Hi again to you both. Jan and I were wondering how you got on with your Randger 575 and if you found any probs with it?

Regards to you from Dave & Jan

Hi,

We have been away in it 3 times in the few weeks since we bought it.  One of these we used the awning which we found quite easy to put up - at least as long as Jen sorted out the higher parts as I tend to be a tad vertically challenged.

The only minor problem we found was the 'hook' on the front bed which I had to tighten otherwise it came loose.

The camper itself is brilliant, extremely warm and very easy to erect quickly.  Our major issue at the moment is withdrawal symptoms from not being able to use it until after Christmas (due to other commitments).  Have booked a fortnight in Cardigan Bay at Easter but will definitely go away a couple of times before then. 

Welllllllllllllllll I know what you mean by having a partner who is vertically challenged cos poor Jan's got that problem.  I have to get the awning up myself which with planing I can just about manage but tis not easy.  We've been away only once to Wales when we were hit by RAIN RAIN RAIN and BIGGGGGGGG WINDS but the Trigano weathered it all with no probs.  Oh we did get a Citroen Picaso to pull it with so all in all its £12000 we had to part with (sob sob and nashing of hands) . We must be daft.  Mind you we are looking forward to using it in sunshine next year.  As for your getting away at easter and a couple of times before then......... god your keen har har har.

The only prob we had was a blocked sub sink under the main sink which flooded the floor but it all dried out ok..  Anyway, take care and let us know how you get on. Perhaps we'll bump into you (not literally) sometime.  Sincere regards from myself and the Boss. 

Hi Dave & Jan,  Great to hear from you again.

We've used it twice already this year. Went locally to Leek and found it copuld withstand snow and a large quantity of ice lying on the roof (that was the Feb half-term week).

At Easter we had a fortnight at Cardigan Bay - this was really our first real trial to see how we coped and it was brilliant. It withstood some fairly strong winds at the start but all in all everything was brilliant.  Jen has managed to sort out her packing system properly.

We are now looking to invest in a bedroom annexe ready for the next main holiday at Llanstumdynwy (or something like that) near Criccieth, Wales. That's planned in August.

Sadly our plans to go to West Runton have had to be shelved, as I work as a trainer at the local hospital and there is a major new computer system coming in, I have had my holidays cancelled for the end of May when we planned to go. Now its another local trip to Leek where I can get in to work easily. Will still get the evenings round the barby tho.  Other than that a number of weekends away will be great.

Well that's our current plans how about you.  Been out in it yet? And where else do you have planned?

Mike & Jen

hi we have just bought a camplet gt it is our first tt but i am looking for a spear wheel any idears thanks jeff & chris

Sorry Jeff and Chris can't help you.  There is a wanted section on this site if you post there maybe you will get some help.  Also post a message under your own title and probably more people will read it than in this thread.

Everyone is great on this site and someone should be able to assist.

Otherwise most camping dealers would be more than happy to advise you on this or maybe try someone like towsure?

Welcome to the site and sorry I can't help this time.

Just a quick note to mike & jen

Welllllll your lucky to have used your outfit again so quickly.  As a nurse I get 8 weeks holidays a year but can't actually plan ahead too far but hope to get away early June for a few days so fingers crossed the sun shines and the Citroen Picaso pulls the Trigano OK.  Oh shame about cancelling your Runton trip as its not far from us here in Gt Yarmouth. But good luck and let us know how you get on from time to time. Sincere regards from the boss and me.
