Hi all......At last i have a caravan my Little Zafira 1.6 can tow.......now dont take mickey out of me as i have seen wot some of you have said about this van but we were in it today at Barrons and we loved it kids did too..(GOING 450)....its ideal for us very newbies to start with (i hope) and at £4800 for a nice looking 3 year old van fully serviced and 2 year warranty (extra £300) but that includes next years service.

Have a look at web site see wot you all think.........please nice advice only as we r very excited!!

Ps Thanks everyone for advice so far and no doubt we will be needing more soon

I like the Going vans, they look much more cheerful inside than the average chintzy British van.

Well done on finding a van you like.

Nice to see what you've found. I was intrigued by this van for similar reasons to yourself. I love my Abbey 212GTS but hanker after something larger, now we have two grand-sons - but the solution must not have too much weight. I think you'll have lots of fun - and that's what caravanning is all about. Thanks for the site link.

i pick it up 24/07/06 so keep off the roads between darlington and northumberland that day!!

thanks for great comments.

fab site!!

You'll have a great time and Ralph (our Bassett Hound) hopes that yours approves as well.

ohhh no i havent it has gone all pete tong as the van is over weight there was a missprint in the hand book......it is 1300kg in the end.....doh

Oh no!  If you buy an older van they tend to be lighter.  We are buying an Elddis Crown Regent 5 birth and it is 850 unladen with a 300 payload so we can load it lightly and our Almera could still tow it although we are siting it to begin with.  It is a 1997 model.

The new vans are so full of equipment the weight tells the story so why don't you look for something a little older?

Hya Ringo, have you thought about the Eriba range of caravans. I don't know the first thing about them except they're lightweight & have a depot in Lechlade Gloucestershire.
