We have just become the proud owners of a Fleurette Tamaris pop up caravan, in immaculate condition. Any tips from previous or current owners would be greatly appreciated. We have to equip her from the floor up, just like furnishing and equiping a new home, so exciting, quite daunting as  we dont want to buy anything  we  may not need, all our previous camping stuff got disposed of when our camper van died.

So New Forest here we come next week for a whole five nights.

Hi Angela,

Yes we did buy our Fleurette at Campers and Leisure at Ringwood, the upholstery is multi coloured blue/pink/beige, and the door is on nearside, which side is wrong side?. Also inside the cupboard on the immediate left are phone numbers and an address, it would be lovely to find the previous owners, to compliment them on the way the caravan has been looked after. Thank you for replying.

very best regards Patricia

Hi Angela,

It sounds as tho your layout is the same as ours, we have not got a loo inside as I prefer to have food preparation space.but we have a double toilet tent, we have just come back from our first trip to the new forest the caravan was lovely and warm and comfy, I see you live in Ealing, well I used to live in Perivale in the road (Rydal Crescent) next to the Hoover Building. I was born at West Middlesex Hospital and lived in Perivale up to mid 1960, then moved to Harrow, eventually ending up in Surrey, nr Guildford.

We will be off again to the new forest for the last week in sept, looking forward to it, I was thinking of a name for our fleurette but cant make up my mind. Did you have a name for yours?  (be nice). I would like to compare notes with you on what camping sites you have stayed on, at the moment we have stayed at Denny Wood, and about 4 years ago when we had our camper van we stayed a Setthorns, but we were not too impressed back then, but we love Denny Wood. Also we hope to use the caravan during the winter months, around the south/east/west of england, we have joined the CCC, so there are lots of sites to look into. Sorry to ramble on I will sign off now.

very best regards
