Today we are going to show you part number TH857 from Thule. This is their Caravan Cargo Bag Carrier. This carrier bag has a storage capacity of 13 cubic feet, and this will mount to virtually any rooftop cargo rack, either aftermarket or factory installed. We will cover some of the features of this bag.

It will mount to any cargo rack with these tie-down straps right here - you have one, two, and two on the other side. That will hold it down to the cargo rack. And this is actually designed to fit in between the cargo bars sitting on top of the roof itself. The front of the bag also features two straps that go over the entire bag itself, stitched to the top and also stitched down to the bottom, which also converts into a nice, easy-to-use carrying handle, so you can carry the bag fully loaded to take it on and off the vehicle. And these are the buckles that you disconnect so you can get to the lid of the bag. And it is zippered right here and is covered up so that makes a weatherproof seal. All right, as you can see it also comes with its own storage bag itself. Roll it up and fold it up and it fits nice in its own little storage case and keep it out of the way until you are ready to use it again.

As you can see here we have got a Thule Caravan installed on top of a roof rack here. Now, typically with your light stuff, you can go ahead and load the bag up first and then put it up on the roof. However, if you have got some heavy material, it probably would be a better idea to put the roof bag on first and then load up your materials. Once you have that done, again, like we showed you before about the buckles that strap it down in place. So they just go around the factory bar here or any other aftermarket bar. And they simply buckle into place. We will simply tuck that back underneath there. And, if possible, bring it through to the back side of it and take up a little of the extra slack. And then you go ahead and do the same thing for the front of the vehicle. Just tuck that underneath the bag and going toward the front of the vehicle. And with that your bag is strapped in. It will not go anywhere. And the main thing also you want to make sure of is that - this is the front of the bag, the part that does not have the zipper - you want that facing the wind. And this is the zipper right here, and this is the covering for the zipper. To make sure it is weatherproof, go ahead and make sure that these Velcro straps are installed in place so it will not go anywhere. And there you have it for part number TH857, the Caravan Cargo Bag Carrier.

There are many caravan insurance policies available on the market, but how do you get the right cover?

Check out our top tips below:

1. Get The Right Cover For Your Caravan
Sounds obvious, right? But nonetheless it’s worth ensuring that your caravan is insured appropriately. Make sure that you’ve accurately stated the replacement value of the caravan and also mention any specific requirements to make sure your caravan is fully covered; otherwise you could find yourself severely out of pocket if the worst happens.

2. Consider A ‘Replace As New’ Policy
Does your policy offer a ‘Replace as New’ option, whereby a new or similar caravan will be provided in the event that your caravan is stolen or written off? It is worth finding out if your caravan qualifies for this option. The premium is a little more expensive, but may be worth considering.

3. Contents Cover
Check to see that the contents that you own inside the caravan are covered. Also stipulate any items that may be excluded in the policy, such as personal cash or credit cards.

4. Check the Small Print
Read the policy terms and conditions that are provided by the company. Ensure that you understand the conditions that apply to your particular policy. Failure to comply with the conditions may result in your policy being voided.

5. Usage
Where do you take your caravan? UK only? Or abroad? However and whenever you use your caravan, make sure you’re covered. If you plan on taking your caravan abroad, you may find that your existing policy will cover you for a set number of days, however if you plan to be away for longer tell your insurance company and make sure that you’ve got the right insurance cover.

6. Breakdown Cover
If something happens to your caravan while you are touring which renders it unusable, does your insurance cover you for breakdowns? It can be extremely expensive if not! Ideally you want a policy which offers alternative accommodation or an alternative caravan. You’ll also need to check coverage outside the UK if you plan to take your caravan abroad - will they repatriate the caravan to the UK and is there any cover for the towing vehicle?

7. Liability Cover
Check to see that you have adequate liability cover and find out if legal fees are also included in the policy.

8. Security
In the terms and conditions, double check the security policy to find out what level of security is required. There is usually a minimum level of security required for caravans, such as a hitch lock or a wheel clamp, and when they must be applied. You may also find that some insurers offer discounts for additional security features such as alarms or tracking devices.

9. Ask Questions
Don’t be afraid to ask your insurance provider questions to ensure that you understand what your caravan insurance policy covers. Also, disclose all details about your caravan, even if they seem minor to you, as they may affect your policy.

10. Shop Around
Compare the different caravan insurance policies on offer and see which ones suit your caravanning needs best. If you are comparing prices, remember to check that you really are comparing like for like. We all like to save money, but the cheapest policy isn’t always going to be the best option, particularly if you’re not going to get the same level of cover.

Mobile Homes Abroad Have you ever thought of owning a property outside your country? If you have, one thing that you're most probably worried about is if you could afford it or not. After all, the price of properties is seemingly reaching new heights year after year and this makes it very difficult for someone to achieve the dream of owning a home abroad.

Fortunately, such is not the case with buying mobile homes abroad. This type of home is very much recommended especially if what you want is a home that could serve both as a holiday home and as something where you could permanently dwell. Buying mobile homes abroad is an even cheaper alternative to owning your own home somewhere else aside from where you are. Hence, it's basically being able to get quality homes for less.

In the days of old, a mobile home used be classified as a caravan. These days, it's seen as something more than that. Nowadays it is considered a residence. First time home buyers who cannot afford a traditional home overseas may opt to buy a mobile home if what they want is a quality property that a fraction of the traditional bricks and mortar.

Aside from the fact that buying mobile homes abroad is usually cheaper, it has other advantages, especially as opposed to buying traditional counterparts like villas and apartments. Below are just a few of the advantages:

Advantages of Buying a Mobile Homes Abroad

It can be as stylish as you want it to be. Just because it's a mobile home does not mean that it can't be as classy and as beautiful as any other bricks-and-mortar home. First of all, you can purchase a mobile home with one or two storeys. Then, you can have it custom-made complete with cathedral ceilings, fireplaces and immaculate kitchens.

