Our season is starting around end of May.
A tug down to Dover, using the DFDS ferry to Dunkirk, them a pull up to Bremen and surrounding areas for 2 weeks, meeting good friends there.
Then a haul down to Spain, via Luxemboug (cheap diesel remember the jerry cans etc) then France Limoges, catch up with some friends in Dordogne for a week. Then continus, Andora, and Spain. We always plan toll free via France except if there is a small part of our journey, that bypasses a city, then we will hop onto the toll road for minimum junctions.
Spain for circa 2 months.
Then the pull up back north via Millau A75 (toll free) to Calais and ferry etc.

vette.

That looks cool and the gang. Much prefer it to the more modern swoopy motorhomes.

Picked up a new van yesterday. So far so good.

Christening it at Cholmondley Pageant of Power this weekend so lets hope it doesn't leak as the weather forecast isn't that great!

I was unsure of the design of that new one-piece front section at first. Still a little undecided...

Can't argue with the gorgeous interior mind you. Nice work.

Me too Garlick. And the rear lower panel if I am honest it's too fussy in my opinion but as you say its brilliant inside and not too heavy either for the size of van.

As an attempt to calm down the looks a little I had the dealer request Bailey to not fit the "eyebrow" graphics either side of the centre front window and I think it looks better for it.

I was going to mention the eyebrow plucking, they do look horrendous!

Oh yes, you're right about the 'brows. I didn't notice at first but now you mention it it does improve it.

That front rooflight really brightens the interior doesn't it? Have you got the protruding circular kitchen unit/ sink too?

Roof light and the fact there are no lockers at the front give a tremendous feeling of spaciousness and its very light and airy.

Kitchen has plenty of space too.

It's this one.
