Diabetes Day

Ed's annual health check sparks some inspiration for his ‘Your Motorhome’ column. Stars Christopher Douglas. From 2017.

As the new columnist for 'Your Motorhome' magazine, Ed is enjoying a comfortable life on the open road searching out top tips for mobile homeowners.

He's finding inspiration at every turn and, in particular, at car parks - namely the hospital car park where he has to attend his diabetes clinic, and subsequently the swimming pool car park to resume a swim regime when challenged about his health by the hospital.

Will his tip of letting down one's tyres to get under car park height barriers prove a hit with the readers?
