Anyway, it it's a she, "she" will do it all her own way and you'll never, ever be able to comprehend why.

thats because if its a 'she', she will be basically compliant and accept changes, on the other hand
if a 'he', it will throw its dummy out and everylittle change will be a 'pig of a job'

Bet your really excited now and can't wait

We currently have a 35ft Damon RV been looking at 5th wheels, impressed with the offerings from Calder, what are you intending to tow with.

What ????????

"I'm not starting today"

"Why not"

"It's Thursday"

"But you started last Thursday and the Thursday before that"

"Yes. You just take me for granted. I'm fed up with starting on Thursday"

"But you're magnificent on Thursday, no-one can take their eyes off you on Thursday, you sexy beast"

Brrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

But you don't want to be there on Friday.

I already have a Navara Tekna Auto which most seem to be happy with, BUt if you listen to others they want big no i mean BIG, I am going to use that for a while and judge it myself, I have been out in one which is exactly what I am having which was also using a Navara the same as I have got and it seemed ok and no probs at all.

I used to have a Damon escaper at 38ft but got sick and tired of not being able to get anywhere interesting on our travels, Then fuel went up, Cost of insurance went up then road tax and I thought stuff this and got a Hymer B774 at 29ft that was OK but not totally happy as it was big but not really much room so swapped again and went to a Adria I707 at 27ft it was great but then I started looking at fivers and decided that was the way to go, Problem is now though, I cannot wait for delivery.

I was very lucky actually I advertised my Adria and sold it for asking price within 2 days, So VERY HAPPY.

Exactly the same story for us mate!
Absolutely loved my Landau and still love the A class rigs, but for us, the costs simply couldn't be justified any more, even with our level of usage.
Got the Kountrylite and Nav and are STILL over the moon nearly 7 months on. All the benefits of RV systems and tanks but with the ability to visit those tiny little villages.

ffi' recons she loves the Kountrylite even more than the Landau. Recons its a "woman" thing cos she says it looks just like a little appartment when on site, no more hiding engine hatches and steering wheels to make it look nice. ( I still love the A class tho')

Good luck with the new baby, I really dont think you'll be sorry.

Yep, had ours since March this year and have down to Spain and back twice, with a Navara no probs.
Talking to a guy on site (Marjal) we an A class and he was complaining that he did not have enough room inside and may start looking at a 5er!?

Are you planning a trip?
