Hi John, Yes, when we first went for the FC, it was a case of remembering the fun we had had with our original Raclette TT and now that we were getting on a bit, the luxury of an onboard toilet. full cooker and a hot water tank, to name a few bits was a dream come true.

Unfortunately the term "getting on a bit" comes with hidden problems, IE health, or the lack of it and a large FC, while a doddle to erect and dismantle if I was 10 or 20 years younger, is just too much for us now that I have so many bits of titanium and ceramics that I no longer go for a health check but more of an MOT.

The Sprintaway, while a great concept proved to be more concept than build quality. 
In the end we lost over £7000 in the 3 years we had it and I gather from speaking to others that we were lucky only to lose that.

I don't think there will ever be an affordable camping unit that will incorporate the best of all types of camping although in my opinion, the 5th wheeler comes closest. However until they are manufactured at a sensible price, they will remain the few on the ground and only affordable by Lottery Winners.

Yes Finley, we have bought a Bailey Ranger 470/4.

Another topic on UKCS put me onto Vaping with E-Cigs instead of smoking.
That was just over a year ago and the money we saved by me vaping instead of smoking has paid for the caravan.
