i not long got rid of an 03 tabbert as wed used it for working away but it wasnt really suitable to holiday in after that ! i went to wales in tent and decided i was to old and fat for air beds lol needed bito luxury so caravan it had to be! if you wanted english van 4yrs old 6 berth youd be £10k + easy german "traveller" vans fraction price

be careful jace, I know you have already had a german 4 wheeler but these are 8 foot wide typically and only legal to be towed by a tug with a gross weight over 3500kg, considerably bigger than a nav and technically even for your transit.

real shame cos they are beauties but is it really worth invalidating your motor insurance.

the national caravan council

quotes:-
Did you know that a caravan with a body in excess of 2.3 metres wide or 7 metres long can only be towed by a heavy motor vehicle (over 3500 kg Gross Vehicle Weight)? Not even a Transit van, nor the biggest 4x4, can lawfully tow a caravan that exceeds these dimensions.

im on traders policy including recovery etc so hopefully ok on this score worst come to worse id say it was customers or something,im hoping to tow it up to wales add an awning and leave it there pay yrs site fees etc i dont realy want to be storing it on drive an towing it for holidays lets local scum bags know no ones in for start!

not quite we have the concrete base in for the new stables but they are going to be in insulated steel sheets, and a touring caravan is already on site. The static, and blocks are for another project! I need to build a retaining wall to level the ground to put the static on!

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

CM i dont think i could lay even those blocks straight but the Barkless Treeblocks , have geven me an idea :wink:

 

[jace]

i love kingspan steel sheets so easy to put up u get to see progress real quick!,my mates just rebuilt his stable block he did have some blocks over but hes so tight he makes a ducks u know seem like a culender lol

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

he sounds like me :lol: no but i need fair old few so i'm planning to save them up over a few months and then render the wall to hide the mixed up coulours and sizes.

I cant site a static until after the wlall is built and the leveling done so i am in no rush.

 

[jace]

think he had two pallets left we struck deal with builder i know and he over ordered lol

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

well if you can talk him into parting with them give me a shout i can come and collect! :wink:

 

[jace]

i will sweet talk him with stella lol

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

dont sweet talk him to much i cant stretch to exspenses, not with diesel being th price it is :lol:

i'd rather spend my loot on stella any day :wink:

 

[jace]

[(RIP) PLANK]
