We're really looking forward to our first full season in Wobbly Bob, our 2005 Gobur Carousel Clubman. We already have trips to Marshland Alpacas, York Caravan Park, Old Oaks and New Lodge Farm booked.

I did a search on here but all the posts were quite old so I was just wondering if there are many Gobur owners on here.

Yes we're really impressed. Did a couple of weekends at the end of last season. We'd bought a Comanche Montana the previous year to enable us to get away for more weekends, I'd never heard of the Gobur and once I'd seen them i wanted one!

Hi we are new to the site and have just bought our first caravan at the grand old age of 68 and it is a Gobur 10-2T and our first trip away will be in a couple of weeks , so interested to have found other Gobur owners , how have you found the vans and hopefully we will be able to update our first time in a couple of weeks time.

I believe there is a Gobur owners club which organises rallies etc where loads turn up.

Dead jealous of all you Gobur owners! I had one some years ago but had to sell it do to financial woes. Wonderful 'vans! I have a Freedom now but miss all the space in the Gobur, with full head height throughout the unit. I keep bumping my head on the overhead lockers in the Freedom...

Good luck for many happy outings in your Wobbly Bob, TraceyD

We love our gobur, easy storing/towing,the only downsides in my opinion is (a) it’s a bit of a faf if you do a few days at one site and then a few days at several more sites as you have to take down cupboards and put on the floor a certain way, then put them up again at the next sit, not insurmountable just a faf and you do need an awning for additional storage etc but on the whole they are a well thought out design

Would agree kpnuts81, which is why, when I found myself just about able to get back to caravanning (having done tents and trailer tents over the past few years) I went for the Freedom, as the faff is absolutely minimal. Takes just a few minutes on arriving on a site, to get set up and make a cuppa! I don't bother with an awning, again, reducing faff time! I can manage in the Freedom without one, as it's just me and a stir-fry-crazy Cockerpoo.

However every time I bump my head on one of the overhead lockers I cuss myself for not getting a Gobur instead!

I've only got a small car so the Gobur would have been a better choice for towing: much less wind resistance, and they are such well-built caravans.

Brother-in-law had one. His only problem seemed to be that you couldn't pull into a layby to use the toilet.
