I bet there aren't many vans that come with a complimentary 160 upgrade though Keith

Glad the bairns are enjoying the Tin Tent, I know mine certainly did

Just to say sorry for not posting any pictures yet but photobucket seems to have gone up the spout as it won't let me re size or edit any. Anyone else have this problem? As soon as I sort it I will post. Off down to the storage site tomorrow as the lady who runs it says I can use a pitch to hook up and get to know how everything works. Very kind of her.

You can't complain at that sort of generosity, hope you have fun playing with everything and many more using the van, just don't forget when leaving the van ensure everything is switched off......