Location won't be a problem. As suggested by the word "mobile," you can choose from the many different coastal and countryside locations wherein you can station your mobile home. You have the freedom to choose the area that could suit your requirements.

It is convenient and portable. You can move your home from one site to another. You can just move anytime without to much hassle.

You can earn extra money from it. Another good thing about a mobile home is that it is "rentable." You can charge a certain fee for other people to use it when you're not resident.

You can bring it home with you. If, in case you decide that you do not wish to live abroad anymore and you want to go back to your homeland, you can just take the mobile home with you.

It boasts a built-in temperature-controlled environment. Mobile homes are of a higher calibre than traditional homes because there is very little chance that they will be exposed to dampness and moisture. Weather won't affect the building process, nor will it damage them. This will save your pocket from spending for expensive repairs.

You can choose the features you like. There is an array of styles and designs to choose from as you decide on the look and model of your mobile home. In fact, you can get an entire set of appliances to be shipped along with your home if you wish.

The construction is definitely faster and less expensive. Let's take the case of a traditional home. If you would ever think of changing or adding something to the design of that home, the budget allowance would be high since you may require an architect, new floor plans, and permits. On the other hand, construction of a mobile home is three times faster and it won't cost you that much.

However, while there may be advantages, there are also disadvantages of buying a mobile home abroad. Disadvantages of Buying a Mobile Homes Abroad

For one, if you own the land on which you plan to place your manufactured home on a foundation, it will be treated like a site-built home. Therefore, you can take advantage of all the tax benefits and appreciation. However, if you were to place it on a mobile home park where you simply rent the lot, you will not get all the tax benefits meant for real estates and the value of your home depreciates as time passes.

Secondly and based on recent statistics, more than a third of mobile home buyers report plumbing and electrical problems. Obviously, these are also the same problems encountered by traditional home owners. Hence, one can safely say that these so-called disadvantages are common ones.

Given all these options, buying a mobile home abroad may be quite a challenge. However, it's a challenge that can be fulfilling, especially if you choose the best mobile home that could address your needs. You can start choosing your mobile home by browsing through our listings here or by visiting our Mobile Homes Abroad website for details on mobile homes for sale abroad. While brand new mobile homes are the better option, don't think that you can't jazz up a second hand or pre used mobile homes. Just add a dash of your creativity and taste and you're all set to driving into the sunset with your unique mobile home abroad.

Imagine cruising down the nation's highways with your four-legged friend by your side. Bringing your dog along is no strange thing. Your motor home is like a second home and has space for every member of the family.

Almost half of all RV vacationers choose to take their pets with them. After all, the dog's part of the family, and you don't want to kennel him and leave him behind. RVing with the family dog is wonderful, but there are some things you should consider before you hit the road.

Before You Leave

First off, get your pet used to car rides, if he isn't already. Take him on some short drives around town, and then go for longer and longer drives. Make sure he's comfortable in the moving car, and get him used to the routine of getting into and out of the car. You should always leash him before you open the door, so he won't run out of the car.
Also, get him used to the inside of the motor home. If it's not convenient to take the RV out for a spin, just open it up so he can go inside and get acquainted with it. When you actually hit the road, bring along some of his favorite chew toys and items from the house, like old shirts or other toys he's fond of. This will make him more comfortable and less likely to get nervous when you're far from home. Of course, this also includes bringing along his favorite treats!

Before you set off on your trip, get him checked out by the vet. Make sure he's in good health and there is a low risk of anything happening. Bring along his medical records and the number of your vet in case there is an emergency. It's also a good idea to scout out a vet anywhere you will be staying for an extended time. You can use the Internet to find vets in nearby towns in case there is an emergency.

Another thing to consider is whether you will let your dog roam freely in the RV, or keep him in one specific area. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. He'll get restless on the road, and letting him walk around in the motor home will help keep from having to make too many stops along the way. On the other hand, there is the safety to consider. If there is a crash or sudden stop, he will be in danger. You can always use a carrier or dog seat belt to keep him in his seat.

You also have to think about keeping the RV clean. The more places you allow him to go, the more hair and potential messes you'll have. If you are going to use a gate to confine him to a portion of the RV, it is best to make it an uncarpeted area. That will make clean up much easier. Even pets trained to go outside will have little accidents when spending long periods of time on the road.

On The Road

With your furry friend aboard, you'll have to make more pit stops. He'll need to relieve himself, stretch his legs and drink plenty of water. It is recommended that you make a stop every 3 hours or so. Make sure that you leash him before the door opens, or you may find yourself chasing him all over the rest stop.

You'll have to make sure dogs are okay at the campsite. Most campsites have a limit to the number of animals, and it can be as low as one. If you have three or more, it might be tough to find a place to camp out.

Be sure to follow the campsite's rules. These can be pretty strict, and they are different from one campground to the next. It will usually involve bringing disposal bags, making sure he is leashed, and checking to see whether dogs are allowed in certain areas. Remember that these restrictions are mostly for your pet's safety, to protect him from larger animals that might consider him a tasty snack.

Bring several leashes. A great alternative to leashing your dog at a campsite is a portable outdoor exercise pen. This is a pen that you set up each place you go that allows your dog freedom of movement, without the risk of him wandering off to places he shouldn't go.

Once you've got everything covered, traveling the country with your four-legged friend can be a great experience. It's a shame to leave him at home when you travel. Why not share the experience of the road with your canine companion?
