Take it no one has been then? Anyway I chose Romania as I've always wanted to explore Transylvania.

Hi folks, Currently coming to the end of my month in Bulgaria after overwintering in Greece/Turkey and slowly heading back to the UK. Can't make my mind up between Serbia or Romania for the next couple weeks. Anyone been to both? I like my rural/mountain/river/lake scenery and old towns...

Hi, currently in the Rhodope mountains in Bulgaria. Spent the winter in Peloponnese in Greece, then 6 weeks touring Turkey. Needed a bit of greenery after brown and dusty Turkey. Overnight park ups have been very easy to find. No hassle, everyone shares them (picnickers, tent campers and the few...

If only UK traffic laws were so clear cut. An excellent link to the official guardia civil website on the difference between motorhome parking and camping. Motorhomes: Parking or Camping? | N332 - Driving In Spain

All settled. The quote from the authorized repairers was the reason the insurers were going to write it off as an uneconomical repair. I was told if repair costs exceed 40% or the estimated value of the vehicle they would rather write it off. The quote was £7620 to repair. After a bit of...

Just a quick update. I managed to fix it by carefully cutting back the white glued on backing and exposed both of the silver flat wires. I then soldered it all back together and stuck the junction box back down. Working fine. Got to say a good word for friendly green giant whom I bought it...

Morning peeps, Since my van is off the road atm, thought I'd investigate a new noise I'd heard recently from the roof. When I lifted my panel off, the junction box at the back was loose. The adhesive that must've been used to fix it on at the factory had came unstuck and as a result both (+&-)...

Spot on just what I needed.

And is that with a fixed bed though like mine?

I've done my own conversions but the insurance are basing the settlement figure on a professional conversion.

Hello again, As you may be aware from yesterday's post and the ongoing saga with ERS insurance after writing my van off as Cat C total loss, they (and me) are finding it difficult to find a replacement value my Citroen Relay LWB 2006 conversion due to it being a 4 berth with a fixed bed and...

Having sunk many a pint and eaten some of their finest sea creatures in the Applecross Inn over the last 20 years, when I dropped in last year, asked politely if it would be ok to park my (fits in a car space) campervan overnight in the car park, so I could enjoy some food n drink. Well the...

Came off very easily with.......a length of windscreen removal wire from a mate who does windscreens. 2 panels off in 10 mins. Thanks again for all the advice.

Has anyone ever had their van or car written off (cat c) then bought it back as salvage. Mine was hit by a runaway car in Spain back in January. I reported it to my insurance with the other car owners insurance details and the insurance told me to a contact them when back in the UK for an...

Not been down this year yet but from one of my fb groups. New sign at Anstruther harbour. Up to you how you deal with the request 😉

Cheers for all the suggestions. I'll let you know which way was easiest when I get it done.

Had a quick search but couldn't find any suggestions. I'm having to remove my 2 solar panels which are on angle alloy which have been very successfully stuck on to the roof for 6 years with stixall (similar to sikaflex). Has anyone found the easiest way to remove them from the roof. A mate...

Fuengirola Feria. Still at the feria in Fuengirola. Never seen so many vans here. Space for about 40 in the tolerated car park. Counted 76 last night including the nearby "car" parks. Probably busier than usual as La Cala Mijas keeps getting cleared. 3 times in the last 3 weeks. The nearby...

Was up that way last year. Stayed in the free aire in Cacares. The Monfrague national park is amazing for eagles and vultures. Spent a night in the car park at the visitor centre. Met a couple of UK birdwatchers who said its one of the best places to see them. I saw griffon, black and Egyptian...

Had an electrical sensor breakdown in Santander last year. This guy was a godsend. Honest and very reasonable. Was so impressed I went back on the way up for a problem. Only him and his wife who runs the office. Lovely couple. Tell them Gordon the Scottish guy recommend him. Vitali Motor...
