Hi,

We are a family of 5 and just about to purchase an Abbey Aventura 330 at approx 7.2m long.

Now i believe that is pretty common size now. First place we try and book make a play on the size of the van, followed up by the place i wanted to store it having no space for it.

Am i letting myself in for problems or is this just an unfortunate start .

I think the storage place were put off by me explaining i am new to the whole adventure , they then asked if i had a motor mover, when i said no they then informed that they had no space although the website states 3 available.

All help appreciated.

Mick

I has a similar problem with storage, many do "pack them in" and the advertised spaces may have only taken a small van or boat.

With respect to site pitches, my van is nearly 8m and have never failed to get a pitch, although I always mention the size where pitches are allocated for you. Have only seen I site that would not take van of my size and a couple stating "no twin axle vans" but never wanted to stay on those sites in any case! Have paid extra for a large pitch in one case.

I thinks thats around the same size as mine, only one has the size been a bit iffy, we stayed on a Haven site once and i opted for a standard pitch whilst they tried to sell me a super bigger one, I soon knew why my back end was hanging over into the pitch behind and my A frame was in the rd & it was bloody tight getting it onto the pitch.
