All Pathfinders are 600cm, hence the 600 bit in the 600DL

Looking back on the brochures from 1999 - 2002 Pennine produced both the Pathfinder TC and the Pathfinder DL, the specs on both were the same except for the water heater and the oven, on the DL these were both fitted as standard but on the TC these were an optional extra. From 2003 onwards Pennine only produced the DL version.

Still going Gaz. The Pennine Group went t**ts up in March last year, then were taken over by two former employes, trading as Pennine Outdoor Leisure, and are now financially backed by former dealers Camping International. This is their current Web Site; Pennine Outdoor Leisure
