Very nice but pictures show it without a wheel clamp. Hopefully one is fitted, but not shown.
Thanks and yes we have an Al-Ko wheel lock on the other side of the van. Its also alarmed, micro-dotted, hitch locked and electronic VIN tag. However even with all this I doubt it would stop a determined thief. I've seen some terrifying clips on utube of CCTV footage where they steal caravans from the owners property in less that 10mins :(
Thanks guys, we've just got back after a lovely weekend away in the van. I'd highly recommend to anyone the Sherwood Forest Holiday Park. Very friendly, spacious pitches and everyone on there is helpful and considerate. Great dog walks and wonderful views along the river bank and fishing lake walking paths.
As for the van we had no hickups or problems. Everything worked as it should. There are a few minor modification my husband wants to make to the van such as hiding the plethora of power cables for the tv, laptop and other bits but apart from that we're very happy.
Oh and one thing we did do is remove the chest of draws with the sliding table from the front of the van and used to optional extra cushions the seller gave us. This made up an extremely large and spacious bed as well as a U shaped seating area when the bed was packed away. We prefer this setup so will be forgoing the extra storage space in favour of more seating and a larger bed.
We're booked to go away again for 10 days in August to Lickpenny near Tansley in the Peak District. Another fantastic site and very close to many site seeing attractions such as Matlock Bath and Lea Gardens. Can't wait.
We might sneak another weekend away nearby before then though lol.
