Trigano is yet another maker of popups. Ours suits my wife and I perfectly. The Trigano Rubis 420 (4 berth) can be bought with either a fixed bed or a double dinette

We had, and used, a folder for about 9 years. It suited us and a growing up family down to the ground. No storage problems either..it went in the garage and was out of the way for storing. The family grew up and in the end it was just the wife and I using it. In the end bad backs and the...

A warm welcome from me. Ive followed your escapades with the wren from day one and enjoyed (and learned) from them. Now I guess your move on to something more becoming an editers position...a 6 berth TA maybe? Good luck to you anyway. Keep writing and popping in here even if you only come in...

Many thanks. Its just a case of measuring now and getting a suitable drop plate

Can someone remind me please. The tow ball fitted to the new 4X4 seems rather high and I`m bu**ered if I can find the correct ball heights listed anywhere. I do know that there is a legal tolerance for max. and min. height. At the moment pert of the numberplate seems slightly obscured. Thanks...

"just double check and check again the "petrol pump" nozzle is NOT petrol but diesel" Thanks, checked that as the tank was nearly MT and with son leaning out the window shouting it at me non stop.

The thread title is actually 'children on caravan club sites' Please note the reference to 'caravan club sites' in it

"At the time I bought my (German) van there were a number of posting to the effect that owners had found a plastic bag containing a spare set of keys stapled up under the van near the door. Not on mine, but worth a look ?" We found a set on our new French popup in exactly this way last year.

Thanks for that William. Defiantly not something I had thought about till now but I`ll now enter it into the equasion

Well I`ve at last had a look at what my local dealer has on offer...hmmmmm I take the point about the plastic finish but thats not a problem as my vehicles always seem to end up mud splattered inside and out so plastic reads as 'easyclean' to me. Size is just about right for what I need. The...

Thanks guys. I might just wander along to my nearest Jeep dealer and at least have a look and see what its like and any offers...they have a brand new one in the showroom and a demo model up for sale ATM.
