Tintents
Went camping at weekend in our trusty 6 man tent. Had a great time at Aeron coast camp site in Aberystwyth. (Highly reccomend).
Anyway to the point, weve done a couple of years camping in tents now and think its time to return to the comfort of the trusty tintents. So we hoping to have one before the years out. Wont be new but if the bank manager allows we will spend around 3-5k. We have already seen a couple at local dealers we like the look of |

we r fans of swift models but so long as layout fits our requirements we will consider most makes. We are looking for a double dinnete layout with long seats at front for kids as they are teenagers now.
It will be on finance so the gaffer wants newest, best condition van we can get so that when kids decide that they dont want to be seen with us it'll be luxury 2 berth |

we've just got back from a 600 mile round trip with our big bailey, which (to relate to the other thread) all conditions pending tows at a rock steady 70mph Troll + any of the senators is a good match. |

As some of you will have probably noticed my new tintent has cost me quite a bit more than we intended. But hey you only live once eh.
Im counting the days now lol and the shopping list of things we will need/want is growing by the day |
