Hi everyone, The Club has made the news this week with an excellent review of our Caravan Manoeuvring Course, with the journalist commenting: “It’s a great example of how training makes caravanners better, safer drivers, not just on the campsite but on the road too — helping avoid the tailbacks you sometimes encounter on…
I've just been reading an article in a railway magazine about a new traffic flow of new Volvo S90 cars from Heilongjiang in China to Zeebrugge for distribution in Europe. Apparently they are expecting to build up to 5 trains a week, each carrying 200 cars by the end of this year. The article says that the cars will be…
Has anyone ever used a BMW E61 525i auto for towing? If so I'd be interested in learning how it performs and what sort of MPG it returns. I'm considering replacing my old V70 TDi auto with the BMW.

Hi Does anyone tow with a Jeep Grande Cherokee Overland and a Bessacarr 650, if so, did you have any issues with the fog lights not working when hitched up?
Hello. I'm about to collect my new Sterling (Swift) caravan fitted with LED lighting and I will be towing with a 2008 Volvo V70 SE. The car was fitted with a Volvo towbar in mid 2011 by a Volvo main agent. Has anyone any experience or knowledge as to whether the lighting on the caravan will operate correctly with this…
Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place. However, I have a bit of a mystery with the caravan road lights. I had a towbar and 13 pin socket fitted by an independent fitter using a dedicated wiring kit to my 2015 Ford Kuga. The test rig used by the guy who fitted it shows that all lights are working. When hitched, I…
