New van is home
Permalink  

Hello all

After what seems like years my new van is finally home.

It is a champion Maiya 20'6" full size with more features than the Evolution had but at a much lower price, so worth going with the manufacturer and leaving the dealer to the vulchers

www.championcaravans.com

Will post some photos when available. now going off for a holiday and leave the kids to look after the place

Ken

biggrin Congratulations Ken, May you have many, many safe and enjoyable travels in her !

I know how you feel, i got a new Lotus 18'6'' ensuite van 3 weeks ago, and we are taking it on a ''shakedown trip'' to the bushcamp on the Campastie river at Elmore this weekend, to make sure it all works well, Hope Elmore weather is kind to us,

So you enjoy your new pride and joy, and maybe we will cross paths oneday   dazren

How exciting! Now you have to transfer everything over from the old van to the new van. You have to find a place for everything, and put everything in its place, IF if fits. It's a challenge, but I'm sure you'll have many happy caravanning hours and KMs with it.
Are you having a formal christening for the new van?
I look forward to your travel reports. Safe and happy travels in the new van.

dazren, while you are there. The Elmore Field days are on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, might be worth a look if you are still there.
