    5th wheel security

    Any chance of a Brit' picking your brains please guys? I'm about to purchase my first 5ver for use in the UK. As these are a VERY rare beast in the UK, spares are difficult to source and most has to come from your side of the "pond". What I'm looking for is a U.S based supplier who would ship...

    RVing in the snowy UK

    Most of us tend to stay off the roads in adverse conditions, as I'm sure most of you guys would try to. It doesn't help, of course, that our inept, tight fisted governement has yet again been caught out by the totally unexpected weather conditions that most of the weather forcasters and most of...

    DVLA/VOSA new rules in April?

    Bare in mind, it's only what I've heard, I don't state it as FACT.  My info was picked up off a UK base RV Club Forum and the main gist seemed to be that the O/A width of UK allowable RV's would be increasesd to up to 102" wide (I think) and also would finally state (IN WRITING!) that the O/A...

    DVLA/VOSA new rules in April?

    As I understand it, a new set of rules is to be introduced around April with regard to size restrictions on RV's in the UK? There have been quite a few unoficial leaks and speculation as to the content, but does anybody know if any of these "new" rules will apply to 5vers? I'm thinking in terms...

    Hello from a VERY cold UK :-)

    Hiya Tom ;D Always UK for us I'm afraid, apart from holidays.......sorry, VACATIONS! ;D We gave up the house because we were never in it! Either working, or away in the British motorhomes that we had at the time. For us, fulltiming was a fairly logical step, especially as we neither have, nor...

    Hello from a VERY cold UK :-)

    Hiya Guys ;D First post for us so we thought we'd say hello. My name's Paul and together with my wife ffiona, we are Fulltimers in the UK. We've had a fantastic past 10 years fulltiming using A class RV's but due to horrendous fuel costs over here, we had to sell our last RV back in May. At the...
