Well almost, it's arrived at the dealers and will be made ready for the 8th April.

I've had pictures sent through, but I don't think I can post them here can we?

    It's more to do with us being away and the earliest we can return our current van for the motor mover removal being the 1st weekend in April.

    Enjoy! We have a delivery date of May/June and our old caravan is already gone so no trip away this weekend for us sadly.

    I would never let them have your old model before you pick up the new one. If the dealer goes bust you have lost the old one and no rights to the new one.

    WE have a 'late May' delivery date.  Time goes so slowly!  Laughing

    That's so true Steve, although it's a much bigger van we have I believe got less storage space.

    Our late April delivery date forecast is a struggle so pleased we don't have yet another month to go! although it may take another 2 weeks to carry out the dealer mods we want.

    Motor mover, shock absorbers, additional internal and external sockets, additional tv aerial outlet, additional lighting. Possibly Paintseal too if we can get it at a sensible price (I am not paying £400 for applying £10 worth of chemicals.)

    Quite a lot of mods then.  Our only modification is the pneumatic jockey wheel.  Unfortunately it's already been fitted so I can't now cancel that.

    I will fit the jockey wheel upgrade myself! We wanted the dealer special version of the Quattro ew but the upholstery was particularly naff, shades of old folks home circa 1950. I am also not happy at the idea of towing such a big and relatively heavy van
    without shock absorbers. We are also having factory fitted ATC.
