I have seen some lovely looking caravans down here which I am going to see into when I get home.
The ones that have taken my eye are
a Bailey Senator Wyoming and an Elddis Crusader Sandstorm.
Do any of you caravaners know anything about them?
The Bailey I have seen the owner used to tow it with an Omega Estate no problem he says... It does look a big i thought although would need to check the weights out.

A workmate sayed to me once when buying a van when you go in it if it smells foosted/musky walk away.
and make sure it has documents(log book) as vans from 1992 have a chip in them somewhere also the usual check chassis no matches window etching

[Darth Loo-knee]

I can't open those links with my phone Di but thanks anyway. Think you might be right about it being a Superstorm too ....

[Elite Pete]

Just let me know when your leaving Massive for the lakes meet so I can set off before you

How much?

Have recently bought a very nice, spacious piece of canvas holiday accommodation for about 1/50^th that money.

The MV6 can still be driven as it deserves with it sitting in the boot and I don't end up with a large tupperware box to store somewhere for the 50 weeks of the year when I'm not on holiday.

We have been looking for a site that we would love to keep returning too and this is one of them. But also we like Anglesey plus that is closer if you wanted to go at the weekend too but have not found a site there yet which I would keep returning too.
Does anyone recommend a site in Anglesey?

And there is *STILL* more room in my tent, even with Dundee's car parked in it

[Darth Loo-knee]

No one will get stuck behind me infact I have overtaken more cars than you can imagine towing a caravan.
Kev I also have a tent which I will also be bringing to the Lakes which takes all the room of an estate and more.... But you still can't get betond the fact that a caravan has more luxuries than any tent.
Just to add to that, I will also be keeping my tent plus hopefylly be leaving my future caravan at a site I eventually find that we want to return too. X x x  x

But £13k is a lot of years in a hotel room, which has even more luxuries, and doesn't get in the way of traffic

Go for it Daz! You can laugh from the warm & dry of your caravan at all those in tents when they're ankle deep in water. We've used our 'van when there was 4" or 5" of snow on the ground, & still nice & warm

The handbook for my 2006 Bailey Senator shows the Wyoming at:
Internal Length 6.4m
Shipping Length 7.89m
Maximum Technically Permissable Laden Mass 1714kg
Mass in running order 1454kg

Obviously this would vary very slightly depending on model year.

When I bought mine new in 2006 the dealer did a Towsafe check (compatability between car and caravan) and my 3.2 Elite Estate came out as an OK match. It tows well and the car averages 17mpg with general driving conditions. Don't do much more without the van on the back.

Hope this helps.

Alan

I agree that it is a lot of money, but, if I can find a site that i like, we or at least the kids and Mrs Loo-knee will go the whole of the school holidays to it.
Seems worth it to me anyway

Got one here for sale Daz, an Abbey Vogue (2007), fixed bed jobbie, single axle. My Miggy TD estate tows it with ease.




Will be selling it shortly (beginning of June) and will include all the gear with it. It's got one of those motor movers on it as well .
