pick up our new(second hand)van tomorrow morning.cant wait ill be like a kid at xmas tonight.spent ages searching for a good van and weve looked at loads but this was the best weve seen by a mile.only down side is there isnt an awning as the one they had fell victim to a stron gust of wind but well get one.going to try and book a pitch somewhere for the 21st for 5 days get a holidy before the season ends.

yee-haa

lassie sold our eldiss 5 weeks ago to a first time caravanner who was really happy with it.we viewed nesrly 14 vans before we found our new one.

thanks mzzy

Brilliant news. Re an awning Top Road tourers always have 2nd hand ones for sale, although I've never been so I don't know what they're like. Nows the time to get a bargain tho.

Happy holidays.

Nicky

Congrats on your new van and enjoy.

Sorry to hear about the faults with your new van, I assume you bought it privately. I hope you are a bit of a handyman and able to rectify these faults. I did see another posting from you about the cheeky salesman at Kirkcaldy Caravans.

Re towing in the wind, we were up at Tarland this weekend being the Fife holiday weekend. Luckily we went early on Friday morning and didnt get back until this afternoon, so we didnt have to tow in the wind, but the winds were horendous in Aberdeenshire. We drove back from Elgin on Saturday and it was quite scary. At night the lights kept flickering, we thought there might be a power cut. Happily when we woke yesterday morning there was no wind and it was it was a lovely day.

Hope you manage to get a secondhand awning Fifer 55 was right Top Road Tourers always seem to be advertising them. As for storage, if you are at the same storage as Fifer 55 we are there as well so I will look out for you. We are at the new bit down the bottom.

Good luck with all your repairs/

just back today from our first holiday away in the new van.have to say apart from the awful weather the whole holiday was great.the van is really comfy(our old van was fine but needed an air bed as it was hard and lumpy) and warm and tows superbly well.thats it back in storage now until april although it will go for a service around feb/march time.

roll on apr 2010

Glad you had a good trip , we're off this week for a few days, only our second trip away in the van (or any van come to that) after our test weekend beginning of October - really looking forward to it but hoping it's not windy as will be a 3 hour drive and we only went locally last time !
