If you also tow other trailers as well, anyone any ideas as to the best solution - you could put a 13 pin plug on your goods trailer, but I sometimes tow other peoples trailers which have 7 pin plugs. I know that there is a socket available which can take both sorts, but I have considered...

Many thanks to those who have replied - we are going to take 4 weeks over this as it would be too much of a rush otherwise. I think I will book some of the CC sites just to be on the safe side and then just busk the rest of it, can't wait. Pete

Have only visited Scotland once in September/October and it was lovely apart from the rain, but no need to book sites etc. This year we fancy going right to the top, from mid April to mid May, but this of course includes Easter and the Royal Wedding. Several questions then - do we need to...

Sorry, should have said 30,000 miles I have used it, 5000+ towing.

No idea what size a sterling europa 555 is, but I tow a Hymer (MTPLM 1600kg) with a 55 plate diesel (136 hp DCI) and it is fantastic. Cruises at 60 mph, accelerates well even uphill, and very stable over the 5000+ miles I have used it. It has a 100kg towbar limit with a short overhang from the...

Bit of each - have never stayed on any site longer than 5 nights, normally only book at one site (CC Black Horse Farm Folkestone) so that we are sure of somewhere to stay before catching the morning ferry, and when we get off the ferry we don't even know whether we are heading to Austria or...

We were in Denmark for a couple of weeks in late April, went up from Germany and back down through Holland. We stayed at 3 ACSI sites, one near Middelfart, one at Laven (ACSI 33) in the "Lake District", and at Ribe (ACSI 45). The Lake district SE of Silkeborg is very pretty, lots to see...

I'm not sure about Jersey, but no caravans are allowed on Guernsey, and motorhomes are only allowed as transport but cannot be slept in!

Why don't UK manufacturers follow the continental makers and use a longer A frame? This has the double benefit of reducing hitch weight and increasing stability at the same time, and allows space for a crosswise bicycle rack on the front of the caravan. OK so the total length of the van is a...

OK I'm stupid - I've found it now!

How do we do that then? Where is Profile?

At that time of year get the ACSI book/card, no need to book, and everywhere _15 per night or less, see www.campingcard.com How about southern Holland? Camping Westhove nr Domburg has a super leisure pool complex, and last time we were there we had the whole place to ourselves, all included in...

A friend of mine went recently on a package deal, but said that they went to the ticket office to buy a dvd and that there were plenty of tickets on sale.

Does it just "go flat" as if it has hit a rev limiter, and is fixed by lifting off the throttle and then re applying throttle? If so I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it is a turbo related problem, it will give a fault code on the computer if checked, but too vague to be of much help. It...

I picked up one of their catalogues the other week at a big dealers in Germany, and they sell absolutely everything that you could want, but I thought that they were a bit pricey on some items.
