Your Questions About Caravan Holidays Uk

Lizzie asks…

I am thinking of buying a caravan holiday home near the coast (uk) is there any pitfalls i should be aware of.

male cropped Your Questions About Caravan Holidays Uk

admin answers:

I own a Caravan on the East Coast of UK - Nr Filey.
I do not rent mine out - only let family stay there. The only pitfall maybe to me is the actually running cost of owning a caravan - and also the cost in fuel to get there and back - its a 240 mile return trip. If you are thinking of buying and renting out - most parks (Haven - Bourne Leisure which are the same really) will only rent them for 7 years after that it will be up to you and they charge 20% of your income for the privilege of renting it out.
On the up side if you use the caravan - which we do - most weekends and school holidays it is great fun not only for the kids but for yourself.
If you are unsure and have never owned or been on a Caravan holiday - buy a good used caravan - to get the feel of things - it could be quite expensive if you do not like the life style - and you could end up losing a lot of money - most parks will not buy back your caravan unless you are upgrading to a more expensive caravan.
Hope some of this information helps you.

Richard asks…

I would like to take a touring caravan on holiday to France? Are dogs allowed into the country from the UK?

admin answers:

If you are travelling with pets temporarily or on vacation to France then each pet must have a full and valid EU Pets Passport in order to return to the UK without being quarantined for 6 months. Your veterinary surgeon will be able to advise you about acquiring a pets passport and will be up to date with the ever changing regulations but it usually entails the following:

1: Microchip identification (not tattoo).
2: A valid rabies vaccination - if your pet has not been inoculated against rabies before then a blood test will be required after the first vaccination and your pet must wait a further six months before being allowed to travel.

Before returning to the UK you will need to visit a French veterinary surgeon in order to carry out flea and tick treatment this must be carried out between 24 and 48 hours before your pet is checked-in to travel back to the UK. After the treatment has been administered by the vet he or she will stamp and sign your pets passport to signify that your pet has been treated, without this your pet will not be allowed entry to the UK.

Getting rid of criminal status on caravaneer?

Have been playing the online game caravaneer, I attacked a police troop and became a criminal, although i have enjoyed the attacking caravans and police aspect of the game, i would like to try out some of the legal aspects that being a criminal expels you from, is there anyway to get rid of it w/o starting new game?

Flash saved games are saved on your hard drive as .sol files (Flash Shared Object Library). In order to edit this file, you will need to download and install an SOL Editor. There is a free one available on SourceForge.net:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=131628

Next, you have to locate the SOL file on your hard drive. The file will be called "Caravaneer.sol". If you're using windows XP, the file will be locate around here:

C:
Documents and Settings

AppData
Roaming
Macromedia
Flash Player
#SharedObjects

Caravaneer.swf
Caravaneer.sol

If you're using Windows Vista, the file will be located in this general location:

C:
Users

AppData
Roaming
Macromedia
Flash Player
#SharedObjects

Caravaneer.swf
Caravaneer.sol

Keep in mind that AppData is a hidden folder, and you will need to unhide hidden folders to find it.

After you find the file, make a copy of it just in case you mess up.

Open the original file with the SOL Editor. The hierarchy is pretty straight forward for Caravaneer. Find the slot you're using and the key called "PoliceStatus". This key can hold three values that I know of:

-1 = Police attack you.
0 = Police blackmail you for $1000.
1 = Police leave you alone.

Note: There may be more keys associated with being a criminal, but I'm not sure what they are--The only one I've tested is the "PoliceStatus" key.

After you change the keys, save the file and reload Caravaneer.

If your file gets corrupted for any reason, replace it with the copy you made and reload Caravaneer.

Happy Caravaneering!

There are plenty of caravan parks with a beach near-by - try going onto a website (haven or butlins). Depends which part of the country you want to go to - or which coast - you will have to be more specific.

Mandy asks…

ageism on caravan parks?

Is it lawful for caravan parks in England and Wales to specify a minimum age for residents (typically over 50 on reidential sites)It seems discriminatory,particularly in the light of the new employment legislation regarding age discrimination

male cropped Your Questions About Caravan Parks England

admin answers:

Wow! I guess this means that England & Wales is becoming a part of the "New World Order" lol! Here in America, we have had "Seniors Only" RV Parks & Mobile Home Parks for about 20 years. Here, it's 55 & older for residency to actually qualify as a seniors only park. It has worked out quite well for us! Younger people & families with children just make far too much noise & it makes living in a tin tent on wheels absolute hell! Older people have earned the right to have their peace & quiet in their remaining years on this earth. You'll just have to accept this!

