We have a Caravan

We arrived for our appointment to take ownership of our caravan this morning.  There is still some work to do in that the awning canopy had not arrived but is due this Friday so the work will be done then.  However the solar panel has already been installed.  

We used Pioneer Caravans at Eye 

https://www.pioneercaravans.co.uk/.  

We must say that we have been very pleased with the service and support that we have been given throughout this matter.  Totally professional with a "nothing is too much trouble" positivity  We also have the caravan in secure storage with them.  Thanks to Steve.

Steve, gave us a thorough tour of the van and showed OH the operating systems. He now (OH) has to work it out for himself.

We had left Missy at home and after matters had been concluded and we had bought more items from the shop, (we still have more things to acquire but I shall go back into town for these).   We then went home, retrieved Missy who was waiting downstairs for us and not a happy bunny at having been left in the first place.  I then collected all the items purchased thus far and loaded them into the car.  We stopped to get something to eat along the way and then started to load up the van with the new acquisitions.  I must say that we are both very happy with the van.

The caravan has a private bathroom area, with flush toilet, hand basin and step in shower with a proper sliding door shower enclosure.  Has central heating and lighting both main and digital as well as spot lights; Heated towel rail, storage under the sink, mirror and corner cupboard.  There is also a laundry bin.

The main bedroom has a built in wardrobe with shelving underneath, double bed with storage underneath, cupboards all the way around tthe top of the bed and sockets and a sliding door.  In both the bathroom and the bedroom there are windows with shades and fly netting as well as ceiling windows that can be opened up.

The kitchen area has a full sized fridge and ice box with cupboards above and below, a unit to the side with three drawers in, a cupboard above the microwave, and sockets.  On the other side there is the cooker a full size one, with a work area with a cupboard underneath and then a sink and drainer to the side.  There are a range of cabinets above these including a drinks cabinet with lighting so my two fancy Gin glasses have been place in there., There is then the seating area  with a chest of drawers and a small slide out table.  There is a full sized table but that is currently under the bed.  There are ceiling height cupboards surrounding the seating areas.  There are large windows and sky lights as well.  The door is a stable door the door which means we can let the fresh air in.

OH has indicated that as long as we are on an electric hook up I should be able to use my electric sewing machine.  I therefore plan on taking some of my pre cut squares and jelly rolls with me.  If OH is going fishing means I can do something I want to do as well.

Missy was pleased to be with us as usual and seems to have made herself at home.  We had bought her a bed to lay on, however it would seem that she has voted with her feet and finds our cushion much more comfortable thank you very much.  Little beggar!

OH keeps joking (well I hope his joking, that now we are mobile and have a caravan, that to pay for it I need to whittle a load of pegs!) Cheeky blighter.

Needless to say we will be backwards and forwards getting it ready and sorted in time for our holiday.  Getting excited as have not had a proper holiday for 11 years.

Catch you soon.
