I would just use a garage you trust, easier said than done I know but the one I use have no real previous knowledge of T25s but everyone at the place loves my van so all take an interest in it. Had a couple of issues that they've resolved, they even enjoyed doing it. Your van should pass or not wher...

Hi all, does anyone know of somewhere who can fit a side window in the Cambs area? I've got a small plastic caravan type that I want to take out & put in a standard size glass one. I'm not at the stage where I'm comfortable cutting a large hole in my van just yet! Many Thanks and a Happy New Yea...

Been there too!

I bought a 10m one when we 1st got the van & soon realised I needed a longer one. Not all hook up points are that close so 25m would be best. You can never have too much!

I have a 1.9dg as well. A while back I parked up after work & everything was fine....got in it next morning & turned the key, nothing. No sign of life apart from the lights on the dash, battery was good & all it ended up being was the ignition coil. Replaced it and all good, only cost me...

We got one of these as a quick & easy canopy to put up for overnight, weekends away.

Easy to put up in 10mins & packs away easy too.

Looks the same relay as the Raw Components one too so defo the one to get. Never had any issues with mine other than one that I caused by being an idiot but that's for another day .....

I use the Intelligent one from Raw components really good bit of kit. http://www.rawcomponents.co.uk/intelligent-split-charge-kits/70-amp-intelligent-split-charge-system.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This is what I've fitted, I'm no electrician but it was easy to ins...

Thanks for the info, can't beat word of mouth when it comes to things to do. The area looks & sounds great.....just got to finish my list of jobs on the van before we go!

Just booked a week at Eskdale Campsite near Boot in June. Last minute change of heart from the Peaks on the recommendation of a friend. 3 pubs nearby which welcome dogs so we can walk Alfie's legs off during the day & he can sleep by our feet in the pub whilst we rehydrate by night! Pretty excit...

Yep, unfortunately..

This irritates me too, often tempted to book as a car & tent but being British I just stay quiet & pay up!

Ive viited that site....there are lots that are nicer. The toilets and showers are really good....the location is good but the site is a little scruffy.....or was last year when we popped in to visit someone who was staying there... Thanks Keith, it's hard to judge just by reading reviews from vari...

I have to keep her happy.....her budget for a liitle sporty car was hijacked by me to go towards the van!

Thanks for all your replies, we've settled on the Peaks & like the look of this site http://www.rivendalecaravanpark.co.uk/ ticks the boxes for walking & seems to have nice facilities. My wife is a camping newbie so we have to have nice showers, ehu etc.... Anybody stayed here? Judging by th...

Thanks for the info. Distance to travel isn't a worry but we don't want it to be too busy so we're going for the Peaks.

Just a matter of finding that perfect campsite!
