So ... we have ordered a new Coachman Pastiche 575 and part-exchanged our Swift Challenger 570 (2010) - new van due in June. After much deliberation, planning, choosing, viewing and angst the deed is done.
Very much looking forward to an island bed (no more unexpected squashing by OH in the night) and the Alde Heating. Having sat in a van with it on ... the difference for us was amazing.
Of course there is guilt at parting with our van which has been an absolute god-send health and sanity wise for me, there is not a speck of damp and it is lovely, but OH decided life is too short and we should get the van of our dreams now and not wait. Got a good price p/x too. Obviously I've had to go out and buy lots of new things for the new caravan, who shall be named Foxy!
Shall aim to use current van as much as we can up until new one arrives and I just know that I shall be sad to see it go but hopefully onto new owners who'll love it just as much as we have!
