if its a new van then CCLUB do a new for old for 10 years,.super 5 cs.we have this.£357 is good for a new one.

so water containers, hitch lock and wheel clamp, mirrors and a jack.

oh and some headache tablets.

is this all we need to go caravanning or is there something missing?

Michael The quote for the van was just standard 5 c in BL9 post code but will phone them, the powrtouch is there any model i should be looking at?

A very big thank you to you all for your help  :)

I would say welcome to the world of caravans but i'm afraid i can't do that as you have ordered the very caravan i want and i am too jealous

As soon as we can we will order our caravan and as we are concerned about any warrenty issue's we have asked the dealer how much it would cost for them to fit it.  He said we would need a heavy duty one as the GT60 has shock absorbers and quoted £990 inc VAT to fit it.  That seems a fair price to me and as the dealer has fitted it if we have any problems we only have the one place to go back to.

Just got to ask did you see the Ranger last year?  We fell in love with it then but am so glad we didn't get it then as the GT60 ticks every box we have.  Did you see that it has a tv aerial in the kids bedroom?  And the dealer says that there is an extra piece of wood on the wooden bedroom wall so that you can fix the tv bracket onto it.  I could go on for days talking about it lol.

So when do you pick it up?

Hi Jeannie

I haven't notice the tv aerial in the kids room or the extra bit of wood.

i haven't thought about the warrenty issue concerning fitting a mover i will get onto Bailey though to find out more.

To be honest i couldn't even find the extra plug socket when we looked at the GT 60 we only looked at it once and that was on a special trip out of the way and with the kids in toe (are we there yet )

We have looked at the normal ranger in more detail but read about the Gt 60 in the c-club mag.

Ordered it today over the phone after a long discusion last week at the dealer's and many phone calls to get the px price i wanted for the m-home but i belive the date for delivery will be week 26,  22 june onwards acording to Bailey.

Cant wait, but will miss the m-home used to be my parents van from new.

call powrtch and speak to them direct they will help you..

heres there home page they will arrange fitting etc at your home and advise you as to which of there products is best suite to your van and you.

We are in the similar position to you Niall24. We ordered our GT60 540 about a month ago and its got a build date of this week (Yippee). So far i've got a 12n +12s converter for the towbar and a suncamp ultima 390 porch awning and thats it. We found a storage place at the weekend so that bits sorted, But need to sort water/waster, Hitchlock, Wheel lock (considering a Full Stop Excalibur Receiver Wheel Clamp), gas. Now considering having a motor mover. Dealer has quoted £995 for a Reich Move control so i'm looking at orther alternatives such as Rhynomover.

Also the socket for the tv near the floor on the side of the bench next to the door. Never noticed the extra piece of wood.

Thanks every one for your help.

Just been told by C-club insurance if i get an aklo??? wheel clamp £200ish i will get 10% discount because the clamp goes through the wheel and chasis of the van so i won't need a hitch lock..

thanks Niall

Thats why i've been looking at the Full stop excaliber. This is the info from one website

Integrated security to fit the latest Al-Ko and BPW chassis

The Excalibur screws straight into the receiver section provided, avoiding the need for accurate wheel alignment or the need to jack up your wheel.  Fast and very effective to use, it also comes with Sold Secure Gold accreditation, giving you the ultimate peace of mind.

Sold Secure Gold !!!!!!!

Doesn't give me peace of mind I am afraid. More a con trick to get us to buy the product.

My head hurts i WANT my M-home back

its easier
