Sennen who cannot spell and this site does not have spell check
Thanks very much for that Sennen. I am looking forward to the info from Iain on his return. And thanks Tel567 for joining in. We seem to be in a very select group us Heralders. Given that all of us seem to love our vans so much, I wonder why there are so few of us. I think it was a well kept secret how good Heralds were.
Have a good Easter. We will be away til next week in Scotland. In the Herald of course.
Yes our herald emblem has a rear end bathroom and the L shaped lounge and the central dinette.It is our first caravan and we are really pleased with it.
HI I'm new, just registered! I have a Herald Clermont 490/4L which I bought on impluse after looking at statics last october! The dealer I got my van off said it was made by a company called Herald who were then then taken over by Explorer group. It was a limited edition and mine is immaculate. My only problem was the truma water filter system as I cant get the truma filters any more but I will over come that this season with an in-line filter or something. also i couldn't get a market value for insurance purposes the caravan club couldn't find it listed on their lists, and neither does it appear in the glasses guide (or whatever the caravan equivalent is!) that all could be good news, its nice to have something a bit different! My final issue is with weight. stupidly in my fit of impluse buying i neglected to consider my towing vehicle capacity and am struggling to work out whether my 2.0L petrol Mondeo will pull this van. (No I'm not blonde!) anyway happy vanning! will wave to all Herald owners!!
Hi, I'm a newbie, I also have a Herald 490/4L, bought it last month. Looked everywhere for info about it but not much luck. love the van and I think it is got everything in it. The only thing missing is the manual, if anyone has a scan of the manual and could send it to me I would be very grateful. I'm also a newbie in the caravaning scene, so trying to learn by trial and error about my van. Will wave to all Herald Owners on the way to Wales. Thank you
Just to add I have a Herald Clermont 590/5 - double bed and bunk one end and double the other end. great van, but like you say no other info about these vans
