Forgive me father, for I have sinned.....
SWMBO has just bought this, which I will need to tow around to wherever we go in it!
Comes with full awning hardly used, with curtains (curtains in an awning....!?) rolling clean water thing, waste water thing, pipes pumps and other stuff, step, pink and blue fluids and the 'walk of shame' cartridge...
As always, managed to get some discount, but it's in good condition, considering its a 2005 model.
Fixed bed, side toilet/shower. Gas and electric heating, all ready to go!
Problem with the hot water and one of the central sliding doors has popped off the rail that he,ll get sorted before collection.

You'll get used to the "walk of shame" cartridge, it's when the "red light of death" comes on just before your going to bed that's the real Bummer On a mission to find the perfect Pork Pie. Just Found it (I think)..(Yes I have)

I do, but I prefer a wood, a tent or bivvy and a proper fire. This is a compromise so I can still go out and about, but keeps the wife happier as she can have a proper bed!
I have to say, there are times when I'm sure I'll be grateful for the heater and the comfortable bed!Bodsys Brake Bible

As highbackray says. BUT worse still when you need to go at 03.00am. That is a killer! There is normally space for 2 squirts after the red light. You can leave the awning curtains at home if you wish. You must get used to proper caravanning technology and jargon. We do not refer to things as "Things" or "Stuff". You would not ask TLO for one of those "things" although knowing him he would probably have one! You will either Love it or hate it. There ain't no in between. I have just looked at the photo. Looks like the caravan has been used as a static. Please check condition and AGE of tyres.!!

Undoubtedly, I'll learn the lingo, but until then, it's all a load of 'stuff'! Bodsys Brake Bible

See she comes with a round thingy on the front whatsit, you'll need a satellite signal finder to set it up, first thing good caravaners do after putting the extra room tenting thing up It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

You will love it Bodsy, it sounds like a nice van.
I always take all my camping gear in mine- fire pit, lantern, jetboil etc, and live in the awning. Nothing better than sitting in your camping chair in the awning, with the panel zipped out, fire pit outside, beer in hand, watching the sun go down. 8)
Join the club, the caravan club that is. You can then use all the certified locations to really get away from it all.

If the sites allow pit fires, then that'll be the way to go
No doubt CC or CCC will be signed up for at some point.
Thub, the tyres are the original ones, so are on the list to get changed first.
It was towed down to Devon each April and came back each October.
Had a good look at them and no sign of cracking, but they will be the first things to be replaced.
Doesn't actually come with the satellite thingy doobry, but no doubt will start looking for something similar.Bodsys Brake Bible