Sandy asks…

Ideal place in France for a holiday for a young couple?

Are there any places you would recommend for a reasonably priced holiday in France for a young couple? We're both 18 and 19.
Ideally it would be a caravan/camp site in a good location near beaches with on site facilities, however different recommendations are welcome.

Thankyou.

male cropped Your Questions About Caravan Holidays In France

admin answers:

Yes, go to the Atlantic coast. Check areas around La Rochelle / île de Ré or a little further south la Palmyre in the Charentes-Maritimes.

Even further south, the Bassin d'Arcachon SW of Bordeaux has gorgeous beaches too, especially by the Dune du Pyla (the highest dune in Europe, worth climbing!).

Or if you want Mediterranean climate, go to the beautiful inland beaches along rivers such as the Gorges de l'Ardèche (which my husband considers the best swimming hole on the entire planet!!). Http://www.ardeche.com/en/index.php
There are also hundreds of natural pools and beaches in rivers of the Provence region but also in the Dordogne, the Lot, etc. Just avoid the Mediterranean coast and stay inland for cheaper accomodation.

Are you coming with a car and your own tent? If so, ** and *** camp sites will cost between 16 € and 24 € a day for the two of you. If not, let me know as well as your budget, how long you're staying and when and I can give you more suggestions.

All the places mentioned above are crowded in July and August but then that means you get to meet other young people. I don't know what your tastes are and what you consider ideal...

VIZ Letters?

Hats off to the England cricketers for their achievements in the Ashes this summer, which rightly earned Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff BBC Sports personality of the Year. Winning a two-team tournament against a nation with a much smaller population once in every ten attempts, then never shutting up about it makes me proud to be British.

The government tells us that we are eating too many pies and dying of heart disease, then in the next breath they're telling us we are living too long and there'll be no more pension money left for us. I wish they'd make their minds up.

'Alton Towers - Where the magic never ends', or so the commercial says. Imagine my disappointment when it closed at 7.30.

I am married to a Taiwanese lady, and people often ask me if she was a mail-order bride. I find this very insensitive. The Royal Mail lose around 2 million letters and parcels each year, and to suggest that I would trust the delivery of my wife to them is insulting in the extreme. She was sent by DHL next day delivery.

The record companies would have us believe that the money made by CD pirates goes to fund the drug industry. But the money rock stars make from legal record sales ends up in exactly the same place. When they stop breaking the law, so will I.

Peter Andre might look smug in all his wedding pictures, but I'd just like to remind him that, as a Playboy reader, I have seen his wife's m!nge. He hasn't seen my wife's, so who's had the last laugh?
P, Leeds

On holiday a few years back, I took part in a quiz and managed to reach the final only to lose out after what I consider to this day, to be a correct answer. The question asked 'What 'C' would you associate Jeremy Clarkson with?' to which I confidently replied '<unt'. Not only was I told the answer was incorrect, but I was asked by the holiday rep to leave the premises immediately! Has anyone else experienced such appalling treatment whilst holidaying with one's family?
Noel, Leeds

My friend's mum recently pointed out that I have the same ironing board cover as her. Can anyone think of a more mundane and pointless remark to make than this?

I'll never understand my neighbour. He has recently started wheel-clamping his own caravan when he finds he has inadvertently parked it in his own drive! I wonder if he is a sadist, a masochist or both.

Did anyone else feel that Mel Gibson's remake of the classic Life of Brian wasn't anywhere near as funny as the original?

On the BBC website, I read with interest that some scientists in Australia have discovered the smallest fish known to exist. They've obviously never been to the Britannia Chippy on the Gloucester Road
Alan J., London

Hats off to the American police. They arrive at Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch to arrest him a mere six months after he admits climbing into bed with young boys on worldwide TV. Perhaps they should get some faster cars.

Could the Home Secretary explain to me how biometric checks on iris patterns and fingerprints are going to help keep tabs on muslim cleric Abu Hamsa.

