Well I cant wait unitl the weekend.  We picked our new van up at the weekend.  Its a Swift Fairway 620 and its lovely.   As some probably know Fairway are the brand of Broad land leisure which are about a mile from our house in Alcester, Warks.  We traded our Sprite Major 6 in and they gave us a good trade in for it.   Theyve already got in up for sale.   Everything is packed, Ive just got to go up to storage to make the fixed bed up and put my new towels in the bathrooms.

We are going to a Landrover rally at Long Marston near Stratford upon Avon, the under 18s are running it.

Julie

We were at Broad lane in Kenilworth on Sunday, and our favourite van was the Swift Fairway 620. It looks great - really open & spacious, good sized seats at the front & a lovely bathroom. We are pondering whether or not we should take the plunge! Hope you really enjoy your new van - let us know how you get on with it. Can I ask what you are going to use to tow it? We are feeling a bit nervous about towing & manouvering a large twin axle.

Hi

No not elmdale but a storage site above dodwell park near bidford on avon.

We tow with a Landrover Discovery, it tows like a dream.  In fact when we had the sprite major 6 it bobbed around at the back!!!!

We had a mover put on it, so we could get it into storage place easy but when we put it back on saturday, other half put it in first time!!!

Will let you know how we get on

Julie x
