When we last heard from Della she was about to pub crawl her way to Tamworth with a girl friend. I have just been watching Sunrise on the TV and JT is doing the weather from Tamworth.

Our Home is a 22.6ft Diamond Caravan with all the mod cons and a full annexe. Towed by a 2003 Toyota Landcruiser 100 series 4.2 ltr Turbo Diesel.

We are about to remove the air conditioner on the coach, and resheet the roof before fitting our solar pannels. The a/c and area to be resheeted are near the existing (original) bus front roof vent (emergency exit hatch), so what we are thinking is that it may be worth putting in a new fan/vent as any res...

WE sold our Pop top caravan today so we can start looking for a full hieght van with a full onsuite. We are limited to the lenght we can fit in our drive. I was wondering if anyone has experience with break back drawbars and are they acceptable as this will allow us to go an extra 600mm (2ft ) in length. We hope...
