Just a little niggle but whenever I book a site I am asked to select the vehicle, mine being a Motorhome but the selection choice seems to default to caravan.

Thats not a problem as I just click the stored motorhome details & Roberts yer Uncle but then a red message pops up saying I have changed  my outit profiles and should update it.

I have done this several times  even Deleted User info and reentered it but to no avail. Anyone on IT tell me what to do?

Another fault is the requirement to put in a number for my towcar. I don't have a towcar or even a towed car  or a toad car.  Another example of a caravan-centric organisation ??

Does it not mean the registration number regardless of if it's a tug that may be tugging a caravan, a trailer, another vehicle, a boat, a horsebox, a jet ski, or tugging nada.

What would you put if you were riding a motorbike or bicycle with a tent as your accomodation?

Rare sense has to be applied. Tongue Out

You are guessing that when someone designed this particular funcionality on the website they identified in their minds that the expression "towcar"  would be understood to mean and/or include "motorhome"

I am guessing that when that person designed this functionality they were focussing on caravans and didn't think about motorhomes. Unless the web designers and/or programmer posts here to identify their logic neither of us will know.

My point however is that I shouldn't have to guess or speculate what information is needed but rather that the opportunity should be taken to correct this functionality. 

Meantime I enter the number as "NO TOWCAR"

I suggest you are either intellectually challenged, pedantic or downright argumentative Tongue Out If you expect web developers to think beyond what they are instructed to do and actually know the practical application of their efforts in the ether of IT, you are deluding yourself.

I refer to my comment of rare sense, it's not very common Tongue Out

It is clear the identifying registration number of the vehicle, be it towing or otherwise, arriving at the site is the information required. 

How would you fare on a ferry where number plate recognition is employed??
