Just take her away as often as you can and if you are not going away in her just go and do something in her so she doesn't feel neglected lol.
Any questions then there is always someone on here with the answer
Happy caravanning

Dippy the Abbey 416 gts is a lovely van however your Vectra 1.9 cdti has a max towing weight of 1500kg and your caravan has a MPTLM of 1555kgs so you may have to think about a heavier towcar .

We have a 2000 Abbey Vogue 416 gts, ours is only 1340 MPTLM it all depends on the age of the van.

think it must matter to the age as the match is perfect. hubby said it was a dream to tow.
does the wee spotlight above the bathroom mirror come on when the big bathroom light is on. can't find a switch for it, or maybe the bulb has blown. can't get over how much more space it has compared to the bailey.
thanks everybody

Hi
In our Abbey you have to put the bathroom pull on and all the lights have their own switches. it has more lights than I have ever seen in a caravan.
We had a 1993 2 berth Fleetwood, it took us over 18 month to find our van, and its is a dream, the last owner had the van for 2 year and only used it once,and had it serviced each year, we have had the van 2 year now we are its 3rd owners, and its in really excellent condition, its been really well looked after. Loads of space, the build quality is great. Enjoy you new van.
