    Just purchased the £4.99 hitch cover and before anyone gives the pros, cons and why, I'm not interested tongue-out, but it is to help protect my painted hitchlock from rusting cool

    We just bought some of the awning floor mats which seem ok for the price. An hour after opening all the satellite systems had gone. Saw one person walk out with two!

    Bought a satellite system this morning, got there at 10am (opening time) and at the rate they were going I doubt there were any left by 11.

    Plenty of loo liquid at ours, now stocked for the year. Did not see any sat systems ( not that I need one) that was at 10:45 so probably all gone. Did get a foldable step though, which was good value. It will stop OH complaining when she falls out the door,😖 when I have removed it to clean the top part of the van.

    We bought some of the mats last year in sale. Really good, you only need to carry what you need, in our case two or three for round step.

    We just bought the mats to cover the full awning at £14.99 for 4 from a different retailer.  Aldi doing six for £9.99. Doh!! Works out better than half price..  never mind. Bought the toilet chemicals. 

    Are the portable satellites any good. Just wondering. ?

    David - I bought both the TV and the satellite dish, last year but ended up taking them both back.  The TV kept losing the signal in places where I had previously experienced perfect reception (and have done so since with another TV) and whilst the satellite dish is OK, the one last year only had a suction mount (and was a faff to align) and would have taken some modification to allow it to be put on a tripod.

    I ended up biting the bullet and buying an Avtex TV and flat satellite dish with 'Easyfind' technology, which although a lot more money, have performed faultlessly and the dish is so simple to set up.

    Also the ATC LED light seems prone to water damage

    We stocked up with toilet flush and a bag for the Wastemaster (we already have one but it is heavy duty and so not pliable enough when it comes to gathering at the drawstring). Also bought a collapsible bucket but found it to be a bit thin grade plastic which may split with constant in and out, we'll have to see. Didn't buy the 'blue' toilet fluid as now converts to the bio tabs!

    I see they are selling 'blue diamond' steps now. The ones they used to sell were not fit for purpose. They had loads of returns due to collapsing at the welds/joints

    Just ordered the portable satellite dish online with free delivery and free returns. I'll try it at home and send it back if rubbish. Otherwise, I've got a back-up for weak tv reception areas for under £60.

    Portable satellite kit arrived yesterday. Had a play today. Easy to set up with good instructions and sat finder included. All works a treat, loads of channels detected. Good quality dish. It comes with a wall mount bracket, and a suction cup base to attach to flat surface of vehicle. The latter isn't too sturdy. I've ordered a jockey wheel clamp for £4.17 and intend (with minor adaption) to attach the wall bracket to that, giving a sturdier support for the dish.

    As this is a 24" dish I would like to hear if anyone has got it to work effectively north of Carlisle.

    Nav you put 24 inches. Do you actually mean that? as it equates to 60 cm and ours works fine in the far north of Scotland.

    The Aldi dish is 38cm / 15".

    No idea where the 24" came from - probably been looking at far too many adverts!

    Even 24" seems small for acquiring a decent signal at such a low angle as in north of Scotland, but if it works, it works!
