We rang up Alan Kerr at back end of October knowing what we wanted as had a roller team for 5 years.
The 685 tickled our proverbials and half hour later a deal was done.
Owing to vehicle delivery being out of their hands we got the polite note it might not be here for December. No great shock at that owing to current delivery times but then last Wednesday got the call it arrived. Went down last night and can recommend the railway pub for an overnight stay then to Alan Kerr's.
What an absolute pleasure to deal with. Anyone with any concerns over dealers haven't been here. I m trying to fault them with something but am failing.

First time the wife had seen inside a 685 was this morning and I ve only ever poked my head through the door owing to covid

Met Simon-Alan Kerr and now at his dad's eddievanbitz getting the strike back and tracker done where again service is top Jonny banana.

Anyway here's the new 685. Soon to be uprated to 4100 kgs if I can read a plate correctly. Bordeaux superior at the ready for a night of triominoes.

Wow that's all white!!
 
Nice looking Moho! We had caravan for 30 years and traded into them at the NEC in 2008. Bought a Tribby 650 from them despite being in East Yorks and they were in Devon. Rod the salesman was 1st class and we had no issues that needed it taking back to them. The only flies in the ointment then was the delivery date was delayed due to the then new 3ltr and comformatic gearbox production, they could not keep up with demand. And the fact that was when the price of diesel went to £1.42 a ltr so that scuppered the agreed delivery to us in Yorkshire! We had a great train ride down to get it and a super drive back to Yorkshire during which the 3ltr engine and comformatic came into its own. We kept it for 6 years and 50K miles before upsizing. So you enjoy.

We ve gone ford auto as it was the last one we could find at 2021 prices hence the quick deal. Only gone from Paignton to Taunton but liking it. Ford manual previously and loved that

Ford motors and getting an alarm from eddievanbitz go hand in hand !!!!

Guys, thank you! It was a pleasure to meet you both!
Hopefully you found the seats comfy 😂

Superb, lots of fun ahead. Dont forget youve got a couple of months to try it out to see if it is uncomfortable. :xsmile:
