Hi folks, I'm Hutch, retired helicopter engineer, living in the Milton Keynes area, All year round caravaner, tend to go to sites within a mile of a pub thats dog freindly, has good beer and good food. We have had a lot of touring in France over the last 4 years, winter and summer.
We tow a Coachman 560/4 VIP, with a White Santa Fe,

Safe and happy touring to all.
Hutch.

Thanks folks, always wiling to help out others with Q ans A's.
Winter tip 1.
Remember, carry an old washing up bottle with some anti freeze in to put down the shower drain in winter, saves laying on your back in the snow with the wifes hair drier to thaw out the drain away pipes.

Welcome to the Forum Hutch. Nothing better than an engineer to help with our problems. Have a look at The Three Horseshoes Wheathill Shropshire. Next door is one of the finest adult only sites we have ever enjoyed. All pitches are massive and fully serviced. Excellent dog walks and a dog shower room.

Hi Hutch.......welcome to the forum.

I see you are a proper caravanner and know that caravan drain pipes freeze and about the old hair drier solution.
I have insulated all the underfloor pipework on my caravan which has improved things a lot.

Have you been round all the roundabouts in MK yet or are you still finding new ones

 

[Hutch]

I stick to about my favorite 40 Bout's, but in the last roundabouts of Milton Keynes calendar, it quoted over 280 of them

 

[Hutch]

I done the same to my last Coachman a 545, as the shower had a U bend, but as yet haven't needed to do it to the 560, as no U bendbeter get under and do it before long though. Why not start a new thread ???
Hutch.
