Ta for the advise, purchased made!

[Barneythebeardie]

Hi, again. Well as said above, many thanks on my previous thread 'More Newbies'. The wife and I have been looking at diffrent makes and models today. List's were made, photo's taken and discussion's had. We then went back to see one of our first veiwing's. To be honest, this is what they all had to match up to! A bit more looking around, and the decision was made. We are now the proud owners of a 2010 Coachman Wanderlux 18/4.!
Bit more discussion and some money off as it was above our budget. Free starter pack, 6 month warrenty into a 12 month one thrown in and a 3.5metre air awning for an extra £250. All in all very happy. Full service and check over before hand over and a free weekend away to iron out any problems with our first 'live' use.
Now to sort out the car and we are awaaayyyyy!!!! Oh and Barney the Beardie dog will be coming to!

Think the first weekend will be more nerves than enjoyment but once we've 'Been there and done it' then YES!

Yes but don't worry it will get quicker and quicker the more times yous get out and everything that you do will just come natural .
I remember our first time out and I was still trying to put the wheel clamp on 45 minutes later ; felt a right plonka !!
Then chill out and enjoy.

Ok, thanks but only thing is I don't think it had a hand lever to flick it off!

Barney, yes I found it strange at first then it became very "normal" no hand lever to release just a quick dab on the foot brake, my SF was an Auto so very easy anyway.
