We are finally going to get a new caravan after 20 years of Tenting , caravanetting and caravaning, we have had 3 caravans , all oldish, the last one a Bailey Scorpio 500/4 1990, ( it's sitting there on the drive all clean inside and out and up for sale since yesterday, I can't believe we are letting it go , it looks beautful inside and we have had some good times and lots of memories and I know I will cry when it goes even though we are getting the new one, last year we were inundated with callers wanting to buy it but it wasn't for sale then) , we are going to get a Swift Celeste 2004 model,it is still new and unused but a dealership special edition, it is a demonstration model with the full 3 years warranty, so although 2004 model it is still new and a bit cheaper and after a lot of persuasion I got them to chuck in a new Dorema awning with alloy poles. We get it in under 2 weeks, I am chuffed and can't wait for the luxury.You probably think I am nuts, it is only a caravan. I bet some of you will understand though how I feel. A Weekend is booked to try it out before the 2 week summer hols. I am paranoid though about theft , didn't worry with the older vans, but they just look so vunerable all new and sparkling sitting there, gonna get every bit of security kit I can and insurance a must now, any recommendations.I certainly think you end up laying out even more with a new van on top of the expense of buying it .Anyone else got one of these, I think it is based on a Charisma but there are a few added extras.Any advice, I hope there are not too many bad points although better tell me now before we pick it up and hand over the hard earned dosh.
Awww thankyou kind people, Saturday the 8th is getting nearer, my Celeste is waiting for me to take her home and our maiden voyage , well trip.Wow Wizard that looked a right job you had there, must have been a labour of love repairing that damp. Michael where was that picture taken in your gallery?
Hi Mellyw , yea was a bit of a job doing my first damp repair on our old Sprite , but once you get into the swing of things it really isn't too difficult , it's more time consuming than anything else . Hope you have a great holiday , be sure to let us know how you get on .
