Hi, Another Andy here , yep another one . Not to get mixed up I call myself AndyV.
I have been living in France on & of for many years, since retirement a permanent resident. Was a proud owner of a Pilot Galaxy for many years & travelled pretty extensively all over France. We bought the van here in France (LHD) as all our touring was on the Continent. At that time we had a large dog & needed the extra space. The old Pilot was showing its age & no matter how hard I tried including so called professional help never managed to stop leaks from the roof . It was also decided to downsize now that there is just the two of us, not that the Pilot was huge but really just had enough of the leaks. After a lot of searching both the internet & foot slogging found exactly what we are looking for, at least I hope it is, a Burstner Ixeo time 590. The models vary to the ones you buy in the Uk. On the continental ones we have a larger freezer instead of the oven in the UK ones , just to name a few, there are others. I managed to get a very low mileage one ,13 thousand Ks on a 14 plate. It is a special edition one they call the fifty five , all singing all dancing gismos & gadgets. I can't list them all yet as I am not in possession of it yet, being prepped. Will let you know when I get it. In the mean time thanks for letting me join & will be pleased to know how other Billy Buster are doing
