Well we`ve don`t it sold up,everything traded it in for a static up north,so I would like to thank everyone who has given me some great advice and help about my knee problems ,and even apologise to some of you ( not all ) who over the time I have been on the site I may have rubbed up the wrong way with some brash statements,but many thanks to Ratty.

All the very best

Our first "caravan" was a Static.

We sold it about 20 years ago for £50.

I do believe it is still in use today.

Good luck Westy.
