Hi, I've only been introduced to caravanning last year. Managed my first 43 years without ever stepping inside one and then last year a 2004 Hymer Nova 2 berth landed in my lap. Can honestly say i wasn't too keen on the idea but was persuaded by my better half to give it a go. 4 weeks later, towbar fitted and awning hastily bought and we were off on our first weekend over easter. It was a baptism of fire and a lesson in reading the manual before you go, but as a family of 4 we all enjoyed the adventure. After 2 other stints during the summer the van has grown on me. It's in excelle

I had a good time looking round the NEC on Weds, I always enjoy looking in the Euro vans and we are considering one for our next van. My general view was that there were some very innovative layouts (much more so than UK vans) and that perceived quality was good. Further observations below: Tabbert ("Pep") - bright external colours had the effect of making the van look budget, I suspect that will put a lot of people off. Internally a much nicer feel: light airy Weinsberg - only the small and huge on display. Very similar feel to a Sprite on the inside (i. e. not too basi

Hi All, have owned a lovely Coachman 460/2 VIP for the last 9 years and had loads of fun in it with our two dogs. Time now for a bit more space (and a fixed bed 😊) so am patiently waiting to collect a Hymer Nova S 545 ordered at the NEC in October from Lowdhams. This is a new updated model from Hymer imported from Germany. It's a bit concerning that it seems to have dropped off the radar this year and there doesn't seem to be a UK importer now for this model. Also see in the news that Hymer have bought out the Explorer Group. Not sure how concerned we should be about these two points

Hi, it's quite a while since I posted on CT but we are now proud owners of a brand new Troll 530 purchased from Airstream and Company at Tebay; we collected it last October. We bought from Airstream because they are a mere 40 minutes drive from our home. We were also impressed by the workshop facilities and by John, the shop manager. In fact the workshop is in some ways more of a factory as, with the Airstreams, shells are imported from the US and substantially the internal fit is done at Tebay using local / European sourcing. In other respects though the sales operation is unusual as ther -

My new battery arrived today. A rather expensive gel 110ah! I'm confused by what seems to be a black wire that's + & a brown - for battery terminal wires!! Doesn't seem right but was working fine. Can anyone confirm this to be correct? Germans eh!!?

From the album: Cheltenham
Little later than I hoped with this follow up, Jim had a little more space left that he was looking to fill and when he bought the Cheltenham it was a toss up between it and a Hymermobile. He has had a couple of Hymers in the past and this particular beauty came up as we were coming to the end of the Cheltenham restoration. It ticked all the right boxes, 5 Speed, mechanically excellent, power steering, Body and interior very good requiring just enough work for Jim to put his own stamp on it. -
Lightweight Vs very heavy, new Vs old, 6 year Warranty Vs 1 year dealer warranty, British build quality Vs German build quality. ... any thoughts
