Got home with it about an hour ago, Dad towed it home for me :eek: but we made it.
Got a few things to do, in spite of the price :eek:: as it has no keys for the door to lock it , so that's the first priority - asap before the local drunk finds it unlocked....
The other things that need doing are (at some point before the spring) - to put in a small fridge - it did say it came with one BUT it was one of those chest type things that you have to use outside in an awning! I can hardly pick it up empty, so will sell that and get a little one like I had in the Romahome. Will have to save up for that to be fitted.
The other slight niggle is that it has continental plugs - two pin sockets, so will have to find someone to wire in our UK 3-pin sort... need to find out about that. Maybe adaptors will work?
I don't know if this link will work, but this is it on ebay

The item number is 260515345173
It was bought on the buy it now (just like my camper was) and the chap reneged on the deal (just like my camper was
) but I emailed and they gave me first refusal before relisting (nice people) and knocked £50 off so I bought for £900, they wouldn't drop any more. And that is a helluva lot of money for a tiny van, so laugh if you must! I dont care! LOL!
Done my back in getting it onto the drive (that was with the help of Dad and a bloke from down the road, so I guess I'd better save for a motor mover as well.....
But I'm home and safe and have something I've wanted for quite a while, so thanks be for that eh?

Dad was giving me lessons as we drove along - but to be honest, at only 5ft wide and 650kg max weight, it's literally like driving a small trailer, Dad said he couldn't even feel it on the back of his 1.8 auto astra, and said he didn't even think it had cost any more to tow back in petrol than it had cost to get there to collect without it!
