Very poorly written..lots of.mistakes that should not be in a book..repeated sentences .And the book is clutching at a lot of straws..a.man with a head and breaths oxygen is.NOT a link..I would say 80% of the cases are NOT linked to Halliwell.

Hi Steve, we recently changed to a sky sim for our data roaming in the caravan. We use the sim in an EE My Wifi modem and it works great in the UK. We have recently travelled to france and are having difficulty enabling roaming on the sky sim as it isnt in a mobile phone. How do you enable roaming on your sky sim when you travel abroad? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for yet another great video, from what we’ve seen of the site and the city’s Belgium is not for us. Really felt for you guys with all the wet and dirty kit, kind of makes coming back home something to look forward too apart from the cleaning required. I think I’d have done into meltdown and found another site straight away. After saying that would really like to visit Ypres, maybe travel there to visit from France 😂😂👍

Guys can I ask what breakdown cover slash insurance you use first time going abroad with caravan looking for any advice on this
@beyondthatbluedoor
@beyondthatbluedoor Ай бұрын
We have caravan insurance with the Caravan Club but initially via the C&CC on our previous 2 caravans as it was cheaper & the value of the caravan was not so expensive.Breakdown (Car & Caravan & Repatriation) via the paid for Nationwide Flex as its included with it & you also get mobile insurance & worldwide travel insurance included. We pay slightly more on our car insurance to make sure it covers towing & covers fully comp in Europe - have a great trip & thanks for watching though!!

Thanks for yet another vlog I’ve enjoyed! Nice to watch the bird feeding ❤. We’re about to get our new 8ft caravan with an infinity window and we’re in two minds whether to get the specialised tow pro elite or tow pro infinity elite (which seems to be a lot of faff …). Do you find that you get a lot of dirt, especially sticky bugs on your roof front window?

@@beyondthatbluedoor thanks for getting back Steve, just offered you it first just because I followed you from day one and used most of your ideas. I ordered this cover paid 525 and my caravan I had to cancel I was gutted. I ordered the infinity one padded top spec black with grey sides. Will fit 29 caravans according to specialised covers had it delivered to me within 10 days and caravan was cancelled day before it arrived. I contacted cover company who said no return and they would not even swap for the same cover for the caravan I have now. Which I have the tow pro same as Graham caravan vlogger, but they are not very reliable and great once they have sold you the cover. I had trouble a couple of years ago with the cover being damaged but they would not accept liability, not just me happening to quite a few. But hopefully someone will save 125 pounds, Thanks anyway looking forward to your next video take care 👍

Hi to you both We have a 6 week old Bailey and had a few issues which has been back to the dealer twice. We have used the van for 20 days and had issues with rear bedroom floor twice , leak from bathroom sink ( lucky we were in the van at the time) and it has to go back again for a delaminated worktop ( although useable for now) but not until June because of part availablity. We are being very patient but looking for the next fault , not good. All the best , Gaz.

Hi just a quick question regarding the grande elegance range. Looking at towing cover but it looks like all models have the same front and width 8ft ? Don’t know if you have an idea or any one else can help. Agree with you regarding the table, especially weight and location. 👍

Thanks for your reply, the only reason why I asked is that I had a 730 elegance on order single axle, but last minute found out it wasn’t capable of the 2kg upgrade. Was a mistake by Glossop caravans. But they gave me my deposit back. While I was waiting for my new caravan as I thought, I contacted specialised covers and they said better to order now for your new cover because of the wait especially with the show next week. So I ordered my new cover the elite one that covers the sunroof, no logo just grey side black middle. It came Saturday the day the caravan was cancelled. Contacted specialised cover and they said even though you haven’t opened it which I had not, that they would not have it back. Absolutely furious because it will fit all elegance new 8ft caravan. So now I’m stuck, but I’ve had issues with them before, customer service after is very disappointing. So I have now to sell privately at a loss due to lack of empathy from them. But thanks for getting back 👍

interesting video for me as Im in the middle of deciding what to do about the mobile internet thing. I bought a new caravan last month and got an Avtex device 994X fitted to the roof by the dealer. Its awaiting a SIM card and Im pondering which one to go for at present. O2 would be the carrier of choice because of 2 reasons. (a) o2 roam free in Europe (b) I can piggyback it onto my work O2 account and therefore work will pay for it. Im really interested in the roll-over idea because that would suit caravanners perfectly as we dont go off in caravan that much. Not sure if O2 do this but will find not on Monday when I go into the local O2 shop.
