    caravan storage

    I cannot be precise about this, but as you come away from London on the M3 going towards Basingstoke, I have spotted a caravan storage compound on the right of the motorway just after a small airfield. I think it's just before junction 5 of the motorway. You will have to recce it to get the...

    Easy one

    Polmanter at St Ives, Cornwall. Got a pool and plenty of other bits and pieces. Nice bar, good location - great for West Cornwall. Also Sandy Balls in the New Forest at Fordingbridge. Really great for kids the age of your two. Vic

    Conversions for disabled people

    I am not sure that you can actually adapt the structure of an existing 'van, can you? When you think about it, a wider door would mean a new side panel, moving cupboards and bed units and it just wouldn't be viable. I think all this can be done though when ordering a new van and any special...

    Carver Motor Mover - Reluctant!!

    The 'van should move smoothly and continuously. However, are you absolutely sure that your 110 amp battery IS fully charged? Also in what sort of shape are the batteries in the remote control? You can also find that there is a bit of a weak spot for the receiver to pick up commands from the...

    cc site near hayle

    The site is in a great location, however I think you have to be a bit of a strong swimmer to venture into the sea in that area. My understanding is that around the Godrevy Island area of St Ives Bay there are some very strong currents especially when the tide is going out. Vic

    clumber park,ccc

    Couldn't agree more. My wife and I have stopped going away for weekends 'cos what with having to go and get the 'van out of storage, getting it packed up then getting to your site and setting up it's just not worth it for amounts to a day and a half. A good weekend package, especially at this...

    Awning poles

    Well I'll be damned! We've used the "easy pole" system for four years and swear by it. We've never had a single problem with it and wouldn't have anything else. Perhaps, like everything else these days, the build quality has gone down and it's not as good now as it was. Vic
