Well we are just back from out latest and longest trip in our sprite musketeer. While we were away I found some damp in the back of the van, showed Hubby and he said right off to michael Jordan we go to have a look around. After 4 trips there and much umming we bought a Bailey Ranger 550/6. She is beautiful. We collect her on the 10th Sept and then we might sneak in a cheeky weekend in her.
We will miss our old van, she did us proud. We sold her to friends of ours that needed a bigger van and they have the know how to fix it and give her many more years of use.
I never thought i could get this excited over a caravan, but i can say i'm like a kid in a sweet shop

Oh I know how you feel, I get really excited too.

We picked up our new (to us) caravan on July 29th and I was like a kid in a sweet shop too.

We took it to the south of france on 3rd August - 21st August

We're off for the long weekend to a CL site in Malmesbury and have got another weekend booked away for Sept 17th in Lyme Regis.

We're hoping to use ours all through the winter too.

I still can't believe it's ours

I hope you have a fab time!

Small world we have just come back from Horlsey ccc. It's a lovely site and we often go back there.
We are going to take our new van there when we collect her to do the same thing

We only live about 30 mins away and always have to go back home to pick something up!
Enjoy your van, I can't wait to go in mine

we normally go to horsley a couple of times year, only down the road but feels like your miles from home, lovely site and like you we always forget something. hopeing the weather improves as we want to try the awning out, never put up a full awning so should be fun
