Congrats hunny am waaaaaaaaaay jealous Wink


Hello you lovely, delightful darling.

Still hopeful of a trip to the Lochs soon.

That's a really nice thing to say about Swift, more so as you are not a Swift owner.

Will keep you posted re a trip up there.

Russell

Hi Russell
Congratulations this sounds like a good choice, I was the proud owner of a kontiki for many years but things change and I am now the proud owner of a wee thing with a elivating roof.
You have obviously covered every aspect in depth before making your decision and I’m sure that it will be the right choice for you.
Judging by the response to earlier posts I can only assume that safety is not high on the list of priorities for most buyers, I’m sure that this was not so in your case. Most of us wouldn’t dream of buying a car without proven safety credentials. Do we have the same attitude when deciding on which motorhome?

The Hymer as I understand it had a really good result from the EuroNap test, how did your van perform in this or similar?

So pleased for you Russell. How could you possibly look as cool in your photos with NO ironing board?? Cool

PS. Go back to the original post Russell and read it again - bearing in mind I have missed a few rounds re. canine companion. - I thought Jenny was female (woman) sister/friend sharing finance. I caught up halfway down the page. Especially the bit about Pusser!!!!

Congratulations Russell on your new baby - she/he sure sounds a right bobby dazzler. Very Happy Obviously, you were delighted with your last Swift (good choice) hence going for another Swift model and I just know you and Jenny are going to enjoy some wonderful adventures in your new toy!

Can't wait to see some photographs and with any luck we will get chance to meet up and see her/him in the flesh in the not so distant future! Smile

All the best. Very Happy

Sue

Congratulations on your new purchase and Bless all who sail in her including the dog of course although someitmes I think you find the word dog offensive and prefer a more human approach. Very Happy

I did think a pic on the post of the beasty would be a good idea so we know what we are talking about and perhaps the benefits of a a tag axle which I presume was possibly a requirement.

But anyway. Main thing is the dog's happy.

Now for the good stuff - the journeys.
