Now going to find magazine and look lol.

I've been rumbled!

Yes it was me, Akthough slightly edited and out of date as we have changed the van since again LOL

I was amazed they printed it, got very excited!

I will have to read that - i only usually look at the pictures!!!!

Regards

Andy

We thought it might be you too!

LOL Mzzy, No I didn't, you'd have thought we would have at least got a sticker for the van! Not that OH will allow me to put stickers on the windows just yet!

Hows your van hunting going?

I am sure once the right van comes up you'll know, Nedra is not overly keen on tent camping but she goes along with it just to humour me sometimes, although we use the van more often than not, I keep the trailer packed ready to go just in case!

New van is great, we tried it last weekend but due to it being a lovely sunny time we didn't spend much time in it, Only slept in it really.  Off to devon friday for 9 days to a non facility (only ehu) site so will try everything out then.

I am sure once I have cooked (my fave hobby)  a complete meal in it, it will feel like ours, but only once I have tested out the oven!

Hope you have a lovely time in France, we we're going to take our tent over this year but finances wouldn't allow, so we are hopefully going next year

If you have the spinflow oven watch the knobs on the front as they can get very hot, you need to pull out the deflector (if you can find it!) but ours still get so hot need oven glove.

We have also bought an extra oevn shelf for ours so we can cook more together.

We are raising it with the manufacturer.

Thanks J,

I will look for the deflector, I did think that may be an issue the other day, I already had an extra extendable shelf from our old van so cleaned it up shiny and put that in at the weekend,

Great minds think alike!

If you raise it with Spinflo good luck, the company I work for supply them with sealant and they are some of the rudest most ignorant customers we have!

Hi Mzzy,

We sold it privately free through bargain pages, It sold within 2 weeks of adds being put on there, but that was about 5 years ago.

Although we actually made money on the freedom, Paid £750 for it with awning sold it for £900 after 2 years of use!

Although ebay is probably your best bet now, any type of vans are going for crazy prices at the moment and I think you should be able to sell yours dead easy/

Have you tried ringing west midlands caravans? They bought our last van off us and gave us a good price, I know they are desperate for them at the moment, There number is 01676 541515
