A few years ago we saw the way things were going and realised that we would no longer be able to spend 9 months of the year travelling around Europe and the summer months back in the UK. We didn’t want to return to the UK permanently so we rented an apartment here in Bolnuevo, drove back to...

From what I’ve been reading on the forum lately it seems the response in nearly all parts of the UK to an increase in Motorhomes is to put up height barriers or parking restrictions. In the region of Murcia there is a different approach - more Motorhomes? Better provide more facilities then! As...

Hi all, Over the last few years I’ve successfully accessed BBC content via iPlayer whilst in Europe using SurfEasy VPN. The beeb have now twigged this and I can’t access content when my VPN is on, even in the UK. So, is anyone successfully using a different VPN to access iPlayer for downloading...

I remember there were some posts recently remarking upon the prices charged by dealers for replacement key fobs. So this firm is one to perhaps make a note of should anyone need their fob repaired in the future. FobFix Pat

Hi all, Our motorhome came with a nice mustard coloured fitted carpet. Thoughts of muddy boots, spillage etc and it got folded up and stored in the cellar at home. Off to B&Q for a few packs of sticky back vinyl tiles and after some fiddling about with odd angles and corners we soon had a nice...
