Very interesting. So these MiFi devices are like a mobile phone that just accesses one number and gives access to the network via WiFi - brilliant! How good is network coverage? I guess that foxfi does the same using your data allowance on the iPhone account. I recently got an iPhone for...

Hi Alison, Since it may be close to the limits you are going to need to be careful about loading. See this thread. http://www.caravansaversclub.org/threads/caravan-loading-and-nose-weight.88/ The Caravan Club and Camping and Caravanning Clubs have fact sheets to help you with this. Good...

You are right re the Daystar listed. I've done a bit of digging and the Daystar 2007 was an 18.5 foot 4 berth.Weight 1323kgs. Glass's guide shows the "weight" of your model at 980kgs. Looks like "weight" is MIRO. So much lighter. On http://www.towcar.info once you have entered your car and...

http://www.towcar.info says the caravan is way too heavy for the car. If you are stuck with the caravan one option might be to find a site that you like, in an area that you like with on site storage. Get someone to tow it down/up there for you in a bigger car. And then don't tow just get the...

Hi Glen, It is probably a dealer special Avante 524. Hope this helps Phil

I recon that whether you invest further depends on the contract/rights you have with the site owners. If they restrict the age of units on their site then you have to make a judgement. There are specialists who do the sort of work you are considering, make sure you get written quotes. Good luck...

Out of interest what sold you on Alutech?

What a great tip thanks for sharing it.

Hi Andy, Do you have any idea what it is? I've heard of people who store their caravan near to an airport getting speckles of fuel on them. Or could it be mildew/mold on the cover and something it has produced getting on the paintwork. Is it just on the painted panels or also on the windows...

Hi Woody, It's nice to have another static caravan owner in the club. I bet you're enjoying this weather. Cheers Phil

There's definitely a benefit to using a de-humidifier from time to time but throwing all of the windows and doors open on dry days probably works just as well (as long as you keep an eye out for intruders). The problem is when you leave on a damp cold day having been there for a week or two, you...

The water in warm moist air condenses on cooler surfaces, it is just a fact unfortunately. Since you can't do much to add insulation the only real option is to keep the bedrooms well ventilated particularly at night. The problem with is is keeping the rooms comfortably warm and well ventilated...

Don't put too much on. Just enough to very thinly coat the seal.

There was a European Directive a few years ago that stopped car manufacturers from insisting that you had your car serviced at their appointed dealers provided the servicing and parts used matched the manufacturers spec. I guess that the last bit gives them some wriggle room if they spot...

The more noise they have to make to take them off the better!

Most insures require you to be resident in the UK. Not sure what they would think about someone living abroad for 6 months of the year unless someone in your family was in charge of the caravan while you are way. We, Caravanwise that is, offer a 15% discount for club members.

Hi Susanne, Welcome to the club. What problems did you have with the pitch move? Best wishes Phil;

Hi Chris, Very happy to be corrected. I can't remember where I picked up 7% as the rule of thumb. It may have been in a Caravan Club fact sheet. Can you say where your 5% to 7% came from as I guess that since folks here don't know us from Adam it is probably best that we quote an authoritative...

This month we have a Milenco nose weight gauge for our prize draw. This device is accurate to British Standard BS 7691 and is good for over 1000 uses at this accuracy. It is a really good piece of kit and normally retails around £30. The following explains why using one of these things is...
