Pau1968 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I went an posted on the forums without an intro. Hi All, thx for the responses already in my request for help posts. Were coming back to caravaning after years away while our teen son has become old enough to be left home alone.. been doing villa holidays for years after he decided caravaning was not cool enough ... but now hes at Uni, decided its our time again. So we've bought an Xtrail as they can pull anything.. just about, and an older coachman pastiche 460/2 and a nice inflatable awning... Looking forward to some good interaction these forums and many trips away in our new little van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped and started on a steep hill labelled a 1in 4.5 and it managed to take off with the help of a little wheel spin.

Easy T Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I'd like a few more. Our Yaris is 20 years old in two months! Quote Alan 2005 Nissan X-trail 4WD diesel and Swift Charisma 540 2012 Lunar Clubman ES 2018 Lunar Clubman ES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 1.3l Corolla auto with air con is now 23 years old with 112k on the clock and still going strong and just passed its MOT with no advisories. Apologies for Fred Drift.
