Hi paulbambi..... Yes,it is a bit unique !   You would be surprised where you can get a full sized artic ! And yes I do have a class 1 licence. That's what I do for a living...HGV 1 driver.

By the way, are their any publications that list campsites (especialy for big motorhomes) ??




The huntsman and hounds in Essex big field and they had a big motor home on there when we were there, standard gate to go through though but he managed ok...

Go girl

  O.K. That's done it !!!  

  I've sent an e-mail to both the C.C & the C&C.C...  Given them full details of my rig... ...  Asked them if the can list the sites that are capable of taking it !

 When they get up off the floor,we'll see just how good / serious they are,huh ??

Drighlington,we could do with some excitement around here!

Could do with you turning up on the by-pass the next time the gypo's organise a trotting race,like to see the buggers try and stop that coming through

Good Luck Jayen. We'd have a fair few kitchens posted on freecycle recently so you could keep an eye on there. Are you going to fit a full size bath? You have the space...

My guess is £1200.

   Haven't got a unit yet.... I'm on the lookout for something suitable.  Ideally,I want a 6x2 twin steer unit ,on air,350 bhp or above.

You dont really need a 6 legger do you?--you wont be anywhere near 40 tonnes, let alone 44----you could get an old ex Tesco non-sleeper unit for a few grand--but I'm guessing you will be wanting a Daf superspace or Scanny topline with a load of spotlights across the roof----yood have a guest room as well, then--

How about a Foden 6 x 4 with cross locks, you would not need to worry about wet fields and getting stuck, thats why so many Showmen have them, also people doing Agricultural shows with display units.

You often see them in Truck Trader for only a couple grand-80s-early 90s--good idea as they are lightweight double drives rated for 45 tonnes not heavy haulage units--

  The general idea with the tractor unit is that if I get the right spec,it would also double as a 'work' unit,too (If I ever decided to go back to being an owner driver !).  Good  point about the 6x4 Foden tho'.! .... Hmmm...

  And no ,I'm not into all that 'lights everywhere and bling' stuff !  The money's better spent where it's more practical.....
