If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

If we all had the same tastes and size van it would be boring it's great to see all the different sizes and inside layouts etc.

We have our 29yr old Avondale Wren and think she is fantastic. Been out twice in her only had it 3 weeks. Planning a week away in it soon to the cotswolds can't wait.

She has everything WE want and loads of character and in great nick for her age(unlike her owner) Hubby has been in his element doing odd jobs on her. It has given us a whole new interest and way of life and we love it.

Looking forward to meting some of you.

Couldn't agree more Cariad, we have every thing we want in our van too, and it has a character of its own too!

Small and compact is sometimes more spacious than you think! (-;

Hi there

We have an old 4 berth 1986 Adria Tourer and she is only 12 feet ! Cheap and cheerful, seats recovered new carpet and curtains perfect !

We also get strange looks, felt really uncomfortable at first, but now we don't bother.

Had some great weekends away and we love it.

So enjoy

Angela

Strange looks are usually to do with the fact that folks are jealous that you're van has lasted so long, well thats my opinion anyway! (-;

we have a large twin axle as there are 5 of us, 2 dogs and a cat and the internal space we have means that if the weather is so bad that we can't have an awning up we still have room to move around and not get in each others way. It was also bought with cash so no hp for us, same for the 4x4 we use to pull it. As has been said before we all have what suits us and not what suits other people. We're already planning on what van to get when the kids stop coming with us and it'll be another twin axle about an inch smaller than the one we have now
