Hi Mrs W
3 tips from me
1. Get the dealer to give you a comprehensive run through, prove everthing works, water, toilet, cooker, lights take your time and ask questions.
2. Don't forget to pack a sense of humour, you'll need it at times.
3. Take a notebook to list the things you do forget.

Mrs Woody, Try a dry run putting the awning up away from the view of any body, On site we can all spot a virgin vanner by the all the rows they have , (hold this ,hold that, its your fault, dont speak to me like that, all right do it on your own,) that is the polite version, allow plenty off stopping room when driving and take corners a little wider, I have been vanning for over twenty years, and have today just fitted an alko 3004 stabiliser ,we used to have the blade type

Hi all
Well after 2 months of searching we have finally found our
We are buying a 1999 Swift Archway Barnwell (dealer special) 4 berth - comes with new awning, Al-Ko stabiliser
----------------------------------------------------------
Make sure your tow ball can use the Alko Stabiliser as the standard flange ball wont work. The Alko ball has an extended neck to accommodate the hitch.

I'm just a slave to the outdoor life!!!!!!!
