I don't normally get time to post in here, ill have to keep up to it this year if we're ever allowed out!

Well its been a while. Not been to the Van since September for reasons were all aware of! This is the last time out, last trip in the trusty old Volvo as well 😔 It was lovely in Scarborough in September Enjoyed the local hostelries, North Riding Brew pub is superb in Scarborough Had...

If you are going up the A1 the CL Ellengarth at Bellerby is lovely as is the CL at Crakehall Watermill, both within 15 mins of the A1, and near Richmond which is a lovely little market town as is Bedale.

Still going strong, if anyone is thinking about caravanning and has a very young child (our little boy has just gone 2) then do it. You don't have to spend 20k on a brand new tourer to have fun, or be co.fortable and experience luxury, I wouldn't change mine for one, buy once, on condition...

I've never owned a Diesel car and only ever towed with petrols, a 2002 406 V6, a 2001 Saab 9-5 Aero and now a 2005 Volvo S60 T5. None of the have had any problems with the Van on, I've just taken my caravan (1470kg) from Bedale to Cayton, about 75 miles and sat on the A64 and A1 most of the way...

I had to buy a different caravan for this reason when I knew we were having a baby. I've bought a Motorhome pop up sleeper net which I'm installing between the base and bunk in our side dinette van, breathable and no way to escape for our 8 month old!

I'm taking the boy away next Thursday on my own hence the trip this weekend, bit daunting but should be fun!

It's that time of year again! Unfortunately a house move means the van is no longer at home, but in storage close to where we mostly go, which will save towing it all the way from home each time I guess, and our first new addition, a baby boy, meant we missed pretty much all of last year...

We haven't been away since May :( We had a baby in July which has slightly got in the way of playing out, towbar should be here this week for the new car though so should get away a few times before the end of the year :)

Sad to hear this, he was so enthusiastic about his work i saw on the videos I've seen and I'm sure he will be sorely missed. Condolences to his friends and family. RIP John.

What's everyone's plans for the bonfire weekend :) I've found a local site at the top of a huge hill overlooking Leeds & Otley so we can see all the fireworks from all around and I'm trading the old van for the new one in the morning and the wife doesn't know yet so it will be a surprise when...

Yes it's a main dealer which my parents have used for 20 years , has been serviced by them and has damp reports in the history for all its inspections and is been serviced before I pick it up too, I've taken my own damp meter and all seems good also. Bone dry all over and has 12 months warranty...

Well after seeing over 10 caravans I've bought a 2006 Ace Aristocrat with a side dinette. More on condition than anything else, the seats are all like new as are the carpets. It's got a very good washroom with a sealed, lined shower unit and loads of storage everywhere. Pick it up in 2 weeks...

We will be having children very soon so I'm told so I'm making the allowance now :lol: I've looked at a lovely ACE Globetrotter today and had a very good part ex offer, 4 berth with a side dinette and an end washroom with fully lined shower too. 2005 model and in weight but out of budget which...
