If you only use A28 and A22 in Portugal, you can pay by the Satelise app on your smartphone. Available for Apple and Android.

I thought this had been put to bed a couple of years ago. I copied this from the forum then, and have no reason to doubt it. "This is from EU law: it seems that there should be no problems taking food for own consumption into Europe 🙄 4) Exemptions from official controls at border control...

This system was first proposed under the acronym ETIAS in 2016, and it's already missed several planned starts. First they have to be sure the computers can handle the data, then every EU country has to install the kit in every port, airport and border crossing with the outside world . . . at...

Try NFU. They underwrite their own policies so make up their own rules. I accepted their quote this year, LV quoted just about the same.

Sorry if this is not helpful, but it can depend on the door the van uses! Our hab door began to make a graunching noise last winter in Portugal, then refused to move at all while it was half closed! I thought it was the strange Carthago double hinges and tried every lubricant we had to hand...

AA attended us in Ireland a few years ago. They operated Comfort Insurance's roadside emergency service at the time.

We each had an "identical" notebook pc a few years ago, so only took one supplied mains charging cable with us. It wouldn't change one of them from our 300W modified sine wave inverter. Later we got a Lenovo laptop and it changed fine from the same inverter . . . But since the cooling fan...

Don't hold your breath. Implementation has been postponed 4 times at least. Like HS2, it'll cost more and take longer than planned.

Glad you're sorted 😌

Dometic recommend cleaning fridge flues every 6 months if you use Gaslow or similar! Probably not necessary, but I put out a fire on a French van a couple of years ago: flames coming out of the top vent and licking round his awning. Looked like a fire in the flue from a soot buildup. Worth a...

Komparing.com gives all stations in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal with prices. Choose your fuel including LPG. Map based, so you can identify the cheapest filling station. I've used it for years. Works in Australia, NZ and parts of USA too!

I couldn't recommend the 3500kg Carthago C-tourer. My 2016 model is clearly built down to a weight. The kitchen drawers have been readjusted several times as the frames have settled, and high locker doors have needed adjustment to line them up. The lighting was illogical and had to be rewired...

Hi, everything **** says, but at risk of being indelicate, not every couple wants single beds. If this includes you, you can rule out many models at a stroke.

Take your own van!! Everything's expensive in Iceland, except hot water. We went for a month in Summer 1985, when the tarmac was very limited indeed, and our old Dormobile Land cruiser tended to fill with dust. Getting to Shetland from Orkney was fun, as the picture shows. Our 4 kids are now in...

Some years ago I discovered that the inside of the metal pipe which provides gas to the burner was rusting, and rust particles settled at the bottom, causing the problem you mentioned. Annual fridge checks are extra, and few companies would have discovered this anyway! I took off the burner...

As standard!!
