Hi all. I ask this as I had occasion with my 22 year old Toyota Surf tow car to search for a paintless dent removal guy. I didn’t want to take her in and spend hundreds on resprayed wings etc. She had a few little dings which, although not drastic, annoyed the bejesus out of me, particularly when I had washed and waxed it-…
For those not familiar with Freecycle, it's a way of giving away stuff you dont want, which might otherwise go into landfill, and getting things you do want - all for free! There are local groups, set up by local people, you join your local group, and you post what you want to give away. People email to request it, and you…
You may have seen a range of brightly coloured silicone pop-up kitchen items which are space saving for those without much storage space, and light, for those with a small loading margin. Camping and caravanning shops seem to feature them, but prices are not cheap. We saw one shop where a pop-up drainer was £23.99!! (We've…
Safefill have, for all their hard work, fortitude and downright stubbornness against huge odds, reached the finals of the APEA awards for innovation! No more than they deserve! Well done Safefill. You have made a real difference to our pastime. We wish you luck in the future.
Today I was sorting my caravan insurance - and as was suggested in a thread about this time last year - I asked for the "best price".

The power range is 1200w - 2000w, with temperature control and timer - and they are lightweight too. One or two 'smart' people are…
Has anybody used a hanging shelves system to make better use of the wardrobe. Most van many factors don't put any shelves in the wardrobes .We are trying to think of a cheap solution without adding too much weight.
This "saving money" section, with the wonderful "How to thrive on non-EHU" thread and some others, is ever more concentrating on such things as solar power, which is truly valuable and I'm not alone in learning a lot, for which I'm grateful to those posting here. I'd like the CMC to start a new section devoted to issues of…
My hubby and I are new to caravanning this year. We love it with a passion. We bought our caravan in February and have managed to get in 12 trips this year (weekends mainly) we have realised that we really love CL sites. I read somewhere that you guys have alternatives to expensive "pink" as we are now using loads of it…
I don't know if you're aware but there's a company that does thousands of walking treasure trails and murder hunts around cities, towns and villages around the UK. We find them an excellent and fun way of spending a cheap day out whilst discovering so much about the place we're visiting in the van. Each trail costs around…
