Thanks a lot for the info The Clampits much appreciated.

Thank you for the information Dick B much appreciated.

Great Deneb that sounds like the setup I would like.!

Thank you Steve. I must admit I find all things tech related above me so thanks for the advise,

Many thanks @DickB This is all great information which is useful to me and the community at large.👍

Thank you very much Deneb for such good infomation. Much appreciated.

Hi everyone Does anyone use the Falcon Outdoor router or know about it. I am looking to use my laptop and mobile phones in the UK while campervanning. Also can you recommend a Network that would suit light internet usage? Many thanks Nomad 8

More sound advice. Thank you Bas. I have joined one of the big two to satisfy the van insurers and after 6 months intend to join the other one. As you say I will be better placed to decide on " should I stay or should I go " as the song goes. Thanks for your help.

Nicely balanced advice Brian. I will try and take it all on board as my learning curve. Many thanks.

Thank you very much Davy. Happy camping to you as well.

I think I will go for C&CC as well as I am in the same age group as yourselves. Might as well benefit from the grey hair!

A telephone call to Camping and Caravanning Club . They are happy to welcome me to their sites as long as the conversion is properly and professionally done. What they don't want are people driving up in any old van and wanting to sleep in the back. I copied and pasted this next bit from the Camping and Motorhome Clubs' site: The Camping and Motorhome Club welcomes caravanners, motorhomers, campers, campervanners, trailer-tenters, and anyone else, regardless of whether you own, hire, or borrow.

Common sense prevails. Thanks malc d I will do that. Still I am glad I got all this feedback first. Many thanks to all and yourself.

Thanks Simians. Does this attitude still prevail ? Especially in regards to the big two CCC and CMC as i wish to join one of them.

Thanks Davy That is all useful information. I appreciate you taking the time. I am having the Transporter converted by professional converters (8 Ball Conversions). Is that still classed as a self-build?

thanks again Derek what a pity that these attitudes exist in our society. We should never be judged by the size of our--------------------------van!

That's great info Globebuster 1 i've taken out campervan insurance which is subject to me joining either CCC or CMC as the quote involves a members discount but sure will into the above.

Thanks Keith. No I'm getting it converted by 8 Ball Converters near Hull. I had to find a suitable base VW transporter using VW approved used vans.

many thanks Derek. Sure is a lot to think about but hey ho life is an adventure!

Thank you Derek for directing my enquiry to the right source. I was starting to think I would get no replies. Seems like C C C and C M C are both used and liked for different reasons and some join both. Not sure if this is the right way to reply ( you can probably tell I am a Newbie)

Hi fellow travellers. I have just purchased a panel van with the intention of getting it converted to a campervan. Please could you help me in choosing the best camping and caravanning organization to join here in the UK and point out the pros and cons. Thanking you in anticipation.
