Hi Ray

There is a hobby on the site here. Its large, has a seperate bedroom and is very luxurious. Being twin axle it will be easy to tow. It also looks different to most other vans.

If you look closely you will see that they are not standard spec. If you had rolls of wedge in every pocket you would buy an up market one .it is very difficult to check the ownership of caravans as well. Shocked Embarassed

There was one on the site we were at last weekend, lovely big thing but a tad impractical - shame the park wardens were forcefully removing the wheel clamp and getting ready to drag it away somewhere as we were leaving on Monday morning! Dont know what was wrong with it, maybe pre ordered for another, ahem "site"!

I have often seen them on the motorways and wondered about the legality of their width.

A mate of mine who is a tugger looked at some new ones, some are cheap as chips and really well spec'd - but crap resale value, thats providing some pikey does not pinch it first!.

Hi

I would guess the Hobby brand is well made and up to the job. I also note the twin axle models have in board water tanks. The same can be said of the German brand Tabbert.

Do they???

In Germany and France (where by far the largest populations of "real", ethnic "gypsies" live) many prefer Tabbert...
