My partner and I are new to caravanning, and thought we would visit all reputable local dealers to select a van. We eventually decided to purchase from The Caravan Company at Wimborne, having chosen a 2006 Bailey Pageant for £5695. We collected the van which was supplied with a starter pack and also a floral arrangement as…
Hi, I am new to the touring community. I am looking to buy a motorhome similar to an Autotrail Cheyenne 840. This is a tag axle 28.5 ft motorhome. Can anybody tell me if they know of sites where this vehicle would not be allowed onto. Moderator Edit: Your post has been amended to remove the upper case text as this is…
I have a new car with Full back up and breakdown cover together with "Caravan Cover". Why do I need MayDay?
Having just returned from our 2nd outing this will have to be my last post under “New to caravanning” as I can now move to the “Veterans” section. We did however encounter a few teething problems. 1.

That being I was planning to turn fridge on during our journey there (only an hour drive). Can I ask: 1. When towing with the fridge on does the exterior fridge vent…

My mum gave me a couple of items from when my parents did caravanning and one of those items is a fire extinguisher. I was wondering at what point do you need to replace…
We're taking delivery of our first Motorhome on 26th and the options of different types of gas are not as simple as I thought. Propane, Butane, refillable? The dealership are pushing the refillable option at nearly £500 for a 11kg and a 6kg bottle. I understand the convenience. However, that's £380 more expensive than the…
Was in a nice woodland site over the weekend but one down side is that my awning is now covered in bird droppings. I have removed what I can with a soft brush but it is still heavily marked. Is the best option just water and elbow grease or does anyone recommend an awning cleaner? As I am only 11 months into the vanning…
