We had our caravan stolen from our drive last November (2018). We only had it 2 months. I thought I would draw people’s attention to security. Especially newbies to caravaning. Please don’t ever assume your caravan is safe from theft. Even if you have insurance approved security devices. Having been a victim, I have done…
We are brand new to caravanning and collect a new twin axle van on Friday. I have been on a club beginners towing course and have a two hour road session arranged for Thursday to get used to towing a trailer around junctions, roundabouts and narrow roads etc. I will be getting a locknlevel kit this week and the van comes…
Hi All, We are going on our first trip this weekend and almost organised although I've not done one thing, which seems a stupid question, but thought I'd ask. The one thing I've not done is a water point pipe so when I go and fill the aquaroll I can connect my hosepipe to the external taps on the caravan site. I've got…
Hi, we are about to purchase our first van but we have a few requirements which is causing me a few issues with selection. Please can somebody advise me if there is a van which ticks the following boxes: Maximum 22 foot 4 berth fixed bed (2 x singles or double) Lounge at front that can be two singles or one double Seperate…
Hi everyone, we bought our caravan last year but until recently have only stayed very local so would still consider us as 'new'. We're going on our first long-ish distance family trip in a couple of weeks so wondered if anyone had any tips on how best to plan out the journey to make it as stress free as possible? We're…
HI, just wanted a rough guide as to how much it costs roughly to tour Europe by Motorhome....... appreciate the variables here are huge.... tolls, fuel, living costs, park fees etc.. Motorhome will be c 7.5 meters.... its just for the two of us so 2 travelling for say 6 months...say staying in parks 70/30 vs wild…
Happy New Year all. Another novice question please. My Motorhome is in storage and after a flat battery issue has been resolved, I've been to visit it every week as it's only a 10 minute walk away. This morning, I tried to put the heating on and got a 'Gas Failure' message on the display panel. However, I'm not too sure if…
My caravan renewal quote with Frank Pickles has come in at 281. Last time it was 189. So that is a 49% increase. Spoke to lady at Pickles who could do nothing to lower the figure. I have had never had a claim with the company. So can anyone suggest a recommended company who I should contact for a better figure? Have 1000…
Sorry if this has been discussed before. We have taken the plunge and bought a motor home, not a huge one, just 2 berths and really looking forward to staying in and exploring some lovely locations. My question is, once you have reserved a pitch what generally is the procedure for leaving it whilst out for the day if you…
Ok...please be nice. This is my first post. We had a caravan when our boys were little, about 25yrs ago but didn’t get much experience at the time before selling up. What I do remember is that the sites we went on at the time were all grass. So improvement or not, I’m still confused with how this booking malarkey works?…
