A Piper 1400 5 Berth.

My father went and looked at it then came round past my work and told me it was the best van he had seen in ages. Bought it for £500 and sold it 3 years later for £400

Having been tenters and then trailer tenters we finally decided to go the whole hog and buy a van.  We bought a 2003 Swift Conqueror 640 Sal on 26th April, and went away on the 28th.  A good job we went away will friends who have owned caravans for years.  We went to the truck fest in Peterborough so we had to take the jenny.

Had a few teething problems, but enjoyed it so much we are looking for somewhere for this coming weekend.  My hubby works every other weekend otherwise we would hardly be at home!

From a frame tent to a Conway trailer tent,we saw a 1979 Monza 1600 in 1989 bought it for £1500 no mains electrics, gas lamp, 12volt light, 2 gas burner stove, foot pump for water,nylon upholstory,no shower,portapotti, oh also plastic windows.

We loved the Monza  5 vans later and kids grownup a new Bailey Senator Louisana twin axle.

Hi, mine was a  French folding caravan called a Sterckeman Autopli 330t which i bought from challenger 72 (Hi steve).wife loved it and i to was gutted to have had to sell it to upgrade.

I really do miss that little van.
