The only advice I can give you is to take a spare heater with as our extra one packed up and had to go and buy another.Heating in the van was great and it was a 93 model.
Enjoy and drive safe

Spare heater is already in the van - that was a lesson i learned when i used to go camping & one stopped working.

I run a Rover 75, own a caravan & am a member of this club - sane would be the last description i would use for myself

I manage one of each, and i'm totally normal
I choose a car each day based on my mood. The Rover is for when i'm sensible but when I feel like a little toe-rag who listens to very loud heavy metal I take the ZT. It's like the Rover is the Dad, and the ZT is the delinquent son with tattoos and a red mohawk.

I hope you enjoy your travels Steve, we had a late 70's Sprite Major and towed it with the SD1 Vitesse for several years but then the boys grew up and we started going abroad for holidays.

However after some persuasion from the "Missus" I relented earlier this year in returning to caravanning afteer a 16 year break.

We are a bit spoiled this time as we now have a 2007 Coachman ViP 520/4 and on our first outing there was a heavy overnight frost which we were unaware of until we opened the blinds.

The difference with the newer vans is fantastic with blown heating and pressure hot showers etc.

Mine is currently laid up but already I'm itching to get back out in the New Year.

We will have a good time thanks - i am really looking forward to getting away for a few days. I think being cold wont be an issue but staying dry might be:xmas-smiley-031:
I will get a more modern van one day when funds allow but this one is a improvement on the 1970 Sprite Alpine that we used to have when i was a kid - it has things like a fridge, electric lights and a electric pump for the water:xmas-smiley-031::xmas-smiley-031:
I have seen the images of your van & it does look nice.

Steve.
