NO TIME WASTERS PLEASE!

Breaking News! It’s time for our much loved, cared for and amazing caravan to join another family. Call it a Bach on wheels, a tiny house or a caravan like we do - you will love it’s fully insulated walls, double glazing, oven, microwave, fridge freezer and even satellite tv. It’s got plenty of extras, like extra wide opening windows (with insect mesh on every opening window and door) a specially made awning made locally, marine carpet for outdoors, ducted heating, full bathroom, a ridiculous amount of storage and much more. If you’re sick of tenting and would like the best of both worlds - pm me.
