    Compromise or upgrade?!?

    Oh ......I naively thought that once this masters was completed and 2 more years for my youngest then I may have more spare cash......maybe not!!:eek: I am staying away from all forecourts and web pages honestly. Thanks for your thoughts everyone!

    Compromise or upgrade?!?

    Decided! (We think :LOL::LOL:) to keep our motorhome. Hubbie has decided to make reversible adjustments to the washroom and just try to adjust and manage the driving position. As I said we do love Sydney Swift and everything is paid for etc....perhaps a change will come when we've seen our 2...

    Compromise or upgrade?!?

    Thank you parksy. The problem with the driving position is that there is a bulk head behind the seat so he can't push it back any further. We can use facilities just love our own...

    Compromise or upgrade?!?

    Touring park on the beach

    Thanks everyone - not used to being planned so well but as I have to book weekends and school holidays, I have found this difficult since returning to motorhoming/caravanning. Is it just me or is availability tricky? Anyhow the research continues - I love it!

    Alde wet central heating

    Ah thanks - it did take a couple of hours so we wondered if we were doing something wrong. I agree it was brilliant once at temp - really even throughout the van. We were on a cl site on our own which was fantastic - with just water and electric. A great way to get used to the caravan. I did...

    Alde wet central heating

    Hi We have just been out in our new to us Swift Challenger. After setting up we found the caravan took a long time to warm up - once at temperature it was fantastic.! Just asking if this is the case generally with wet central heating, as we have only had experience of blown air heating...
