This was another project born out of the recent Lockdown. We have been in two minds recently whether we will take bikes away with us in future. Margaret is not that confident cycling on road regardless of how quiet they are. It's different in Europe where there are many more off road cycle ways. So why on earth am I…
When we were finally allowed out a few weeks ago ...we waited til the schools went back then set off to lovely Dorset. We love Weymouth, our home for fourteen years before we moved near Brighton to be near our family. We booked into Mousey Cottage CL tucked away in the village of Nottington, just as you go into Weymouth.…

Last year my wife and I decided to sell our Motorhome and purchase our first Caravan. We attended the NEC in Oct 2016 with this in mind. Having had a good look round we decided on a Swift Major 4SB as the style of van we liked. We located a special edition option from Wandahome South Cave ltd called an Ace Diplomat and…

Even though you have the most aerodynamic towing car does not mean it will give you the best fuel efficiency while towing a caravan. The aerodynamic of vehicles-trailer combination is complicated and strongly…
Having sold our 6 metre long, 3 metre high coach built motorhome a few years back, our return to motor caravanning, last July, in a Randger camper van, was a downsizing experience to which we are still adjusting. The Randger is a pop top, based on a Fiat Talento van. Ours came with a bike rack already fitted to the…
Having recently returned to motor caravanning in a Randger campervan, I fear for my safety when I have to open the tailgate to access the "boot". The Randger 499 is based on a Fiat Talento van and has a large, heavy tailgate. When I bought the van, it already had a Fiamma bike rack fitted. The factory fitted tailgate…

I don't know if Bailey are typical of manufacturers when it comes to providing free standing tables? The one in our current two berth motorhome is, in my opinion, too large and heavy given that we don't hold dinner parties in the van!!! This set me thinking about whether there was an easy solution to my perceived problem,…
