Today finally hooked up gas to try out the hot water in our new but very very old tornado xl (not typhoon as i have put in past lol) this was the final check after taking a beaten up old van we got for £60 and cleaning it all up.and it worked first time,scorching hot water from all the hot taps.even the little fire works amazing.As im sure you can tell we are very very happy. Roll on easter.

I agree Sproz this is our first van and never actually planned on owning one until it was offered to us.It is in really good condition for its age cant find any damp or rot in it.Feel bad though for people im seeing on here paying fortunes for a serious way of life in caravaning and finding no end of problems with them.Doesnt seem right.
