Hi Tich,

Have missed your posts on the new folding caravan site.

We just had our first outing in our Export-matic. It was brilliant, even the OH loved it.

Hi Kris I've still yet to join lol. Problem is if I join to many forums I'll never have time to get anything done. I will join sometime soon.

Glad you're enjoying your Rapido & hope you've got everything sorted on it. At least your awning is a better colour than mine

How is it going on the new site these days?

Tich, join the site I am the only Rapido owner on it I need company!!

It is small but very friendly.

We got the awning in with the caravan so a real bargain and it is all in great condition. The gas pipe was original, we changed it but it still looked brand new. We do need to see about the lamination on the floor, but other than that it is superb.

I saw your photos, yours is slightly different. Ours has a picture window above the settee, and a cupboard where your window is.

While we weren't able to find anywhere to open ours I used to look at your photos and that gave me comfort!!!

Hi i have a Esterel folding caravan, they are really easy to put up, just level it, open the catches(that holds the roof down), lift one side and pull up the end panel should be assisted with struts, do the same to the otherside then open the main door climb in and lift the sides, lock the sides in place with the things in the corner and hey presto!!

p.s im a member of the folding caravan club, we have started having meetings on weekends would love another member, you might pick up some great tips and you can see pics of our vans once you have became a member.

Good luck with it all!

Sonia
