Hi Going to change my tow car, tend to keep my vehicles for a long time, had a Sorento for a while now but fancy a change. Thinking of either a Grand Cherokee or Shogun, any thoughts on either of these cars? Have heard of rust problems with Shoguns and anyone who has either of these what fuel consumption are you getting?…
We bought our new 2016 Affinity 550 last year. Lovely caravan and we're very pleased with it. BUT we find it a stressful tow. We tow with our trusty BMW 320D estate and have found the combination less than stable. During our last time away we experienced a snake on the A303 that started with a deep rut in the road. We were…
Our 36th annual towcar competition has put a variety of the latest cars to the test – vigorous testing at that! We assessed 35 cars at the Millbrook Proving Ground, everything from driving handling to caravanability. After thorough examination and number-crunching, the results of this year’s towcar awards are in. If you…
Hi to everyone, ive just been away for our first ever weekend with our first caravan, i fitted an alko stabiliser to the caravan its the one with the red handle.

Unfortunately its tucked very high up and unless I get on my back it is proving very difficult to attach and de attach. Also…
I have a June 2018 Alhambra Xcellence DSG Auto with a factory fitted towbar. The manual (May 2017 version) says that when a trailer/caravan is connected the tailgate is inhibited as is the start stop system. It also says that the electronic handbrake will not release until the drivers door is closed and his seat belt is…
I have always had an ALKO chassis, so am new to the BPW chassis on my Elddis Avante 462. I have notice that after aprox 10K miles, both tyres are wearing on the outside edge. I have been caravanning with similar size caravans for 30+ years, and have never come across this before. Any comments?
Hi all I'm very new to caravan ownership hand only have an older Elan 14, but it does the job. Recently it was pointed out to me that the lights on the van were flickering. I checked all the connections and couldn't find anything wrong. In the interest of narrowing down the problem I connected up the wife's car (XC90) and…
