    No New Vans with Lounge Front and Rear?

    Yeah, I get that. When we don't have to take the kids with us we'll probably do the same. Having the larger caravan than needed I can also agree with. Having a 6 berth for four of us means that if I do manage to sneak a drink or two during the evening and dare to maybe snore a little then...

    No New Vans with Lounge Front and Rear?

    All interesting stuff, thanks. So I guess, ultimately, it comes down to a combination of what people want, what manufacturers think people want and what manufacturers want people to want. Maybe, when it comes to the time for us to upgrade. caravan design will have gone full circle and we'll...

    No New Vans with Lounge Front and Rear?

    I think we'll be keeping ours until it falls apart too. I just can't see any other layout working for us.

    Once social distancing restrictions are lifted, do you have plans to hit the road again?

    We bought our van in February and have only managed to get out for a single weekend. Had a cracking time so we've booked a few trips for (June) July and August in the hope that the restrictions are relaxed enough by then. If not, I'll just keep crossing them off the list until that happens...

    Totally agree. Seems such a waste of space.

    No New Vans with Lounge Front and Rear?

    Hi All, we bought our Lunar Quasar 556 back in February and absolutely love the front and rear lounge areas as they allow a lot of light into the van and provide a seperate area for the kids to play. Now, in case the wife is reading this ;), we're not looking to buy a replacement van already...

    We did thanks. Just as well we went when we did too, as who knows how long it will be until we can enjoy it again?

    Yes, of course, but I'll have to fix it at some point.

    I had the same issue last weekend. Did a replacement element fix your problem Baz? Cheers...

    Just bought first caravan

    I can confirm that after moving the van on the storage yard on Saturday, I now qualify for this particular t-shirt!:whistle: Thank you all for your tips. Now, if you could see fit to make the wind disappear from next weekend's forecast, I'd be very grateful....

    Just bought first caravan

    Hi Mike, yes we have had everything running at the storage yard and have made a few repairs here and there as well as fitting a temporary solar panel to maintain the battery. So,we're pretty much happy that we know what does what (until something unexpected happens!). This weekend we're...

    Thank you. I agree with you regarding the weather. I am watching it intently and as we are due to go next Friday I'll make a call early next week; leaving 72 hours for cancellation :)
