Caravan insurance
(Preview)
Just wondering what insurance company people are using for their caravan insurance. Our fridge boards blew in a storm and we were told by our insurance company that they are not covered. Any recommendations for reliable affordable insurance please.

New driving tests for Greys
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
Just perusing the can of worms that is the newly introduced driving tests for Greys. Along with reduced benefits for Greys based on age by MBF and HCF, I see what I have read as "over the top" to say the least and aged discrimination at its most blatant.

Good afternoon everyone. I still consider myself a newbie to caravanning, but Im especially a learner when it comes to tyre sizing. I am shortly going to be in the market for new tyres. I currently run 225/75 R15C (110/108Q) on my dual axle 19 caravan. These do not appear to be the most common of sizes...
