Hello. Just loaded up our new van, new to us! An autotrail Navajo on a fiat chassis. We're off to park coppice, coniston for couple of nights to test the new van out...existing!
Liz and I (Dave) have had many caravans over the years and have part exchanged our ace for this van.
While we're at the site we will be looking round at drive away awnings on other vans, to see what's what as we have no idea about drive aways?
Oh where is the wheel jack!!... I'm off to search.. hee hee

Hello and welcome from West Midlands.


Not sure about your vehicle but our jack is in a space under the driver's seat which is accessed by a flap at the side (of the seat. Over the step).

w2f Good luck with your awning hunt.

There is a trader on this site with a large selection of awnings and who does 'Funster' discount to members, which on top of all the available advice and banter, could be the best value for money £15 subscription you'll spend in a long time.

Thanks for welcoming us!
Arrived at coniston park coppice, average 28 mpg at 65 mph.. no problems along the way. I found a lot of noise and feedback from the front wheels! It's just had mot yesterday so I'm thinking maybe the tyres have gone hard or something?
All unpacked and set to open the gin....

Still a very nice site. Toilet blocks looking like they have recently been renewed.. very clean. Nice walk to the town and plenty places to eat.
