Are those the vans with built in swimming pools?

Yes, and how many did you see last night eh? None! Not one quality van on show. Real quality is hard to come by.

Do you realise you are talking about a Funster the OP.

Sorry didn't relaise I was refering to a fellow funster, I eat humble pie and sincerely apologise in that case. I've only ever met a few of you guys in person when buying stuff and all were really nice. Only saw the programme last night so was surprised the thread was 6 pages long already and didn't have chance to read all on my phone so missed the OP was involved.

Just mind was boggled at the idea of 14 in as many years. There are things I don't like about ours but fix what I can or live with them.

You can see why they are so cheap, a real cottage industry compared to the German manufacturers. The roof looked really thin with only polystyrene for insulation, If he took one of them to the artic circle he must have been cold.

I was once told that -
UK vans are made for European summers.
European van are made for European winters.

Seems about right?

Roll on episode 3 when they feature real class. Autotrail rules

The funny thing is we bought a new chieftain in 2010 as we liked they layout but were let down badly by customer service but still some of the best layouts with a proper oven/fire.

WE run a 2000 W reg Chieftain, 54 k miles, no problems, water stays outside, warmth /dry stays inside, great useable layout.
Must our viewpoint.
Why is everyone so negative about everything made in UK, and then tghey complain about quality of imported goods !!!

Yep they are known for the occasional fire

I can't comment on UK vans but believe that some European manufacturers make their 'vans for European Spring, Summers and Autumns, not winters... Some have very poor winter protection.

I did wonder if the appeal of Concierge Camping was the size of the pitches rather than it actually being “posh” . I presume it’s an adult only site ?
If they do allow families I will cancel some of my £65 a night visits to Love2Stay and take my tribe down to that place for a few nights .I hope that snob is there ,that would make my day . To suggest that people that go there ( as he did in the TV show ) are any better than people that visits other camp sites, is snobbery beyond belief .
If he is so successful and happy I would question the need to “attention seek “on TV, especially on channel 5 .
I did however respect the fact that the funster from DMS got a nice bit of free advertising for his company but didn’t try and come across as being “ above everyone else “

I missed that program last night, is there a way of watching it on catch up ?

We bought a new Arapaho in 2006. It was a superb van in every way. Not a single glitch. Loved it.

Clearly you didn't know. I'd loved to have seen your face when you logged back in and realised

Has any funster either have/had an incinerator toilet or know someone who has? I'd be interested to know how they got on and any logistical problems they encountered. It seems to be a great idea but if I got one I might shoot myself in the foot and have to cook, my go-to reply to swmbo when asked why I don't is 'would you like to empty the loo instead?'. It appears cooking is more preferable..

Not yet knowing my luck it would pre ignite and give me a blow back and I would end up covered in ASH

No I'm not, I'm talking about going bust, fleecing suppliers and starting afresh with no debt. When searching for details I found they had been talked about here before even fraud mentioned. Looks like they even owed money to club members!

RS Motorhomes

British A class which you can buy tomorrow if your wallet is big enough they are superb

www.motorhomefun.co.uk

In a previous life I was a supplier to RS Motorhomes (in a couple of its incarnations).
Personally I would never entrust a penny of my own money to them.
I cannot comment on the build quality of their vehicles but I knew their financial issues all too well.
Despite losing money to company 1 they would come back on and ask for credit for company 2 and did not take “no” very well. Did not enjoy dealing with their MD.

I liked the gadget bloke, went from cooking your Poo followed by cooking Pizza
£60 per night, let’s you mix with other well off people, what a load of s***

Yes, I remember that pillock one year at Newark, about 90 Funsters stuck on a field We'd had snow and then a big freeze he spent around 4 hours on the Saturday night in horizontal sleet and was back on Sunday towing people out, jump starting batteries, replacing batteries. Not a single tip accepted. He's the same pillock who helps us print our journal each year that we give free to members, the same pillock who advertised with us, when no one would because there were only a few hundred members. And what a pillock, he only donated about a grand's worth of prizes to help get our mag off the ground.

So, he’s a big hearted, helpful, thoughtful, generous pillock then, don’t you just hate people like that

I watched half of it, got to the bailey advert and wondered what it was actually about. I don't think I will be bothering again.

omg another bit of snobery on fun

All he was saying was that the programme didn’t hold his interest; nothing more.
