We pick up our Xcel 875 next thursday, 5 day trip to Lamb farm Cheshire to try it out.
Wish me luck as it will be a tight squeeze fitting it on the drive

Enjoy the new caravan and the break. We are away for the Easter and looking forward to it.
Hope you enjoy your new caravan and the break lives up to expectations
"New caravan" smell ought to be available as a plug-in air freshener as it's a lovely smell! We collect ours on Wednesday then off to Devizes at Easter, just hope it's more reliable than the previous one......
We live on a lane, i dont think local traffic or the neibours would be impressed with me blocking the lane

We found a mover meant we got the caravan into a steep and narrow drive far quicker although we now use storage after the caravans simply got too wide. You can also put the caravan in nose first, which is a useful security point.We live on a lane, i dont think local traffic or the neibours would be impressed with me blocking the lane
Just returned from our long weekend away.
Twin axles are really easy to tow, & we are very pleased with our choice, who would believe an extra 6" could make all the difference.
As we live on a tight lane, we were worried getting it back on the drive would be a problem, with Tina guiding me in, it was a cinch with plenty of room to spare, now we are looking forward to going away again in May to Captain Bluebell Farm near Skegness, adult only site.

Good morning. Could you tell me if it was a new factory order please and how long did it take to get it please.
I remember going from 6’ years ago to 7’6” now. The extra room was great. Now another 6” and the difference must be fantastic. Do you notice the extra width driving on B type roads? Sounds a wonderful piece of kit.
MM great until you discover remote battery is flat because it was left on. I had steal smoke alarm's battery once and now carry couple spares in van.
Definitely user problem but something to be aware of. Especially if relying on MMs.
Yes it was a new Factory Order, 3 months from placing Order, very please with quality & fitment.
Hi Dusty, no difference when towing at all, infact the twin axle gives me more confidence on the road, it does not sway as much as the single axle we had.
