Is there an Owners Club of any kind you could contact.

There is a fifth wheel caravan manufacturer based in Wales (web site http://www.f-n-f.net/A-Family-Dream.htm) You see them at big shows. I guess they must be road legal in th UK. Designed to marry up with a specific pick up made by Nissan, the total basic cost is about
