I said I was coming back!!! (1 Viewer)

[BreweryDave]

Done it!
So, after much searching, found the perfect ( for us) FT van!
Fully kitted out with solar, sat, gaslow 2 bottle system with external fill, extra locks, Alde wet heating, auto box, LHD, 5200gvw, and silly low mileage! Burstner elegance i821, 2005.
Had to do everything remotely from Spain so had a freind check it out in the uk, then a hab and pre purchase inspection carried out, and all good so just went ahead and bought it without even seeing it

May sound daft, but have done all our ' due diligence' and are happy with everything, being the layout and size we want we know it will do the job!

So we fly to uk next week, do a few family visits, collect van from Plymouth on Monday 19th, and are booked on the Pont Aven from Plymouth to Santander on Tuesday 20th

Will then drive back 'home' to Torre del Mar, move out of our appartment end of Feb, then move on to the site here for the spring (while we finalise affairs and liquidate other assets here) then we will be back on the road as full timers again Mainly Europe, but will do July and August in uk - see you at Malvern

Happy days

Comfortable that one, of course now that you've gone all Teetotal you won't need as much room for bottles and cans and stuff.

Nice one Dave, see you in a field sometime soon.

Oh dear, guess that will cost me beer then Alec! Are you overnighting on the Monday anywhere? We're gonna book onto Riverside campsite, Plymouth. Otherwise, see if you can find us in the ferry queue, or of course in the bar on board!!!

 

[Tootles]

Snap!!

Be careful Dave, he will have you singing a verse from "Guantanamera" with him in the workers bar............. It always amazes me how those who champion the socialist system, own the largest amount of capitalist trappings..........

Welcome to the elite bunch of Burstner owners! Careful if you park near any Hymer owners. Green is not a good colour for Hymers.
See you somewhere and welcome back.

We are making our way down from Sunderland and stopping on the CC site at Warwick racecourse on Monday night after visiting some friends at Nuneaton.

Will look you out in the Q or maybe in the bar, the latter will very much depend on the weather

No singing by the way despite what @Tootles says.......don't dance either

Not many capitalist trappings around here, we're only poor homeless folk from Rochdale

 

[Tootles]

Yes. I heard how they are handing out 5th wheel units with foodbank coupons.........
