Hiya, which 3008 do you have, we went to pick up van today & refused to buy(private sale) as lots of damage that wasn't there on initial viewing, which dart do you have, as we are back to square 1, just got towbar fitted & paid for storage.

You are correct not to be in any rush.

Good decision. There are lots of used vans out there now. If something isn’t right, walk away.

Hi, we are caravan newbies Tracy and Simon, with our two greyhounds, Ollie and Evie. We have purchased a Coachman VIP 520/4. We have named him Wallaby after the wallabies that could once be seen on the hills of the Staffordshire Moorlands. So far, we have had two short outings. Looking forward to many more.

The wallabys were thought to be long gone from the Roaches but one was seen in 2017

Welcome to the Forum.
I used to go camping in that area when I was in my teens. Cycled from Leicester with kit and seeing a Wallaby was a real treat, as was a walk through Ludds Church. It wasn’t well signed in those days so sometimes not easy to find, especially after a beer or two.
