We are often asked to review camping products for customers and give our opinions.

 Have a look at www.gearweare.com next time you need a review for those essential camping items.

Every year we are asked by our customers if we can give any suggestions for preparing for winter so we have decided to put our top tips on here for you.

1. Open up all of your taps and completely drain down your water system. This will help you avoid frost damage to any shower or tap units which can become an expensive fix before the new season. Systems such as the Floe drain down kits can help with this.

2. Open up cupboards, internal doors and tip cushions on end. This allows air to circulate more evenly around the caravan which in turn reduces the chances of damp.

3. Use dehumidifiers through your van. These, along with opening cupboards etc, will help reduce damp and soak up any moisture still lingering.

4. Disconnect your battery and bench charge it to maintain your battery until needed again. If you have a tracker fitted ensure you have a spare, fully charged battery to alternate with your main one. This way you will never be without your tracker.

5. Using products such as Fenwicks Overwintering allows you to put a protective coating on your caravan or motorhome during the winter months. This helps avoid dirt and algae forming on your caravan. Alternatively why not look at using a Caravan Cover to fully protect your unit.

6. Secure your unit!!!! Nothing is more important than making sure your caravan or motorhome is safe during winter. There are a number of methods including using hitch locks, wheel locks, trackers and winter wheels. The more security devices you use the better just remember to look for the Sold Secure rating to ensure it is recognised by your insurance provider.

If you are enquiring about the new FLOE water systems, we now have them on our web site. If you need any advice please contact Howard at info@waudbys.co.uk thank you.

Here are just a couple of our own suggestions!!

If you love spooky stories and thrilling nights there are a number of Halloween events running at Longleat Safari & Adventure Park this October which are perfect for families and adults alike including a stunning firework show. The local Caravan Club site is also extending its open days for this event.

Hundreds of classic and iconic cars will be descending on Regent Street this winter for a spectacular show for enthusiasts and admirers. Why not have a long break near London and look at some of the fantastic new shows in the museums and galleries while you're in town for the classic car extravaganza!!

Or shop till you drop at the Birmingham NEC Caravan and Motorhome Show (11-16th October) and look at the many innovations and products that will be landing on our shelves in 2012.

Through September we have a new offer each week which can be seen below -  

September 15th - 21st - 10% off a selection of outdoor living products including chairs, tables, wardrobes and much, much more.

Most Kampa and Compactalite awnings also have 10% Off through all of September!!

As well as these fantaastic offers we have other offers either daily, weekly or monthly running alongside our main ones. Contact us for more details and our friendly staff will be more than ready to help.

We are often asked at Waudbys if we have any advice for days out or events happening in the UK. We always give as much help as possible but we have found these two fantastic websites, among others, that are full of all the information you could need for family or adult days out.

www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk is a brilliant website that allows you to pinpoint the area you want to visit, type of activity and age range of children to make it really easy to find that perfect day out!! If you sign up to the website you can also recieve discounts and updates!!

www.iknow-uk.co.uk is also brilliant for any information on the area your travelling to. There are a number of links to iknow websites that will take you to the specific area you want and give you info on restaurants, activities and sites. Fantastic especially if your looking for activities without the kids!!

 There are of course dozens of wonderful websites that offer pages of information but we have chosen 2 we particularly like to get you started!! Get online, get searching and have fun in 2011!!

Our Showroom is open/closed over the festive period as follows:

CLOSED: Thursday 23rd December 2010 to Tuesday 28th December 2010.

I would like to wish all my customers a lovely christmas and new year, thank you, Howard Waudby

We find that many of our customers, who are both new and seasoned tourers, decide to join local and national clubs. Camping and caravanning clubs are fantastic as they give you more security and support when holidaying by offering monthly/weekly news and a number of services and support.

But did you know that many of these major clubs have local or specialised clubs for different needs and interests.

The Camping and Caravanning Club for example have a myriad of specialised clubs including ones for photographers, kayakers, lightweight campers and even folk song and dance groups. These clubs can offer a family of like minded campers and caravanners to tour with or just to catch up with from time to time. There are sites for the young and old alike so why not have a look, you may be surprised...

Martin House (Registered Charity no- 517919) opened in 1987 to provide family led care for children with life-threatening and life-limiting illnesses. At the centre in Yorkshire children and young people can stay with their families for support, rest and practical help. Since opening Martin House have helped in the development of children's hospice care not only in the UK but around the world. In 2002 Martin House also successfully opened the new Whitby Lodge centre for teenagers and children.

