You may say that, but it won't stop you getting sued! Or, potentially, someone getting hurt.

But up to you - I don't care either way!

It's on my driveway, doesn't stick out so if any one walks it to it, then they are on my drive. So there is nothing for you to not care about.

Wow MAV, absolutly stunning is it new? It looks like it.

New toys are great are`nt they? Or do we just like the chase and all the research?

So when is the "Van warming Party" then? looks like enough room in there to have a few beers

Looks like you guys are going to have some nice holidays this year. It looks a really big van now i know why you need the extra torque of the "Bluefin" Hope you like the clip of us leaving for our holiday to the "West Country" last year.

Mind you it took us bloody ages to get there

It is a nice spanking new one! Our first two caravans were also new, but the previous model year so we could get a deal. But this time I wanted the latest layout on a brand new van.

We have a few good holidays planned, off to France again like most years. Looking forward to it.

very similar layout I think to my Challenger Sport 636, end beds, bathroom opposite, side dinette, though mine been a twin axle i have a little bit more worktop at the kitchen side

Looks very nice though and i'm sure you'll enjoy many years in it

So, on to what your good at

What mods are you going to do, pimped wheels, spoiler, surround sound speaker system with projection TV in the awning

19's won't fit Nick But I will be re-doing the entertainment system in it. I am going to fit a flat screen TV/DVD combo in the bedroom compartment for little one. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.

if you use satellite TV, like i do, I wired the cables into the caravan via the battery box, replaced the single cable with twin and the SKY+HD box is hidden away with just a HDMI lead coming out and a SKY Magic Eye receiver, all the connectors are push on ones, so theres no unscrewing, if your putting a flat screen in then you could use the RF out for the magic eye too, to run the sky to the other little ones TV, I just take the kids HD box with us and plug it in as we go away, the HDMI lead is also long enough to run the TV in to the awning if i want to watch it out there in the summer Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Like the bunk bed set up at the rear. Great for the kids

Really?! Satellite tv in the caravan?! You on holiday to get away and chill out, not to watch coronation street in hd!

I do see the appeal Nick, maybe that's why my Mrs looks at me gone out for taking about 4000 DVD's lol  Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Another expensive day at the caravan show at the NEC yesterday!

Bought a new porch awning, and new full awning and a motor mover for the van which is being fitted on 11th March!

You forget how much stuff you need to replace when you get a bigger van! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

i went down the porch awning and full awning route, then realised i never had enough room in a porch awning, and combine the fact that a full awning didn't take much longer to put up, bar the extra pegging out

Just be carefull about the porch awning, My old Bradcott one had buffers, that rested up against the caravan side, fine, but in the wind the movement cause some swirls/marring on the paintwork

Which mover did you go for, I opted for Powrtouch Evolution twin axle  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Unnecessary quote removed


There is a small company in Coventry that make the Rhino mover, I had the heavy duty version which can move up to 2200kg's as this one comes with a life time warranty, even of I put it on another van.

Was £725 fitted, but he did me a deal at £675 fitted! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

The beauty of going away with the two of us, Fiamma Caravanstore, rolls out as a canopy in minutes, full awning a few more minutes, can put away wet, used as a Canopy we can start draining down and putting away and be gone in twenty minutes

I was thinking of getting a Isabella Eclipes for my Awning, use it as a canopy from the caravan rail or clip it on the front of the awning , but that would make the awning stick out 5m and most likely in to the next persons pitch

So I decided against it, that and the amount of room we have in the full sized awning anyway, with the doors off is just as good

Caravan stores are a good product those Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
