Hi

Nice one Russell, look forward to seeing her

Wonderful news Russell, I hope you don't have to wait too long to take delivery. As you know we have reserved the same model as it is the ideal size and layout that we require. As for dogs on the beds.......no! We have 2 labs and a St Bernard, they would need a bed each.

We'll be able to compare notes on how we progress with the 679s, a bit like baby talk.

Well done and good luck

Hello Ian

Dogs on beds....with a Bernie I think even I would draw the line. I did at one point, when I owned the 665 model with fixed corner bed, have three Weimaraners on there at the same time.

Good luck with your 679 search - maybe the info re Cranham above may assist. I have never seen a magazine review of a 679, but the review of the Bessie 789 is pretty much the same kind of thing. I have the back issue of Motor Caravan if that helps. Drop me a PM if you need it.

All - thanks for your goods wishes.

Russell,

I do hope this choice works out for you, and you will keep your new MH for a very long time. Many happy travels to Lake Garda!

I am however baffled by the whole travel ironing thing. Never in a million years would I want to do the ironing in a MH. It's an activity I can't wait to leave behind when I go away.

Cheers,

SD

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!!!!
