George, there is a sliding door by the cupboard/divider and the TV swivels so the kids can watch DVDs with the adults sitting in the dining/bedroom area and then the adults can watch it when the kids are asleep. You can see the door in the picture below and there is a sliding door below the TV shelf.

What a nightmare, we own the exact same caravan and we would all be gutted if it was taken. I really hope the police can find it, it makes me so angry that some people come and help them self! I will get hubby on to even more security on ours now but I do think if someone is determined enough they will get it regardless

So sorry to hear your news, thieving b******s. Reading your post has jogged a memory for me? I don't want to build your hopes up, but this morining while driving home from work, night shift, I was travelling from Farnham to Portsmouth and saw a caravan on tow. Nothing new their, but what i did notice that from behind i thought it was a motorhome. I then realised it was a caravan being towed be a large white vehicle. Was it the ladder on the back of the van that made me think this way? Also it had no number plate on the van, but in the rear window. Didn't recognise the make of van for some reason, maybe my distance to the caravan, maybe it wasn't a common make?

Like i said it's only a hunch, but looking at Fleets location to my workplace just made me think. I also suppose that if you have to transport a stolan van it would be very early in the morning at the weekend. 6:30-07:00am was the time i would have seen this, but for the life of my i can't remember if it was on the way to the A3 towards Borden or actually on the A3? I'm sure i didn't pass it.

Like i said I don't want to build your hopes up, but if you think it's worth looking into please let me know.

Regards Paul

Paul, thank you very much!!! I will pass this info onto the police. That would make sense as I picked it up from a secure compound in Bordon and drove back to fleet through Farnham. My hunch is, somebody spotted me driving and followed me home as they fancied the caravan. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack! Whoever stole it has probably been reading the posts on here. If you have, I hope you feel good that our 3 yr old has been in bits about it ever since it was stolen over a week ago!! She has even come out in a rash on her face brought on by emotional stress, which we think is called hives. Just give us the girls clothes and favourite toys back if there is an ounce of decency somewhere in the depths of your conscience.

For those that are interested, we are now spending our first night in our new caravan after the sad loss. The insurance company with through the caravan club were excellent, settling very quickly. They even wavered the £150 excess fee as we under insured ourselves by approx 3K :-(
We have bought a Bailey Bretagne Series 7. so far, very impressed, although had to ask another caravaner for help as could not work out electric supply!!

unfortunately Hobbies are a big favourite with our 'Gypsy Travelling Friends 'who dont always like to pay for what they want my first job would have been to scour the area for makeshift gypsy camps with camera and mobile phone ready to phone police, that said im not tarring all gypsies with the same brush but they dont help themselves by not turning in the scumbag ones

A year or 2 ago, a guy recorded his hunt for his stolen caravan in this forum. He tracked it through various traveller's sites, with help from the decent members of that community, and eventually recovered it with I think no damage!

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure!