How come rap artist Dr. Dre can use the 'N' word on his multi-million selling albums and win a MOBO award, yet when I used it at my son's football match I was asked to leave the park? Once again, it's one law for the rich and another for the poor.
Reg Ashcroft, Bradford

The government says that there are nearly 50,000 people with HIV in Britain, a third of whom do not even know that they have it. Is it just me, or is it a bit harsh that the government know and haven't told the poor sods?

Never mind ventriloquists like Keith Harris and Roger DeCourcey. What about Professor Stephen Hawking? I saw him on telly blathering on about galaxies for hours and I never saw his lips move once. Genius.

With reference to that series "Manhunt" where ex-Special Forces soldiers try to hunt down Andy McNab. Why don't the producers include a couple of Iraqis in the hunting team? They found the tw*t quickly enough the last time he played hide and seek with them.

Hats off to the witty burglars who stole my entire CD collection with the exception of "There is Nothing Left to Lose" by the Foo Fighters. I hope that when sentencing, the judge takes into account their splendid sense of humour.

I see on the news that Lord Hutton says he is "satisfied that David Kelly took his own life". He may not have liked Dr Kelly that much, but isn't this taking gloating just a little too far?
Dave Owen, Edinburgh

I was extremely saddened to hear of Richard Whiteley's recent death. But I was cheered to imagine his life support machine making the famous Countdown "da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da! Booooooo!" sound as he took his final breaths.
Tripod

I never worry about the destination when I'm going on holiday. My dad is Iranian and my mum is Irish, so I spend most of the time in customs.

why does the parking brake sign come on my 2003 (?) Dodge Grand Caravan, its the parking brake, but its not on?

I have a 2003-I think- Dodge Grand Caravan, the parking brake signal comes on, and it isnt even in. It's when we pull into our driveway, and also when we get at the bottem of our hill, but the car runs very smoothly. No extras have been done either.

Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir on that one,they have a sensor that detects low fluid and it will make that light come on sometimes,good luck with it.

Relay has been changed out and no visible damage to the plugs on the front and rear parking lights. Haven't checked the tag light yet.

male cropped Your Questions About Caravan Parking

admin answers:

Check anything that works on the same circuit as the park lights do,one wire touching to ground will instantly blow a fuse,and there's a lot of lights on that one circuit,even a shorted out switch will cause that too happen,good luck and have a good holiday season.

Does anyone have a good story line for my book?

I normally have tons of ideas flowing through my head, but as of right now I'm completely stuck! please don't answer that "If I had any ideas I would use them myself" or "You should come up with your own ideas." Yeah, i know this much. SORRY!! i feel bad about asking, but PLEASE HELP! i Just need to build off this. It's going to be something kind of like "THe Mortal Instruments Series" If you've read that. So read this and then give me ideas to add to it. It's a fantasy genre (mainly.) Thanks in advance!

Waiting…is boring. Rain falls over the woods, the razors of water striking at the canopy over my head as I wait, pattering like a hand on a door. In the distance thunder murmurs quietly to itself, not yet ready to let leash on me. And my wait wears on.
A car’s headlights slice through the night, illuminating watery drops that strike the ground. I am in the shadows behind a huge oak, an 8-foot diameter. The ancient tree’s cousin’s guard all along the edge of the forest like guards does a castle. It’s very…special. Really special.
Then I hear him…the quiet brush of a hand on water leaves. He’s walking along the edge; square with me, but over a half mile away. Then I notice the speed-up in his pace as he begins to sprint. I have a two minute wait, maybe. I begin to tuck my hat into my bag. The ski cap drips with water that slips down my bomber jacket and leather skinny jeans then into my military boots. Brushing my long, black waves out of my eyes with my lacquer-gloves I tied the hair back into a low braid and wind it into a bun. My midnight blue eyes glitter as I listen to him growing closer.
Then he appears, his breathing is barely interrupted even though he just sprinted close to ¾ of a mile. “Gemma, hi.” He smiles at me, white teeth gleaming in the low light. I dash over to him and smother him with a hug, our wet bodies clinging together. He smells like metal and wetness. I inhale deeply. “I’m find Gem…calm down.” But his hands are shaking slightly and I reach around, taking them off my back and rubbing my hands against them.
“Let’s go home,” I beg. He leads me through the damp foliage and out into a clearing. In the center in a patch of foggy moonlight is a mo-ped, the color of the sky in daylight.
“Get on, Gemma.” I do and he hands me a helmet that I position on my head. Then I hear the quiet purr of the engine and he’s zooming down the deserted street. We fly across the land, rain slicing at us all the way. First there’s a prairie, empty of anything. Then we curve down a dirt road that snakes across the barren landscape like a scar. When we reach the end of this, I begin shivering. I want to say I’m cold but he’s such a boy I don’t think I could and not grow red in the cheeks so I keep quiet. Now we are rolling over hills, the flowing movements making my stomach drop and then rise, drop and then rise. And finally, FINALLY, we see the Victorian house in the distance, a small yellow dot on the horizon.
We zipped over the last hill and into a pine forest, the spikes scratching at us as we drove. The rain stopped, the storm holding off. As the night wore on and we grew closer my shivers subsided into just random racks that flew through my body randomly. Then we broke through the last of the trees and a mile away was the huge estate. By now we were speeding down a long brick driveway that wound through the grass and up to the door. “We’re here,” he announces to our small caravan: just him and me.

