    Ship Inn car park Langstone Harbour

    Has anyone stopped here recently? We can't get on to any CL type places as they are all too wet. We're hoping to get close to my brother in Emsworth Thursday or Friday night.

    Cooking Utensils

    I've got a set of these in the van. Work just as well as the full size versions but take up less space. Aldi special buys this week.

    France again - sandfly map

    I've tried looking online at sandfly coverage maps. Either there are 16 different versions, or one I get to grips with is years out of date. So, please can anyone post a link to a current map? We're heading to Limoges but may wander anywhere really as we're across the water for just over a month.

    Latest POI Download File?

    Is it too cheeky to ask when the next POI download file will be available? We're off to France on the 20th and I'm currently updating the SatNav with the latest map and would obviously like the latest POIs too.

    Best Apps for France

    We are off in a few weeks and will probably be taking a 5 year old copy of All the Aires and using Search for Sites. What other apps would you recommend, apart from the WC app of course?

    Stainless Steel Gas Hose?

    Now that we have a larger refillable gas bottle and a 6kg Calor as a spare, the refillable has to go at the back of the locker due to the length of the gas hose, making it a bit of a pain when it comes to refilling. If we are to buy a longer hose is it worth getting a stainless steel one? How...

    Toilet Thread🙄

    Having used the bio wash tablets in the cassette for the last 10 years, I don't seem to be able to find them anywhere. Aldi and Lidl now sell the capsules. So, I wondered what everyone preferred using these days. I'm thinking that the capsules sometimes dissolve to leave a gungy goo that might...

    Road Monthly Payments

    Last year when taxing Percy monthly our payments were £25.81 per month. I've just gone online to tax him again and the first payment is £5165!! Is this maybe because of the timing and it's 2 months payments?

    Refillable gas tank problem

    I'm hoping that there is some obvious human error at play here. It's too late to phone LPGshop who we got the tank from, until Monday now. Phill just took our brand new Gas Bank refillable to our local garage for it's first fill. He said that lpg was spraying out of the filling nozzle as if it...

    Water Pump running all the time

    Well our weekend has gone totally tits up and we haven't even been away one night yet. Bailey Autograph Approach 625, 6 years old with solar panel & 2 leisure batteries. Spent a month away until end October no problems. Came home and drained everything down, leaving all taps open. Put on...

    Toilet Tank

    Does anyone put anything in the toilet flush tank to prevent it freezing. Is this a daft question?

    Would you take a laptop away?

    Last year we went away for a fortnight and I used my phone so much I got RSI that was really painful for over 6 months. I've now got a second laptop which is small and neat, with fingerprint recognition. I don't keep any confidential files on it but I do use Google and of course it logs me in...

    Fridge operation on a slope

    We've all had a manual somewhere that says your 3-way fridge won't operate properly if on a slope of something more than about 6 degrees (I think). Well I was pleased that ours was working just fine when parked on a friends sloping drive the other night, especially when I opened the bathroom...

    Aylesbury this time

    Having got Milton Keynes sorted we are now looking for a spot near Aylesbury. Can't find anything. Just a safe place to leave the van overnight would do, as we can stay with friends but they selfishly bought a house with nowhere to park a motorhome. 🙄

    Milton Keynes Anyone?

    We shall sadly have to attend a funeral soon at Milton Keynes Crem. For a trip in the car it would be 6 hours driving, and we'd probably have to take the dogs with us too. So I thought maybe take the van and have a couple of days away. There are a few car parks and one pub stop on the app but no...

    Aldi Safe

    Nothing is totally unbreachable but if you have the right place to bolt one of these in, it may prevent the opportunists getting the family jewels whilst you're lying in a gas-induced heavy slumber.Aldi safe
