Starting to panic about our what I need/ don't need for our first caravan.
Caravan has a cassette toilet, what chemicals do I need to buy for it?
Have just bought a Sunncamp Ultima 390 awning, didn't want a full sized one just yet, are they any good? It looks nice.
Did managed to get storage for the van, which is very hard to get in Fife, so that's one less panic, still got to get insurance, but it's just over a week till we pick up the van.
There are a few different products, blue for the main tank pink for the top. Pop into Kirkcaldy caravans they will sort you out. Or there is Fenwicks Top and Tail this does both the Top and Bottom tank, and is more enviromentaly friendly.
Did you get storage at the new site next to coaltown castle?

Hi vangogogo- we have a Suncamp Ultima 390 had it for nearly 3yrs now and it is great. Great for long stays, we also have a small porch awning for short weekend stays. As for Loo chemicals--we only use the Elsan double pack of pink and blue, we have never had any problems with this although there are other products on the market -it just comes down to personal preference. Good luck with everything. Cheers Gary
We did get storage at the site at Balgonie Castle, very happy with it. They were full, but upgrading areas to make more space which will be ready when when we need it. Phoned a friend who recommended them, dropping her name worked which was very much appreciated.
I like kirkcaldy caravans, thats where we bought the caravan, awning, hitchlock, wheel clamp, so will get my loo supplies there as well.
My husband just needs a satallite dish and we are all the way.
Vangogogo,
Storage in this area is quite hard since the one in Thorton closed down. We moved to Ladybank. I think you have just missed an Aldi Satalite system I, sure they had them last week.
We use top & tail 4 our van it has a lovley smell.Get it in Halfords only £10 4 big bottle.Cheaper Than a lot of the caravan shops & you only have 1 bottle to take instead of 2 seperate bottles (pink & blue).
Glad to see you've managed to get storage, I didn't realise the Thornton site had closed down (left a message and wondered why I didn't get any reply!). Do you have any details of the Coaltown site, I've tried googling it but can't find anything. We're hopefully picking up our new van around the 10th (?) but I think it's coming in on the 1st too - look out for it, its a Quasar 546. can't wait. Pity it's not in time for next weekends holiday.
Good luck with your insurance search, first place we tried came out at £305 - eek, we thought, thats dear, next one was over £400!!
Insurance I have been with the caravan club for the last three years but they quoted me £300 for my new to me 2006 odessey. I went with caravan guard £216.