For a number of years now we have had a successful stall in our shop run by Don and Vera Waudby with items such as books and toys, generously donated by customers, from which all the money goes directly to Martin House. We would like to thank all of the people who visit our showroom and donate as it makes a huge difference to young people and their families.

If you would like more information about Martin House and fundraising events they run please go to their website -  www.martinhouse.org.uk/

Why not pop down and see us at our stand where Ann, Sam and Clair will be waiting with a display of our unbeatable products and lots of friendly advice!! We hope to see you there.

 There is a large variety of other clubs such as ones for retired couples, under 35's, adventure sport enthusiasts and many many more. Clubs can offer much more than cheap sites and we know many people who have made lifelong friends through clubs so we fully recommend to get your most of them and enjoy your holidays!!!

The Hose Tail says SEMPERIT - 03/10 on any of the following models: 

R4HPRO - 400mm Propane Hose Tail

R5HPRO - 450mm Propane Hose Tail

R7HPRO - 750mm Propane Hose Tail

R15HPRO - 1500mm Propane Hose Tail

If while on holiday or in storage your tent/awning canvas becomes damaged first look at the size and type of damage.
If the hole is small (less than an inch in diameter) and fairly central in a panel or roof it can be repaired using nylon and acrylic patches which are widely available. Before your repair thoroughly clean the area and remember to re-proof after to avoid those nasty leaks or further damage and always allow plenty of time for the area to dry. There is nothing worse than seeing panels or windows stuck together when you next arrive on site!! Have a look at our products such as Seam Sealer, Fabsil and Isabella's range of awning products which are all fantastic for home repairs

If you find the damage/hole is large (bigger than an inch) or is close to a tension point (near peg points, seams or fittings) then we recommend having your awning or tent professionally repaired and re-proofed. These types of damage must be treated properly as cleaning products and incorrect handling will only increase problems and make them much harder to repair again. Although it can be more expensive option, depending on the repair, it is worth it and won't cost you a new awning/tent if the repair goes wrong!

Awnings and tents are supplied with a large range of poles but there a couple of simple things to keep in mind.
If your poles are the pre-fitted fibre glass ones commonly found in tents then you can replace snapped poles or shock cord cheaply yourself. Shock cord kits with the tools and directions are available, so you do not have to replace the whole set, as are new fibre poles. Fibre glass poles are available in a range of sizes so it is best to check which diameter you need. These poles can also be cut down using a small hack saw and masking tape to prevent edges from breaking.
If your awning or tent does not have the small fibre glass poles but large carbon fibre, steel or alloy poles then contact the retailer you bought it from with your make and model as a large proportion of poles are specifically designed for certain awnings/tents. If it is only a connection or clamp you require these can often be bought as a replacement to avoid buying a whole new pole.
If you need replacements for a Trio awning then contact Trio Pair who now repair and offer spares for the discontinued Trio brand. If it is a Bradcot awning you must contact them directly.

To avoid damage in the future remember the following things-

• Don't pack away your awning/tent wet as it can damage your canvas.
• Never roll away your awning/tent the same way twice. By doing this it creates creases in the material which can soon turn in to cracks.
• Do not over tension your poles this can snap shock cord or damage connections between poles
• If you have an awning check the awning rail on your van or the point to which you are fixing it to as these rails occasionally cause snags and rips if sharp.
• Don't stretch your limitations. Not all awnings and tents are designed to withstand very strong weather so check before you put your product up so it won't be damaged unexpectedly

Before embarking on any repair or replacement you MUST check the warranty status and information of your awning/tent. If you choose to make a repair without checking your warranty status you could invalidate any cover you currently have.

Isabella are one of the longest running awning manufacturers and have a reputation for excellence so we often like to check their current news and products here at Waudbys and we thought we would tell you about a great new feature on their website.

You can now view online their entire back catalogue of brochures and browse through some scenes from the past - 60 years of caravan awnings!!! We have thoroughly enjoyed looking at their awnings through the ages and thought you may also like a peek.

 http://www.isabella.net/uk/extra/catalogues/

If you are struggling for space why not pop online at home and order from your favourite supermarket for delivery to your site before you leave. Ring your site before you leave and you may find they are more than happy for you to have food delivered.

The Camping and Caravan Club have launched a new initiative called Eat Local and work with a number of people to list where you can buy local produce near your favourite club sites. Have a look at their website for more details on eating organic and healthy local produce near you.

