Im a bit dissapointed with that cut edge behind the window seal. Wonder why they couldnt cut it straight ? Also is the seal just glued in place ? Caravans are expensive and the least they can do is build them with skill and care !

You could do with a portable power station to plug in to your electric hook up for a couple of days. That would probably keep it topped up if you did it once a month during the winter period 😊

Hi there. Love Scotland too. We can recommend Glen Nevis Caravan Site at the base of Ben Nevis. It may be a good one to do after Glen Coe. Then there’s Ardmair Point Caravan Site in Ullapool. We used the Caledonian MacBrayne ferries from there to see the islands of Eigg, Muck, Rum and Canna and also Lewis. On the way back down, Culzean Castle (C+CC site) near Ayr was lovely. We took a CalMac ferry from Ardrossan to visit Arran for a day and used the bus to travel around the islands. In Northumberland we love South Meadows Caravan Site. It’s north of Alnwick just off the A1 on the outskirts of the village of Belford. Beautiful site with an excellent location. Hope that’s of some use to you, Happy caravanning.👍
