My Father has just bought a Tintent to be towed by his Disco 5.
I never thought I would see the day....!
This is because he lost his licence for the campervan category when he passed 65 I think?
He wasn't aware of the fact that to regain the category afterwards is a real PITA once it's gone!2008 D3 HSE Stornoway Grey (UK)
2008 D3 HSE Izmir Blue- South African Spec. (Zimbabwe)
2005 FFRR SC V8- Java Black
1995 D1 300 Tdi Blue - (Sourced from the UK, shipped to Namibia, driven by me to RD Congo, then Zambia, now retired in Zimbabwe)

And to think I sold one a few years ago - site that is not a ‘van, had over 100 ‘vans on it in peak periods, trouble with romanies was the main reason.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

They are brave. I just about let SWMBO drive ours. Is your BIL local? There is a local one to me / us that's relatively new to the market

Noticed this in Coniston last week. Many more campers than caravans. Most new.
I reckon when overseas travel comes back, the bubble will burst.
We looked at buying a new tin tent earlier this year and no build slots until 2022 for a Swift. Only low spec last year models on the forecourt.
