Hello all, while at the Nats i saw a beetle with a small caravan behind it, does anyone know any details on the van or even similar vans to suit? i couldnt get a photo of the van

I think it's a Wesley Slumbercoach (it had slumbercoach written on it and I put it in google) that's about all I know apart from that it looked very cool.

Awesome, they look cool although I'd have to leave the kids at home ;) maybe that's not a bad thing

I also had a bit more of a look around, here's a site a bit closer to home

Blame the missus, she started it and it's stuck on me now :smirk:

Only problem is the older I get the more I live up to it :fakesniff:

greedy used to have an awesome blown baywindow called... you guess it, Fatso. where is it these days greedy?

BTW, on the caravan front, please make sure you have enough poke to pull a van properly if you have to subject the rest of us to another caravan being on the road. [pete shudders at the thought of more caravans] I will say though, the teardrop ones at least look good.

The one at the Nats was being towed by a 1200!!!! Think I'd prefer something with a bit more grunt myself. Although I think he said the caravan only weighs around 350kg?? (I could be way out here, I wasn't listening very hard :lol:)
