening two accounts is brilliant - I would never have thought of that. I like the idea also of being able to handle the accounts online. Do you find any problems getting access to the internet whilst abroad? Would we need to set...

Hi Tanya We too are planning to go to Italy, only we will be going in 2008. We would welcome your thoughts when you return. I hope you have a wonderful time. The advice about getting good insurance is very sound. We always buy either Caravan Club or Camping and Caravanning Club insurance...

Thanks Tim for your good advice. Will take a look at the other threads. The idea of combining sight seeing and relaxing sounds very appealing!

Sorry, it appears I pressed the wrong button! Please read my comments above.

Hi Tim Our 'van is 8 metres! We were in Italy once before, a long, long time ago and went on our first caravanning holiday with a very small van to Camping Weekend on Lake Garda - I remember the pitches there being VERY small! We were novices to camping, but we had a wonderful time, that's...

Thanks again. These are all good things for us to remember. We aren't going until next year so that gives us plenty of time to open a Nationwide account beforehand. We are both fairly vigilent people, so will be very carefull. Roll on next year!!

Thanks Giovanni for all your information. I have taken good note of what you have told me. I'm so excited, wish I was going NOW!

I don't know if I'm supposed to answer to this posting, but I wondered if this site was suitable for twin axle caravans. I had a look at the website and it looks very nice.
