Yesterday the wait for our Kontiki 635 came to an end as we picked up our new van we are over the moon with it .
we spent our first night which I have to say was extremely comfortable at Home farm At Brent knoll Somerset A large site which was very nice, and friendly too ...the handover went extremely well and Max at West Country motorhomes was very thorough and showed us how everything worked etc but can't say we remember everything he told us so it's will be a little trial and error at times I suppose
. We have had a long drive back from Somerset to Cumbria today In very heavy traffic but now we are home we can get used to our van and the real fun begins ...roll on next weekend :)

Enjoy the fun times ahead. We are heading down to Somerset next week to meet up with friends we made while travelling in Spain. It's a great life isn't it? Glad you are pleased with your van(y)

Good luck with the handover. I hope it goes well.
Exciting times ahead for us both. How soon can you get away in it?
We are a bit frustrated as ours is with the dealer. In fact, we have "visited" it twice now but they are so busy, they can't get it into the workshop until 7th. Handover is not until 4pm on 9th and we are taking it away on 10th :)

It's a shame you have to wait if it's there but they are all seem to be very busy! Ours is due into the dealer tomorrow lets hope so then booked into the workshop on 1st July. We have planned our first trip abroad For 9 mths to France Spain and Portugal we leave on 9th August hope to get a few weekends/trial runs in before we go!
Good luck with your new home!

So sorry to learn of your delay we have been very fortunate we only ordered our van April and although we've had 5 different delivery dates we haven't waited too long the van came into the dealers last Monday and we picked it up on Friday so was really good ....I sympathise with you having to wait knowing it's already there
