I particularly enjoy the arrival of this issue, because it brings with it one of the pieces of work about which we are most proud: our annual Top 100 Sites Guide. Guide editor Sarah Wakely and the team have been flat-out over the past month, collating your votes on the best parks across Great Britain. We couldn’t do it without your help, so a big thank you from us, and we hope you find it a useful reference over the coming 12 months. Also this month, Vera Whalley and Suzanne Asquith bring two very different perspectives on caravanning with a disability. Their fundamental message, however, remains the same: wherever you choose to pitch, one of the greatest things about touring is the freedom it brings you, and for those whose…

Stay cooler in the car this summer Touring during the warmer weather is fantastic, but it does have one downside – the sun beating onto your car during a long journey can be really uncomfortable, as passengers and pets end up both hot and bothered. But that’s where these brilliant Car Shades come in: they simply clip in place to shield the rear windows, helping reduce the temperature of the cabin. They even stay in situ when the windows are down, preventing insects from entering, and can be easily removed when not needed. The Car Shades are available for more than 400 models of vehicle, and are a tailored fit for each. The average price for a set is £60, and you can find out further information about them at…

New campsite for Snowdonia SOME EXCITING NEWS from Morris Leisure this month: the company operates a number of campsites in the Shropshire and North Wales area, and has added a new location for 2016 that’s due to open at the start of March. Llanberis Touring Park is located in the Snowdonia National Park, and is just a five-minute walk from the village of Llanberis itself: the latter is a great base from which to enjoy a bike ride or a walk. The site features high-quality amenities, including spotless washrooms, facilities for disabled people, full security and a laundry. Dogs are welcome, and Wi-Fi is available. The park is open until the end of October, and prices for two adults on a hardstanding pitch start from £26.20; discounts are available for…

We’ve been keeping caravans toasty warm for 60 years now. If there’s one thing that caravan owners know, it’s that British weather is unpredictable. One minute you’re expecting a heatwave and the next you’re reaching for an extra jumper. But whether you’re basking in sunshine in October or trying to make the most of a washout summer weekend, there’s still nowhere you’d rather be than in your caravan. What you need is a convenient, economical and reliable heating system that makes even the worst winter seem a breeze. What you need is Alde. 60 Years of Innovation Alde was founded more than 60 years ago by Swedish caravanner, Alde Rask. Looking for a way to keep his family warm while holidaying in the depths of the Scandinavian winter, Alde developed…

South Lea’s 60 pitches all have electric hook-up and the site is often filled to capacity but retains a family-friendly atmosphere. The trees are dotted with bird boxes and owls are regular visitors. There is a large grass area away from the pitches for ball games, and a play park. The appeal for my parents is that the site is flat, as is most of the surrounding area. The bus stop is outside the site, making York, Beverly and Hull within easy reach. The coast is a bit further and is much easier to reach by car.

Bailey Pegasus Ancona Tested by Alastair Clements Price £18,179 Berths 5 MiRO 1296kg Payload 179kg MTPLM 1475kg IN A NUTSHELL Living in the lap of luxury: going solo in a five-berth van! A PARTICULARLY WET and windy festive season ensured that the Bailey Pegasus Ancona got limited use, so I was keen to get it on the road and, when I found myself with a lot of work to catch up on, it was an ideal excuse for a midweek break. I booked myself into Chertsey Camping and Caravanning Club Site – which was surprisingly busy despite the recent flooding. I grabbed the caravan on a Monday evening, hooked up and cranked up the Truma heating. It was already warm by the time I’d finished filling the Aquaroll, though there…

A HEAVYWEIGHT 4X4 in the BMW X5/Toyota Land Cruiser class and a whole lot cheaper than either, the original Sorento was praised for its towing ability and value when we reviewed it five years ago. So much was expected of the Sorento II, especially because Kia made a lot of noise about its ethos of constant improvement, and its offer of a seven-year/100,000-mile transferable warranty. That covers everything except brakes, clutch, tyres and other consumables, and makes any secondhand Sorento II with fewer than six figures on the clock an attractive proposition. The updated version was a little longer and a little slimmer than its predecessor (which is unusual these days) and improved its offer in almost all departments: new, more fuel-efficient engines, better gearboxes, vastly improved looks and a…

‘It is possible to reject a van within 30 days of purchase if it is defective’ KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! IN HIS INTRODUCTION to last month’s Owner Satisfaction Awards, Nigel Hutson referred to changes in consumer law implemented on 1 October 2015, and several readers have since asked how these will affect leisure-vehicle purchases. Here’s my everyman interpretation. Since the changes took effect, consumers have had: • The right to clear and honest information before they buy • The right to get what they paid for • The right to expect the caravan to be fit for purpose and that services will be provided with reasonable care and skill • The right to expect that any faults in the purchased product will be put right free of charge, or that a…

OMNIVENTS — SOME PEOPLE love them, others don’t. Personally, I quite like them, but I’ve found a secondary use for them and have, over the years, relied on them to bring cool air into the van rather than as an extractor fan; in hot weather, it’s especially effective when paired with a portable desk fan. Yes, they can be noisy, especially early versions, like the late 1990s model in this example. They were made of solid plastic and blocked out daylight. Newer ones are made of clear plastic and, as a result, are far better. They also have mesh upper screens rather than solid-plastic slats as before. Later versions boast touch-sensitive controls rather than positive switches; they look neater but opinion is divided over whether they work any better. Historic…

Layout Layout finder finder J This is a compact layout that you’ll usually find in the shortest vans on the market; the double bed is made up from the pair of sofas at the front. You’ll sometimes find that the sofas aren’t long enough to be used as single beds, so be sure to check this if it’s important to you. The washroom is located in the corner, and, as a result, is often narrow. Pros No inch of space is wasted here: you’ll have everything you need in a small area. Cons The washroom is unlikely to have a separate shower, and can be narrow. The kitchen may have limited work surface, and storage is likely to be at a premium. A Check that the lounge area and the…

Focus on… Eriba Eriba may now be under Hymer’s giant corporate umbrella, having been manufactured in France for years, but very little else has changed in more than 50 years. Styling tweaks aside, the instantly recognisable bullet shape is much as it was back in the day, the pop-top roof still affords good headroom yet allows for straightforward storage, and, of course, the famous tubular steel frame gives these little tourers legendary build quality and impeccable towing manners. They are really beautifully engineered, too — you only need look at the latest models’ gloriously over-done gas-locker lid and main entrance door to realise that these caravans are very much built up to a standard, and not down to a price. Speaking of which, you might want to sit down before…

‘Should the mauled, poisoned and recently scratched assailant continue their efforts they will encounter an electrified, barbed and razor-wire fence’ FOLLOWING THE DISTURBING news that thefts of caravans rose a whopping 20% in 2015, I have decided that drastic measures are called for to ensure that no thieving blighter gets his (or her) hands on my pride and joy. Assuming such fiendish cads are unlikely to be readers of Practical Caravan, I shall share most (but not all, just in case) of my home-devised anti-theft armoury with you. Starting from the outside in. First, I have traded in our docile golden retrievers for something more… what’s the word…? Oh yes… illegal. The aptly named ‘Fang’ is a Mongolian Staffordshire Bengal Scorpion Poison Dart Frog cross, that simultaneously bites and stings,…

We have each other, two lovely dogs and a caravan. We only wish for good health, nothing else is worth worrying about. Alan Maughan We have a spreadsheet with our plans, trips and places we want to visit. So to blow away the blues, all I need to do is open that spreadsheet and read what adventures lie ahead. Dan Trudgian Treat yourself to a new lightweight accessory – a new set of mugs, for example. Or buy a nice bottle of wine and keep that as something to look forward to. Then research new sites like a caravanning episode of CSI! Debbie Booth We spend hours planning where to go!

1 Cheese & wine Do you enjoy both wine and cheese? Head to the Sharpham Estate in Totnes, Devon, which grows a variety of grapes for its own wines, and produces Jersey milk for its handmade cheeses. There are plenty of tours and treks across the 500-acre estate, so you can build up an appetite before the tastings start. Stay at Ashbourne Woods Web www.ashbournewoods.com 2 Welsh specialities Glyndwr Vineyard, an eco-friendly operation, is the largest vineyard in Wales. It produces popular wines in the Vale of Glamorgan and has beautiful gardens and woodland to explore. Pitch up at Llandow Touring Caravan Park, where you can choose between the family area and the new quiet zone with sparkling facilities. It’s just a 10-minute drive away. Stay at Llandow Touring Caravan…

We spent the whole week based at Black Horse Farm Caravan Club site in Densole, near Folkestone. It’s open all year and is fairly compact for a club site, but feels all the more intimate and welcoming as a result. Eighty-four of the 118 pitches are hardstanding and some are fully serviced – ours was enormous, with room for a car, a caravan and awning and plenty of space left over. Special ‘ferry’ pitches are available for caravanners overnighting to catch an early morning ferry (25 minutes away) or Eurotunnel train (10 minutes) across the Channel to France, too. Facilities are to the club’s usual high standards and there are plenty of local shops for stocking up on grocery essentials. We can recommend the pub opposite the site for food,…

1 Two for one Ashton Court Estate near Bristol has separate 100-acre parks for its fallow and red deer, and offers guided walks through both – even in the winter. Stay at Brook Lodge Farm Web www.brook lodgefarm.com 2 Feast your eyes Attingham Park is a National Trust property outside Shrewsbury, with fallow deer wandering its grounds. It’s fun to watch the wardens feed them in the winter.

Northern powerhouse kicks off show season A NEW EVENT has joined the roster of regional shows: Camperex 2016, held in Liverpool in January. It majored on tents and accessories, but was also the backdrop for the launch of niche tourers: Barefoot (‘First look’, February), R-pod, Teardrop and Driftwood. Teardrop Caravans, of Flintshire, displayed two models at Camperex; they can be built to the buyer’s specifications – even matching the colour to your tow car’s – and used year-round. The décor has a fun vibe, MiROs start from 300kg and prices from £4499. Driftwood Campers bring new meaning to ‘green touring’. They are built on restored chassis using reclaimed materials. The framework and cladding are from Accoya, an acetylated (modified) wood that is 80% less susceptible to water absorption. The four-berth…

First drive SsangYong Tivoli D ELX Auto 4x4 Price £19,500 Kerbweight 1555kg 85% match 1322kg Towing limit 1500kg Towball limit 80kg WE’VE DRIVEN THE SsangYong Tivoli before and were impressed by its interior space and value. Now a 4x4 version broadens the crossover’s appeal to caravanners. The Tivoli uses torque-on-demand, so power goes to the front wheels until the tyres struggle for grip, when power is sent to the rear. For towing from a muddy pitch, the car can be locked in four-wheel-drive mode. As well as better traction, the extra weight of the 4x4 transmission makes the Tivoli a suitable match for a wider range of vans. We drove the six-speed automatic, whose kerbweight of 1555kg includes 75kg for the driver and gives an 85% match of 1322kg. The…

How much? £7500-£20,000 I did actually see a Sorento II advertised privately for £3950, but it was a KX-1 manual with nearly 200,000 on the clock; £7500, as shown above, is more realistic. KX-2s with some breathing space before they hit the all-important 100k mark start at around £10,000 for a 2010 model (that’s £15,000 in depreciation in six years) and move up from there. You can pay a little less for a KX-1, and at least £1250 more for a KX-3. Given the warranty issue and the fact that age affects values more than mileage, the hot ticket has to be a 2011 car with low mileage. What will it tow? Kerbweight ..........................1920kg 85% match........................... 1632kg Towing limit....................... 2000kg Towball limit..........................100kg (Figures for 2011 Sorento 2.2 CRDi auto) How…

