And don't forget to have a great time in your new 'van if you get it.

Can't help but ask what happens if you don't like it?  Will you turn around and go back for the old one?

we arent going up there to see if we like it, we already have seen plenty of them, its a case of going to make sure that everything works and is all there and correct etc etc, and hand the cash over, that said, at the end of the day we still have our old one, and would fly back to get that, mind you at the moment in its current state of everything out the lockers and all bagged up, we look like we just been burgled actually it would take ages for me to sort it all out again, just to be able to make the bed up!

 

the guy seems very genuine and the pictures of what we are getting are very good and clear or we wouldnt have done things this way

as for Alan, cake card!!!!! dont push your flamming luck mate, i might have a bit of paper in my bag to write something on and a few crumbs in there too, nothings to good for you see how i push the boat out!!!

that is still a slight possibilty! but i dont see it really happening from the way the guy is puttinghimself out to get the van ready for us in time to get back to the site and still have enough time to check the van over properly. at least im not fussing over if the layout is the right one and i know what should be in there and where it is, it just needs to be seen working thats all

I got one off tinternet like that, couple where dead genuine, etc etc. picked the van up and it was chucking it down, so didnt have time to check a few things over.

word is "SHAFTED" was told new battery, yup about 15 yrs previous, and charger did not work.   well I picked up in rush. hope it doesnt happen to u. good luck

well lets just say im not new to any of this and seeing as i bought a van the same way last time and that was fine etc etc and i can trust my own judgement and i will walk away if anything isnt right at all, i cant see it being a problem, also im not going alone my husband is there too, and he is very aware of what to look for, i am sure that we will find out if there is anything wrong in the 2 hrs or so that we have to lok it over.

well good morning to you all after our first night away in the new caravan, as hoped for everything went well and was exactly as described,

the van tows well and although we are very aware of its length the extra weight didnt make itself felt at all and even feels like its lighter to tow than the compass we had before, managed to get the car unpacked and the essential stuff in for now, can beleive how much storage we have, we are never going to  fill this up!!!!!

hubby is laid in bed reading the owners book at the mo and its time for another coffee!!!!

bye for now

Maybe you could get some to fill up all that unused storage space ?! 17 Glad you're pleased with your van - are you giving it a name or are you not as barmy as us ?
