The wait is a killer!


We "went for a look" last Jan and ended up ordering a twin that arrived in April - and that was long enough.

We don’t do winter caravaning any more , the current van is now mothballed for the winter. What will be a pain is if there is a delay in build date. The last 2 vans have been handed over on mother’s day , so mid March suits me , weather might be a bit better then too. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!
