Bought ours from there, and they were very good. Aftersales service was excellent.

i have just looked at this as I was thinkingg of a pop up but by far the most luxurious is the new Conway Convertaible caravans. Pretty much the same half caravan half tent! Nothing really new unless I have missed something?!!

I love my little Kip van. No bathroom though, although I have a movelite awning which houses luggable loo and shower 'room!

We have a Trigano Rubis 310 2005 model, we bought it at a year old and 2 weeks use. Great little van but I don't rate Trigano as a company!

The tyres fitted were rated at a lower max pressure than the recommended pressure, the mains input connected the wrong way round, the battery charger was very poor quality and cooked the battery to death in 16 months, no proper water drainage was fitted, the waste from washroom and kitchen just ran out of pipes underneath with no way of catching it. Also, if anyone less that 5' sat on the loo they had to contort themselves and have their knees almost out of the door.

Despite all this we like the van, it fits down our drive and right out of the way, it's very nice to tow at almost any speed, we get 45-48 mpg with our Octavia tdi estate.

All the faults are now sorted (apart from the fridge which was fitted illegally and vents into the van). If anyone wants further info go to http://trigano-rubis-pop-tops.wetpaint.com/