In 1969, faeries broke through the seal protecting our mortal realm because of the Moon Landing. The protagonists are looking for artifacts that are needed to combat the faeries. Unbeknownst to themselves, they're half-fey themselves, and (half)brother and (half)sister. The one is half redcap, the other one is half unseelie fey.

The artifacts are hand-crafted and complex pieces of Victorian machinery, made by historical figures that fought the faeries and finally managed to seal them away for a time. Lovecraft fought them, as did Jules Verne, Nikola Tesla, Leonardo daVinci, Archimedes, Edgar Rice Burroghs and H G Wells. Some documented their exploits in fantastic stories. Morloks, Eloi, Thulsa Doom? Faerie, all of them. Sometimes, research through comics, pulp fiction, crazy concept drawings and ancient mythology is needed to decipher how to fight certain faerie.

How to Restore a Used Motor Home


Restoring a Used Motor Home

Buying pre-owned stuff almost always guarantees some repairs. A used motor home is not exempt from this. You may have exerted your best efforts in picking out the best motor home from the set of secondhand motor homes but the most you would come up with is an almost perfect match. It is inevitable that the motor home you purchased would need some modifications and a few repairs. For this matter, knowing how to restore one would make your repair project a bit easier.

Restoring a used motor home starts with assessment. Assess the extent of the repairs and changes your motor home needs and the costs of these repairs. Remember -- if the cost of these repairs are twice the price you pay for the motor home itself, get that warranty and refund your money. But, if the costs are minimal, then go ahead and start your restoration project.

default How to Restore a Used Motor Home

After assessing the extent of repairs needed, identify the tasks that you need to do to restore your used motor home to its former glory. Take note and differentiate between needed repairs and extraneous changes like personal color preferences. Prioritize your list by putting the most important and necessary repairs at the top and the extra tasks at the bottom. It is also wise to set a schedule for doing each task. Unless you have a motor home the size of a shoebox, the restoration process does not and could not happen overnight. By streamlining your tasks, you get to maximize your available resources.

Identifying the tasks needed in restoring your used motor home is just the tip of the restoration project. The work would be finished faster if you enlist the help of others like your friends and family members. You can divide the tasks and work schedules among yourself and your helpers to make the restoration project go smoother. For example, you can hardly hold a hammer while balancing the beam you need at the same time. Having somebody hold it for you would undoubtedly minimize mistakes and make the job easier.

1191880269AjFIwx How to Restore a Used Motor Home

Coming to the work proper, stick to the schedule you make to ensure that all tasks are covered and done on time. This way, you minimize the risk of doing a later job before a needed task. For example, replacing inside fixtures like curtain rods or counter tops must be done first before painting the interior of your used motor home. If you paint first before doing the necessary hammering and replacing, you risk cracking or damaging the paint. This also ensures that no task is done twice especially in the case of having helpers.

These tips are neither step-by-step guides for restoring your used motor home nor replacing your motor home fixtures. Rather, this is a guide to ensure that your restoration project would go as smoothly as possible. If there is anything worse than a million-dollar motor home, it is the destruction of a perfectly good and cheap used motor home because of careless and unplanned restoration projects.
