It very much depends on the quality of the annual contribution (e.g the SERPS example). I've paid in 39 full years with no gaps in my record, but still have one more year to contribute to ensure I get the full SP. Importantly, your Govgateway NI record clearly tells you whether you need to...

When you check your Govgateway NI record, it will tell you how much State Pension you are currently entitled to based upon the number of qualifying years you have. It will also tell you how many more years NI contribution are required and how many years you have to pay it, in order to receive...

I have found a link to what looks like a 'draft' 2024 SWIFT website (different to the main SWIFT website) and it suggests that SWIFT are dropping the Challenger (basic model) leaving the Challenger SE model, dropping the Conqueror range and replacing it (by the looks of it) with a Challenger...

Nothing worse and even if you successfully clean it, you’ll imagine you can smell it!!!!!! I always close the fly screen just in case. Carpet shampoo and lots of it. Good luck :sick:

Wonderful times ahead

I prefer no cover to let air easily circulate through the van. It helps with any condensation, allows the solar panel to do its thing, makes it inviting for a nap or tea on the drive and doesn’t put me off giving it a regular clean.

Good news indeed! Come on CAMC, time to follow suite

Thanks Xtrailman, there’s a couple of AVG apps for the iPad. which one do you have and did you need to pay a subscription?

Hi, a makeover to freshen up the website is always welcome, but the page is covered by google advertising. A huge one at the top of the page and another towards the bottom. Is it really so necessary to have unnecessary advertising plastered over the screen?

We've pulled a Swift Challenger 540 for nearly 8 years but the kids had grown and didn't want to come with us anymore (understandably) so we sold and bought a smaller/lighter 2 year old Eriba Troll 530. Absolutely fantastic. Great to tow, really comfortable to live in and turns heads wherever we...

Watched last nights show and was shocked that the Sky EPG had Practical Caravan and Motorhome down as penultimate episodes. Is this correct? It's only just started.

Thank you Lizzie....looking forward to the show!

Good to see that Practical Caravan and Practical Motorhome now showing on the Sky EPG channel 212 Showcase for Monday's first episodes......'Record' set but can't set Series Link..Any idea why or whether this is something that can be remedied? Thank you and looking forward to the new shows

Extremely sad news. John was a bundle of energy and information and well respected by all caravanners. A great loss and my thoughts go out to his family, friends and colleagues.

Hi Dave, The New Forest is my ultimate vanning destination. It has everything you need for a great holiday. Forests, walks, space, wild animals, lovely villages and ....pubs with real ale... You also have the beach just down the road and if the weather is good, you can go to Christchurch...
