We really like the fact that you promote best practice. As retired cops (including several spells on traffic) we can vouch for the fact your towing arrangements are spot on. Everything is always done correctly without corner cutting - the index plates being a case in point. Anyone seeking MH tips won’t go far wrong watching your videos! Have a great trip. We love touring out of season and will be sneaking 4 nights away next week.

Lovely site , thank you for showing your set up. This time of year is awful for the dogs isn’t it, we’ve got a Tibetan terrier and last night he was hiding behind the settee as the fireworks were so loud. Tara and Poppy have been enjoying their walks, lovely to see them. Enjoy your well deserved break and look forward to your next video. Beautiful scenery around you and Jenny’s new phone takes a lovely photo x

Thankfully we have a ban on fireworks most of the year here in Denmark. It is only allowed to use fireworks from dec.21 untill jan.2. Animal lovers put pressure on the politicians and got a ban on selling and using it the rest of the year. There is also a limit to how much noise it ia allowed to make. Every new year vets call out for a total ban on fireworks because dogs and farm animals are scared. Imagine being a refugee having fled the war and then being scared half to dead every time fireworks go off.

Hi guys, hope you have a lovely break, it looks beautiful there. Sorry for another basic question but what’s the difference between a service site and an ordinary one? I’m guessing the clue is in the word ‘service’, ie electricity, water, waste disposal, but if that’s the case why would anyone choose a non-service site, there doesn’t seem to be much of a price difference? Many thanks for your patience with my questions!

Do you have to take out the locking screws from the bumper?. Somebody who lives near me has a motorhome and tow's a fiat 500 , but leaves the locking screws on all the time. I thought that would be illegal.

Not sure it's illegal, but certainly dangerous, as bumpers are meant to have some give when you hit something, not punch two holes in what you hit!

Actually we are at home as we felt the bangs from fireworks would be louder in the van than in the house. However Troutbeck looks to be well away from the loonies and is a great choice I hope. You certainly know your Caravan club sites, and use them to good effect. Our youngest son is a police officer and is always on duty this time of year, dealing with the dangerous and stupid fools. We dog sit his dog who is stressed by the noise when left by herself. Have a good trip.

Hi Bob just completed the NC500 and trying to catch up on your great vlogs. I was just looking at the Tow A Frame that you have and the condition it is in. Should have checked back but, I thought Tow A Frame gave you a new one about 12mths ago and if that is the case they don't seem tp weather well. Have you ever taken the car abroad with you on that frame or do you now need a trailer?

Yes you're right it was a year ago. It is surface rust, and I have mentioned it to Tow A Frame. Keep watching, I'll be doing another video about it in January. I've never felt the need to take the car abroad. It costs more on the tunnel and we are often moving on after a day or two.
