Does anyone have experience/advice about carrying a tandem over a pop top?

Hi I've spent a lot of time in Slovakia - though this was before I owned a camper. It's a beautiful country populated with lovely people. Camping used to be looked down on and the only time I intended to camp the site was far too scary and I stayed in a hotel instead. That was shortly after the velv...

Not an auspicious title for the thread! I have a 1.9 petrol automatic. I've built my own camper interior and, when everything is loaded and we're on the road I cannot check oil levels unless I take almost everything out. The tube down which the dipstick slides has been cable-tied to the arm which su...

Sorry. Should've started a new thread. Got carried away!!!

A good site for forest camping. Ideally a small quiet site with easy access to the forest for walks. It has to have good loos and showers etc or my wife will veto it!! I can't get her to consider wild camping.

We're planning a trip to the Westerwald near Montabaur. Does anyone know of a good site near there?

Thanks for this - nothing to get stressed about. Park and Ride here we come, although the plan is to stick to small towns, villages and forests. Tschuss!

We're planing to visit Germany in the summer. We love the country but haven't been for a while. I've been reading about the low emissions zones in cities and am wondering if driving an old vehicle with no sticker is likely to cause any issues. Does anyone know?

That's the system I use on my car. Much easier. Nice canoe.

I'll second that. Very useful. Thanks to all for your help. AJP my canoe is made of GRP so it needs a roof carrying system and thanks too to andysnewsyncro. My roofbars are not like yours so that wouldn't work either.

Many thanks for these ideas. I think I get the idea for the cradle. The bottom of the cradle is shaped to fit the van roof and the top to fit the canoe. This gives the canoe some support in the middle whilst being tied down at the ends to the roofbars? Does the cradle simply sit on the roof or is it...

A second set of roofbars would mean that I wouldn't be able to use the caravanstore! That's the issue I've got.

I have a tintop camper with a caravanstore (2.55m) fitted to the roof and thus taking up much of the length of the gutter. I also have an open canoe which i want to transport on the roof. Th elength of the caravanstore makes the distance between roofbars too long to provide sufficient stability for ...

I'm envious! I'm still in the process of putting the bed in and building the kitchen. Can't wait though.