Layout finder R With a parallel lounge, dinette and end washroom, this is usually a family-friendly four-berth layout. The dinette normally converts into two bunks and there is a privacy curtain to separate the areas at night. The dinette can be used in a few ways: as extra space for preparing meals, for kids' quiet play or by couples who use it for dining, so they do not have to pack away the double bed. Pros The side dinette is a handy eating and break-out area and the end washroom offers comfort and privacy. Cons The layout works best with 5.5m bodyshells or longer. Older children may find the bunks uncomfortable. A The lounge should allow room for four to eat in comfort B You'll usually find plenty of workspace…

By now you’re sure to have noticed that you’ve received a free, 116-page magazine with this issue of Practical Caravan — it’s time for the publication of our annual Top 100 Sites Guide! Each year, we ask caravanners, motorcaravanners, campers and those who stay in static caravans for their feedback on the UK’s best campsites. Thousands of you cast your votes; we then collect the data, and our expert team have their say to allow us to put together a comprehensive list of Britain’s very best places to stay. We’re hugely proud of the work that goes into the guide, and the fact that it is completely unbiased and fair: no site can buy its way into our listings! These pages carry a brief round-up of what you’ll find in…

When to go The Black Forest is spectacular any time of year; the winter offers skiing on the slopes, while summer gives you the opportunity to try out cycle and walking trails. You may find that things are cheaper and quieter in the spring and autumn, when there are fewer crowds.

• If you are going to opt for a seasonal pitch, check out the local area thoroughly. If walking isn’t your thing then choosing a site on a hillside isn’t going to work out for you • Make life easy for yourself.

It makes reading easier if you only have one working arm! • Don’t be afraid to accept or ask for help, especially at 3am during a hurricane • Look for a seasonal site that does storage as well. That way you are not having to arrange for towing twice a year • There are various ways you can adapt your van, dependent on budget and mobility. From…

WAY TO GO Densole is easily reached even with the biggest caravan in tow, located as it is just off the A260, which links the main A2 Dover road to the north and the M20 to the south. If there’s an issue to watch out for, it concerns the implementation of Operation Stack on the M20 (where lorries are corralled in the event of disruption to cross-Channel services), which can wreak havoc in the area.

As lapsed caravan owners from the 1990s, and as a retired couple now, my wife and I plan to return to the nomadic life afforded by caravanning. We currently have our eyes on purchasing a VW Passat Alltrack 190PS and coupling this with an Eriba Troll 550 fixed-bed model with bells and whistles, including a motor mover. My query is: would this outfit be a safe match? Richard Pell Motty replies… Although a large caravan by Eriba’s standards, the Troll 550 is still a relatively light tourer. The current model has a Mass in Running Order (MiRO) of 1000kg and a Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM) of 1300kg. Although a motor mover would add to the unladen weight of the Troll, the 1300kg maximum still applies. Based on my…

Sorento KX-2 2.2 CRDi My last Kia was a 2.5 Sorento — a better tug than the KX-2, but fuel consumption with the new car is much better. I can average 27.5mpg towing and 49mpg solo. The KX-2 is also a more comfortable drive with a nicer interior. Dougie Gordon Sorento KX-2 2.2 CRDi Solo, this is possibly the best car I have had, but the clutch smells when towing uphill or reversing, I did not expect a car that is supposed to be capable of towing 2500kg to have clutch smell. My caravan has been replated to 1700kg but, even when it was empty and returned for warranty work, the clutch smelled. If you want to spend £28,000+ on this car, go for the auto.

Layout finder S With a nearside-rear dinette as well as rear corner bunks, this layout has lots of space for the kids, while mum and dad relax in the lounge. The amidships kitchen is short on work surface, but the side dinette provides extra space. The washroom, opposite the kitchen, is useful for nighttime visits, but there is not as much elbow room in the shower. Pros Children can take over the rear while their parents relax up front. The rear dinette offers a separate play space, and can usually be shut off from the rest of the van. Cons The washroom has limited space, and the kitchen is squeezed between the lounge and the main door. A This area may house a wardrobe or dresser unit B Fixed bunks…
