If you don`t want to go so big Nissan do a petrol version of the Navara on special order.but i thought it might  not tow the rambler as well as the Caddy,were of abroad for 6 months and thought going through Switzerland might be tough.

I'm always sad to see our cars go.  And have said goodbye to my trailer tent and 2 berth caravan and thanked them for what they did for us.  I always thank my cars for bringing me home from a long journey.

Sad?  Who cares if something does a good job then we should be grateful

Yes Roamaround, we had the same idea when we retired and went for a set-up that we could explore Europe in.
Getting rid of the old units was a heart wrench but combining all their good points in the new unit and getting rid of all the bad points like the costs of maintanence, servicing, road tax, high insurance and drastically cutting the cost of Fuel, more than made up for it.

Albeit slight smaller than the Celtic Rambler, the Sprintaway Lux has everything that we need plus quite a few luxuries that even we find surprising.

Hope to meet up with you somewhere on the Med.
