Caravanning 2015 - what are your plans?
Discussion
We are away at Easter in Salisbury direction, perfect excuse to hit the plains with the caravan too! Misses first time away in it too.
The Elddis will have to go unfortunatly, the new OH has two lil uns (2 and 5) so a 2 berth doesn't quite suit the role needed anymore. Just purchased a 2001 Avondale LandRanger 6400 with End Bathroom, side bunks etc. Was a display model, so has AC, Alloys, all the toys, and a beautiful isabella awning and porch! I collect it today, hopefully throw some pictures up! Thats the economy on the v8 landy ruined then!

It has a very similar MIRO to ours (1740kg compared to our 1700kg) and we manage around 28mpg from the A6 when towing.
Remember that the AC unit will take a fair chunk of your payload (possibly 40kg ish?).

Thats a lovely looking outfit you have there! Slight envy! hehe
I really must take a picture of my outfit. Its 12 months now since I purchased my first 14ft, 25 year old van behind my scenic. I now have a huge twin, modern-ish, and tow with two big trucks. Caravanning has become a serious addiction!

It really is lovely, with all the modern conveniences. Haven't tried the awning yet but it's about twice the total space of the van again. Waiting for better weather before we give that a try-out.
The ML surprised me. I sort of realised it would cope OK but it was spectacular. I'm looking to swap it for the 4-litre V8 diesel if I can but only because I fancy one and not because the 3-litre was deficient at all.

We're going to the Forest of Dean for Easter. Funny as we used to live on it's doorstep but never camped there, but now we've moved away we fancy going!
Went back to the van in the lockup site for the first time in about 4 months last week and was pleased to see that our thorough end of season clean paid off, no nasty smells or mould, nice and fresh and just a bit of grime on the outside. Will probably tug it out to the local Latvians to clamber all over it with a jetwash next week