For lightweight camping why not keep herbs, dried fruit and spices in small sandwich bags to give simple meals an extra kick. It's often hard finding different things to eat when you have limited cooking space and flavourings stored in bags can really make a difference. Sauce sachets from takeaways and café's can also be fantastic to take as they only take up a small space but come in a big variety.

Barbecues are not just for summer!! Have a look at the Cobb barbecue in our Outdoor Cooking section!! Not only does the Cobb cook everything from burgers to soup it also doesn't smoke which makes it perfect for cooking in your awning. The Cobb is often featured on Hairy Bikers cooking show on TV and has found a place in the heart of many of our customers.

Or if you want to kick back and relax why not just pop to your nearest pub or clubhouse for a meal instead?!

We also have some fantastic outdoor games arriving this week including giant dominoes and 4-in1 game sets as well as badminton, tennis and lawn darts which are perfect for all the family. Don't be bored this holiday, have a look at our entertainment page instead!!

Here at Waudbys we are often asked for advice when converting horseboxes and recieve many enquiries about equestrian products so we have now begun to supply them!! Not only do we keep a full range of horse, rider and stable accessories but we also have a full range of horsebox parts large and small. Take a look at our Pets and Equine pages and you may just be suprised!! If you have any questions about the products contact samaya@waudbys.co.uk for more information.

Not sure the part you are looking at is the right one? Will an awning fit your motorhome? Well we have recently added a new feature called Live Chat so you can ask a question right then and there online. The Live Chat icon will appear on the right hand side of your screen whenever a member of staff is logged on Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

We hope this might make your shopping experience with us easier and more enjoyable because you can troubleshoot straight away with no worries. We look forward to talking to you soon!!!

It may not seem the perfect time of year to go camping but you would be suprised, a little extra planning can ensure a fantastic holiday, even in the snow.

• Remember to pack enough warm clothes so you have plenty of spares. Sitting in damp clothes from a long hike will only make you colder. A hat for bedtime is also a great idea because as tempting as it is to curl up and hide in your sleeping bag the moisture from your breath can effect insulating and cause problems. But remember not to wear too many layers as sweating can cool you down twice as fast in winter.
• Winter is a great chance to try new activities like skiing, sledging and hiking. Many sites now offer winter activities and ideas for the kids so you always have something to do. Plus don't forget the sky is at it's best in winter for those who like to star gaze around the campfire.
• A hot water bottle is an essential but if you forget why not fill your standard water bottle from the day and pop it in a sock. Instant heat and perfect to keep your toes warm.
• Heat pads are also a great idea for winter and as they are re-usable they will last throughout your holiday.
• Snow makes for a perfect pitch for your tent. By walking up and down you can compact the snow which makes it far safer and comfier to sleep on than the standard lumpy grass pitch and by marking pegs with bright cord you will never lose them in the snow.
• Before travelling check local indoor activities near your camp if you want to get out of the cold and always remember to pack plenty of games.

Nobody likes to hold the queue up on busy roads so a top tip to avoid this is keep a note in your front window of the weight, height and width in metric and imperial of your caravan or motorhome. Then the next time you meet a low bridge or tiny road you know whether you can go ahead. No problems.

For more towing tips have a look at our How To Guides.

They all have been training so hard over the last few weeks and deserve a well good pat on the back. Waudby's & Wandahome staff are proud of supporting major charities, after Wandahome also raised £1800 for cancer research this year at The National Caravan and Boat show 2009.

Anyone starting either Caravanning or Motorhoming obviously need 1 or 2 items to start off with. Waudby's have put together a selection of items taken from our Web Site, that is deemed essential when starting out!

• Most spares can be found online http://www.waudbys.co.uk/products/spares11.html but if you'd like further technical help why not contact one of our specialist spares staff, Robert or Stuart on 01430 422523

• If your water system hasn't been used over winter its a good idea to give it a flush out with some Puriclean http://www.waudbys.co.uk/products/details/17154.html

• Make sure you have enough gas in your bottle, We're unable to courier gas out but Calor Gas, Calor Gas Light and Camping Gaz can be collected from our South Cave store.

• Make sure any club memberships are still in date or join for the first time. New membership packs for both The Caravan Club and The Camping and Caravanning Club can be purchased at the following links http://www.waudbys.co.uk/products/details/78.html  http://www.waudbys.co.uk/products/details/73.html

• If you don't want to be a club member why not treat yourself to the latest site books, Alan Rogers site guides have sites all over Europe! http://www.waudbys.co.uk/products/guides.html
