Being very happy Adria owners, we were very excited to be attending the launch of the new Adria model launch for 2020. On Friday 7th July 2019 we set off early from Somers Wood Caravan Site to Cranmore Conference Centre, Solihull. When we say early it was about 7am and the launch didn’t start until […]

On Monday 3rd June 2019 we hitched up our Adria and headed down to Cornwall for two weeks, staying at Godrevy Caravan and Motorhome Club Site. We chose this site due to its location.

Vango Montelena Air Awning
Here we take a closer in-depth look at the Vango Montelena Air Awning. When we purchased our Adria just over a year ago we also chose the Vango Kalari 380 air awning. We had no previous experience of awnings but researched the various brands online before deciding on Vango. We wanted an air awning as […]
Maypole Handheld 12v Analogue Air Compressor
Here we look at the Maypole Handheld 12v Analogue Air Compressor. Every time we tow and move our caravan we do several checks, this includes the tyre pressure on the caravan and car. Under and over inflated tyres are dangerous and can lead to blow outs, poor handling and reduced fuel efficiency. We initially started […]

There are a number of caravans on the UK market that now offer the 8ft wide option. These 8ft models are popular with families and couples alike.

Maypole Stronghold Atlas Caravan Wheel Clamp (SH5438)
One of the most upsetting things that can occur to any caravan owner is for it to be stolen. The numbers of caravans stolen each year seems to be a debated figure but is certainly in the low thousands annually. Many caravan’s are never recovered and a lengthy insurance claim begins. Caravan security is serious […]
Maypole Steering Wheel Lock (MP5494)
Car and caravan security are very important and after a career in Policing we both have a good knowledge of how thieves work. Not only is it important to protect your caravan from theft but also your car. Many years ago cars didn’t have an immobiliser fitted and car thieves could “hot wire” a car […]

Brighton CAMC
On the 6th February 2019 we hitched up the Adria and headed off to the South East of England. The bright lights of Brighton Caravan and Motorhome Club site awaited us.
