Just joined the ranks of Caravanners!!
« on: 16 August 2010, 09:56:34 »
After Towbar fitting by Mr Sethsmate, and consequent 12N and 12S wiring done yesterday, will be a proud owner of a Pikey wagon on Weds!!!

Had better talk to DLK about bringing it to Newent, I suppose.............

(Actually quite excited about it, how sad am I......)

Only HALF a Pikey then, mines a FOLDING caravan that only makes a trailer 15'x7' when down to tow.
Goes up from trailer to caravan in 3 mins!!

We got one of these Mike on Mrs Sethsmate's insistance. :D
Takes about ten minutes to erect it, and can't fault it for the money. :y

Found Waudby's service is excellent, and it'll probably arrive with you tomorrow ;D

Mrs Sethsmate's skills at awning assembly are legendary Mike - really! ;)
She'll happily provide assistance at Newent. ;)

Surely am, Jamie....only live 15 miles away, so gotta do it. Was only going to come for the day, but suppose with a "Pikey wagon" in tow could stay overnight.
Be nice to see you all and put a few faces to names, etc. PLUS the fact I have a few bits to bring for a couple of people too, and have loads of beer left over from my party, so need to use it up before it goes out of date.......(thats my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.....)

Going shopping for gas kettle and a few other bits tonight, must buy a 12v coolbox/ fridge and some 12v tubelights too.

You are right, it DOES become a bit addictive, cos I've already bought a 1500w inverter, mini TV and aerial/pole last night.....

Theres "roughing it" and theres Caravanning....!

got any of these bits spare, mate??
