Part one of the plan is now very much in action, we now have an XC90 for towing duties, giving us a lot more flexibility than the previous V70, thanks to its 'weedy' 1.6 Diesel engine and measly 1300 kg towing limit. Great for the camping trailer, but no use for the sort of plastic palace we need with two energetic children to accommodate..... The search for our caravan, is pretty much on.
Part two;
What's the general thought around the October show? No point in me doing anything sooner, unless you can show me something spectacular, as we can't change our summer plans with the tent. Are there proper deals to be had, or is it all a bit hyped?
Why are manufacturers (and magazines) seemingly shoving fixed bed layouts down my throat? Don't get me wrong, I see their place and value, but I don't want one! Cutting to the chase, I want a new Swift Callenger 640 (discontinued) or its Sterling Eccles counterpart (seemingly discontinued) Sprite do the Quattro DD, but my fussy side wants better LED light units on the back. Anyone hearing any whispers about anyone else bringing a double dinette, twin axle layout back?
The only other layout that has any appeal to me is the Elddis Avante 866, the extra few inches width gives me concern, especially on some of the access roads to sites. Also some advice I've had unofficially suggests some sites won't entertain one.
So, that's me, any and all advice gratefully received!
