Look what I've bought............

[timbott]

Well this new forum has come along at just the right time for me as today I have bought my first ever caravan:yay: so I will be back for loads of advice in the near future I should imagine.

First question? What PSI should I inflate the tyres to?

cheers, Tim

[jsc]

Hi welcome to the caravan owners club!Well i think its about 48psi but dont quote me on that

[Rex Hunt]

Strange to say I wish you well of your Aluminium Tent Timbott.



might be worth investigating the Caravan and Camping Club....
Friendlier than the 'other lot' and you don't have to have the obligatory flower arrangement/bedside light in the window!

Sites are good and civilised without being regimental.

I was thinking I might become your best mate by the Biggin camping weekend at Easter (see as you have a heater and everything..).

btw, Went up to the Leadmines yesterday evening, pretty bleak up there. I think Ian was camping....

[Bush Tucker Man]

S'funny you should say that Steve.

'93Andy' offered to be my best-mate at Billing last year. Unfortunately we didn't manage to get the new caravan until the week after.
He was expecting hot weather & it's got air-conditioning.

My Goodness,

What a classic, I think my parents might have owned one of those, must check the slides!

[si_guru]

...reckon you could get 6.00 XZLs on that!

I tend to agree but I think Gaynor has other ideas.

Funny thing is I have NEVER slept in a touring 'van in my life, static stuff @ £200+ for a week yes, and tents of all types, but a 'van with wheels that actually turn :yay: New experience:icecube:

cheers, Tim

[si_guru]

Tim,

I'll be at Holymoorside alright - but that's before Easter!! Stop trying to confuse me..

Looking forward to seeing your 'van and trying out the Disco off road. Not sure what mods I'll have by then, maybe just the new wheels and tyres.

I think my uncle has a caravan like yours by the way.
