Hi we're off to the same show to try to get a good deal, our local dealer is in Kenilworth, Broadlane they have some great deals on 2017 stock, check them out, yes it's a days drive, but you could always stay in Stratford, Kenilworth, and have a break, let me know what you do.

We went to knowpark yesterday and looked at the coachman vision 580, we like the layout, diner up front with the lounge and kitchen
That's they way it was when I was a kid
Bunks n bathroom at the back
Also went to Perth to look at the 2017 baileys
Quite a few still to see, looking forward to the show
Most seem to offer a ten year gaurentee against water ingress
Thanks for the tips - all
George

we bought our Elddis at Eglington caravans in Irvine and have been getting our van serviced there since 2009. We live in PAISLEY so not that near but service a good bit cheaper than nearest so well worth the extra journey. No waiting lists for service work. Mainly elddis stockists but we didn't wait too long for our new van as they keep some in stock.We were new to caravaning and they were very helpful explaining things to us. They also have quite a large shop selling accessories.

Hi Steve, I had crossed them off because we have two young boys and they love bunk beds. Don't think they do much with bunks.(with the mid range) I'll have another look. Also just have an SD4 LR FREELANDER diesel auto. Which can pull most vans we like but over 1700 is getting a bit heavy for the car, we bought the car first knowing that it would give us a limitation, one we are happy with. Thanks for the tip, will look again
George

Thanks Steve its on the list, current front runner is the coachman 580, ticks all the boxes, might change once we have had a look at them all. you know how kitchen showrooms don't usually have prices on the displays, shirley always walks over to the most expensive range, its like a 6th sense,

George, take a little peek at the Swift Challenger 590 or the Sprite Freedom 6. Both appear to have the layout you're looking for.
