For caravan people only
« on: 13 January 2013, 17:18:22 »

Hi all

Decided to get a porch awning for the winter months....pays to shop around. Got this 2013 Dorema Quattro from Jeff Bowen Awnings on the web, delivered free and £44 cheaper than any of the local stockists. Ordered last monday, delivered here on Wednesday.







I know this will amuse a few, but was in reception half hour ago, talking about risk assesment and H & S. When I came out, I looked the wrong way, and fell arris over head into a big flower tub.
Swmbo wet herself....just hope they never saw in reception :(

Hi looks good, same van as we bought last year, was going to tow it with the 2.2 & then realised it was not a good match so bought a Hyundai Terracan to tow with.We have recently bought a porch awning as well , not going to be used until March though.

The guru's on here said my 2.5ltr Estate would not tow it, so I reckon the 2.2 would have broken in half ;D ;D ;D. Not sure if my 2.6 Estate would tow it either :(

I reckon a V6 would tow it , but legally weightwise would be a no no, we were in Yorkshire last year & on some of the hills even the Terracan had to be put into 2nd gear , so without doubt it would have killed the 2.2 auto.

Ok Mike.....have another laugh

Me and swmbo decided to go out for a meal tonight to somewhere a bit above the normal crap. Had a lovelly steak, etc. All went well, till swmbo decided she could not finish her pint of cider. So I reached over for it....I forgot the candle, and all the hairs on my arm caught fire. Geez, did it stink. My arm is now like Yul Brynners head. :(

Thinking back....I think all my troubles started after my brother shot me with a crossbow when I was twelve. Had seven weeks in hospital with that one. Its all gone downhill since :(
