Had a trip out to the caravan shop this afternoon for a plug for the bathroom sink, shouldn`t have gone. Came out a bit poorer as we part exchanged the caravan we bought only 2 months ago for a Hobby. Hopefully we`ll keep this one.
Ban me from the caravan shop

GG, been there done that, went in for a new 13 pin plug for my mates caravan, on the Saturday, the next Monday picked our new Coachman, Kerching went the till. Lovely though.
It`s easily done, we weren`t really happy with the layout on the caravalair, this one is much better.
We did exactly the same thing last week, went to our local caravan dealer for same toilet rolls and bought a Bailey Pegasus as well, oh well, it happens !!!!

I think I would stick to buying on the internet it is far safer. At least in Glasgow we have a caravan shop in the high street so there is no temptation to buy a caravan but there are lots of things you never knew you needed.
Bought my current van on the Internet ( Ebay)
I only went on line to check my email!
I don't think any where is safe.... as once a caravanner..... always a caravanner!
Happy Caravanning

PS off now for 3 week in the van!.... just performing my final anti rain dance before we set off!
We went looking for a cheap second car for myself , and ended up buying our caravan instead , my wife said do you wanna car or shall we get a caravan instead !? :S tough choice , my bike got used for an extra year or so !! 
And we've never regretted it yet !! Stroll on next weekend when we're away again , sitting in sun lounger , top off with a can as I type this :blink: B) so I hope it's like this next weekend .
Happy caravaning ,

oh lucky you CY, we are off to uk next week for a couple of weeks, not in the caravan though, then when we get back we`re off further south for a month. Enjoy and I hope we all have better weather and the floods in the Loire have subsided.
we bough our caravan last year after popping into a show room on our way home from a holiday in a static... never looked back.
My wife and I went to the local caravan shop and a look round . I bought 5 pig tail washers £1 .... My wife bought a 2016 spec Kampa pro rally air . £799 . She asked for discount and got it and then got interior lights for it . Not quite the same as a new van but a shock for me and my wallet !

Just googled that and watched the video
, looks really smart and itwas reduced to 599 pounds........;no no no noooooooooooooooooooooo
Oh don`t tempt me, we`ve got a full awning but a porch awning would be handy when we`re just away for a few nights.
Just had a knock back ... We have to wait another 2 weeks for it to be delivered from Kampa ????? Forgot to say I bought a 2 stage pump 2 days after ordering it . I don't mind blowing up 260 Air awning up, but blowing a 390 heavyweight Air awning with at least twice the volume of air with a hand pump is asking too much . Checked our van ,it has a power socket (cigar lighter ) in the battery locker . I can also use 12v 7ah battery to power the pump up . So cant wait to use it . When we get it .

Yeah I bought one of those as well. Takes me ten minutes on my own and it is the only one we take away for weekends now. Over the winter if it is wet well who cares, we can dry it at home in our dining room. the best buy ever.
