First outing with my new (to me ) set up

ssizefive · 20th January 2017, 12:29

In the last couple of weeks i have bought my tractor back and the reason for this was due to upgrading my caravan.
This weekend is the first time i have been out in the van & after quite a challenging afternoon yesterday all is well.
My old caravan was very old & didn't have such things as on board water tanks, blown air heating etc so a harsh learning curve took place yesterday

The van is still quite old but is a lot newer than my last one & i am really pleased with it. I bought it from a friend who has owned it for the last six years & it has a really good service history & all the moisture readings are very low.

Hopefully i will have as many happy times with this van as i did with my old one.

Looks in very good nick, Steve. I suppose you'll need a comfortable place to rest after enduring the tractor driving.

Very smart 'van - looks really clean and airy. What we need now is a nice long, hot Summer to enjoy our caravans

That's a nice van, brave man with winter caravaning.

It is well looked after. Unfortunately I have been told by a friend of mine I am not allowed to comment on the tractor

Thanks, I use the van all year round, I actually prefer the winter months to be honest.

Nice looking van.
Blown heating.... agh a fan heater

On board tank.. loss of storage space.

Hope you enjoy your van as much as we have ours.

Hope you have a great time. I would love to be away when it snows as well, on Boxing day 2015 when i set off for a weeks break there was a couple of inches on the ground but it had all gone before i arrived.

Looks to be a lovely van, I'm sure it'll serve you for for years, especially if you keep spoiling it by towing it with your lovely 75 diesel
