Thanks ProfJohnL, your comment is much appreciated. I guess it's just 'find a good un' & look after it carefully & well thereafter!

Thank you, much appreciated

Thank you

Thank you!

Mmmmm, I was looking to see which section/sub section this post would be best in & couldn't decide, so here it starts! I have a friend who is looking to buy his 1st van. I've been wanting to pass on good advice to him. The very best being AVOID a DAMP van! I thought Bailey, with their Alu-Tec...

To all contributors many thanks, I'll pass the entire post on to my friend & let him Mull things over. As always really appreciate your support, wisdom & research!

Hello intrepid explorers, I'm hoping you can help me, help a friend who owns a Mazda Bongo & has just started to get an interest in caravanning. Does anyone who uses this forum own a Bongo & has towed a van with it? If so I'd like to know about this & pass on some info to this friend of mine...

otherclive you are a star, I'm delighted to learn from an existing experienced vanner who shares virtually the exact same equipment. Collecting van tomorrow & its sounds like I'm going to need to check the nose weight carefully once I've got all the items that I need. Having seen the bathroom...

Thanks to all contributors, your comments all used to guide me successfully & I've now had a removable hitch with double 13 pin electrics fitted. Well that's one of the two essentials tucked away, the tow car now awaiting a van to follow it!

Hello once again all. SKODA owners a bit more information please. The one I brought is a 2013 Mk2 Superb estate. I've now been WARNED, by a tow bar fitting company that in fitting a tow bar it 'might' interfere with reversing sensors. Has anyone any knowledge or experience of this?

Hi all, I've been seriously pre purchase researching in preparation for a good used van buy shortly & have been doing this for some while. A Bailey is on my preferred shortlist & it's favored because of their AluTec system which, if I'm not mistaken, was a revolutionary step forward in van...

Thanks for your comment Craig & yes I would move sooner than that BUT for the fact that I'm queuing for a storage space on a secure military site. So when that becomes available, then I'll probably bring the search to the front burner! As I said "I'll be back" & WILL becoming a vanner, just got...
