Hey Manufan
"Hey Oldgeezer, do you rent it out? I have five East Europeans families who are interested. "
No I pack out the van with about 50 every time I return to the UK so that farmers have some cheap labour so they car run around in their RRs

Nicks portable hair dressing salon! :rolllaugh:No point in asking if the van is white too?

Of course its white, unlike the car, with a grey red awning, blue windbreak, yellow storm straps and green gas bottle

if your going to do it, you might as well use all the colours in the rainbow

Gives the old dears something to look at whilst the blue rinse drys

That looks like Troutbeck CC site in the Lakes??

Top spot if it is IMHO

We have just gone for a new Alutech Bailey, as don't want another van with wood in the frame again.

I personally like the 2012 Pegasus and Olympus ranges, but we wanted a little, short van, so ended up with an Orion. Not to all vanners tastes but suits our need.

The Orion gets very good review and I understand the body shell is a new experimental design, a little different to the Pegasus & very very strong material.
I actually saw these before release and saw some impact testing so no more dents for you then !

Bigalf 1961 asked

wich is the best caravan on the market money can buy ?

How much do you want to spend ? this beats camping or a holiday cottage

how? At work
At home

The holiday cottages I have stayed in have always been dusty in places & cleanliness questionable ! mostly on Farms
With your own opulent unadulterated luxury it beats slumming it in a cottage

Hopefully not

Some people hate the shape/build, I think it's a Marmite Design. We have had luxury vans and wanted a small light 4 birth with a few basic mod-cons and the 440-4 suits the 3 of us down to the ground.

Having had larger more luxury vans we wanted to go back to basics, & no chance of damp

Looking at caravans on a wet misty day when its been very damp is uninspiring as the vans haven't had their heating on

Oh & dont forget CG says you have to clean them yourself ! funny that, I have a cleaner called the wife

What an interesting thread
Now that Mr Alf has finished with it, are there any more 'cupboard vanners' that would like to post there vans We want to see them
