Hi new member after some advice please.

Due to a change of circumstances we recently sold our caravan and Citroen C5 and purchased a Peugeot 306 petrol XSI 2.0 16v. We are looking at buying a Pennine Pullman or equivalent Conway model.

On paper we have an 85% kerbweight of 1010kg and a noseweight of 52kg. Now my question is would a Pullman or Cruiser be a suitable match, or should I be looking at something smaller such as a Pennine Fiesta or similar?

All help and advice gladly welcome.

none of the midrange campers are anywhere near that older cruiser is 750 max the newer ones are around 850 max same for the pullmans.

and welcome

Thanks for the pointers.

Well we took the plunge and today bought Pennine Pullman, allegedly 1991 model, if it proves not to be and is older not a problem as it was not a lot of money, a deliberate move on our part just to make sure we are happy using it before investing a couple of thousand on a newer model.

Chassis, frame and canvas are all sound, canvas has some repair history,but is supposedly waterproof, soft furnishings a little dated rear lights need sorting so for now I towed back with a trailer board, all appliances there but untested, to be honest i willl be removing the panel mounted gas heater in favour of a small electric convector perhaps.

No awning but not a problem as generally there will only be the two of us and our dog, We now need to find or make some bedroom liners and a roof liner, again not a problem wifey said she will put something together.

I will put  some pics on the gallery page soon.
