    If anyone is considering one of the caravan covers I can recommend it, we bought one last year and it has done a fantastic job keeping our caravan nice and clean. If anyone has any questions about I'm happy to help.

    My experience to share is the caravan cleaner is good, so are the awning pegs and the toilet stiff. Don't bother with the wind break, not very good at all.

    A caravan mover at £500 - that’s got to be about right and with a 5 year warranty! I would rather buy their bio washing pods for the loo as they do a better job at braking down the solids. Lidl’s Formil bio pods in the green box I find excellent. I can recommend a 51 litre water roll- not so many trips to the tap!

    I was wondering the same thing ob1.  Our Easitread is looking a bit worse for wear these days, and our locally Aldi still had them on display the other day.  The packet looked rather small and I wondered if this meant they were a lot thinner?

    Yes we bought one last year. We don't have an awning but having a seasonal on grass wanted something, other than grass, under our roll out. I think it was £22 or £24 and very good quality. Also breathed very well as the grass remained in excellent condition. Although we did alternately fold it in half when we went out.

    I think its coming out at £19.99 this year Steve - that's for 250 x 450.

    I might go back and see if they still have them.

    At 125 quid, I took the plunge and bought one of the Medion 21 1/2 “ TVs. Through Aldi’s preorder scheme. The only info it didn’t give on the website was it’s power consumption as being non EHU, that was important but at £125, I thought it worth a punt. It arrived 3 days later and I have checked it out and it’s a nice bit of kit. My Avtex uses 30watts and I was not expecting it to use less but I was very pleased to see 22watts on the tech label. So far so good and the picture is excellent.  3 yr warranty - Avtex at £400- a no brainier.

    Went ahead and purchased the ground sheet from Aldi just used it for two weeks in Scotland very happy with and certainly good value for money. Was going to buy the 12v tv as it gets good reviews but unfortunately the stand is a leg at each and the unit that it sits on in the caravan would not be wide enough I need one with a central stand.
