Thanks all,
It allows us to continue caravanning with out 13 year old son, who has outgrown the dinette bunk.
Very exciting, but I hope we don't have the same set of "niggles" that we had with the Challenger...I was forever up and down the motorway to Highbridge.

It's a complex situation, but basically, Ali's partner has left her.Post last edited on 31/01/2010 23:38:56------------- Jennifer

Loved it, watched it on U Tube thought it was great. From the outside I thought it was only 2 berth, so was surprised by the inside.

Hi Ali,
It would be great if you could find a way of keeping the van...life has a funny way of working things out...I do hope so.
I think the video is just a way of showing the van off as cheaply as possible. It is their best seller and providing their business with a bit of a boost.
The key for us is that it has a MTPLM of 1500kg-the weight was their major goal, I'm told the first version tipped the scales at 1590kg so it was back to the drawing board. (Made a few inches shorter and a bit narrower to shed those unwanted pounds......if only!)
We have taken a gamble that my job will hold out but hey ho...we can always sell it if things get bad.

Just been over to friends to discuss getting the piccies taken and the vans advertised, I still have the Elddis too! It is a shame but maybe one day I will find somebody that is worth being in a relationship with and buy another van.
In some ways not having to race to Chudleigh so often will be nice this year, it gets a bit wearing when you are the only one that will drive in the South Devon traffic.
