Fancy winning a brand new caravan, or two?

Got to be worth a go...

Nice spec caravan built using Bailey's Alutec system.

Spacious fixed bed layout with large rear shower room.

Should you not feel quite so lucky but you are a dab hand with your camera, try to win another one in the competition organised by Bailey Caravans  and Practical Caravan magazine.Details here

You get a choice of three different versions of the GT65 in this competition: The Verona as shown above, the Rimini and the Ancona

Why go anywhere else ?

Fair enough, it's cold at the moment.

But it won't always be cold...the nights are getting shorter, Spring is trying hard to burst out all over and another sseries of beautiful sunsets are  just around the corner.

Sometimes when travelling around, or looking at photographs, I'm minded that I would take some convincing that the Highlands of Scotland can be bettered,  when it comes to stunning views and jaw drop;ping panoramas.

If you're thinking about  possible locations for your  touring caravan, motorhome or camping holiday this year, or perhaps a week in a lodge or static van,  don't dither any longer - just come to the Highlands , you might never want to go home again

Motor Movers

Motor movers , for some people, have changed their caravanning life, and certainly extended it for many.

Faced with a difficult pitch , or a drive that slopes steeply, it sometimes makes you wonder why you bother.

We all love the idea of  a sun blessed week or weekend away but  the prospect of having to perform reverse contortions with the car to get the caravan back into it's allocated slot on the drive,  or physically wreck ourselves trying to shift a 1500 kg caravan by hand  is enough to put anyone off.

I don't know how anyone manages without a motor mover but I do suspect though that the folks that sell and fit clutches for a living don't get quite as much business from the caravan fraternity as they once did

I recently installed a motor mover for a customer who had been let down by a company that had  claimed to be able to install them 'anywhere' in the UK but still hadn't managed to find Nairn after 5 weeks. I told them to order one and I would make sure it was fitted it before their planned trip  a few days later.

Installation was quite straightforward, the only thing not included in the box was a fuse. It is extremely important to ensure that you have a fuse in the positive supply , so I dropped a 100amp maxi fuse in the line.

So no more clutch busting, stressful reverse manoeuvres off a busy road and up a sloping drive. It's now park up , unhitch, engage the motor mover, handbrake off and then press the buttons on the remote and watch the caravan steadily move its way into position.

You could even do it sitting down if you wanted.
