We're a family of three. Martin, Joanne & Ellis, and have been happy campers for years, and now, caravanners! We love the outdoors, nature and escaping from the confines of the house, but as tent campers, were frustrated by having a short season.
As we wanted to get out and about all year round, the logical choice seemed to be a caravan! After much researching and a lot of help from friends, the journey begins.
Aside from caravanning and camping, we like Geocaching, love motorsports (rallying in particular) fixing/modifying anything and everything, and doing things that are associated with the great outdoors!
Follow the bimbling around the country in our Abbey Cardinal caravan where we hope to make new memories, undoubtedly mistakes, share a few laughs and make the most of the great outdoors.

Class video mate, our 2005 Lunar has just displayed some of the symptoms you mentioned and I have now ordered a replacement truma bulkhead regulator as ours completely blocked last week in Weymouth. This meant no hot water or cooking after day 1 of our 5 day break! Hopefully get it fitted in a couple of days.
Good video. Just a point if I may. You can machine polish the side of the caravan but you must use a very fine finishing polish and a very soft finishing pad and apply little to no pressure on the machine. To test you are doing it right go to a scratch window and try it on that and you should not remove the scratches. What you are after is an enhancement of the paint NOT a correction. The pain on the side of a caravan is on 35 microns thick, hair is about 55 microns, but the pain is quite hard. May years ago paint was soft and thick but not now. If you scratch it you live with it.

We're presently towing with a Hyundai Tucson 2litre diesel 4WD / 6speed manual / Coachman 560 with a Miro of 1447kg. Recently returned from a month of touring North East of England and both car and caravan were very stable and well matched.

Aye mate spot on idea. We forget the toilet flusher. I use puriclean & a splash of vinegar for cleaning pipes at start of season. Al do the toilet flush also now cheers.👍🇬🇧🏆
Hi can anyone please help me, I purchased this about 18 months ago, but the problem I now have, is connecting the pump to my car tyres, the connector is just letting air out of the tie and not connecting properly, does anyone know of a solution? thank you
After all these years still hate making up beds! I've previously been known to disappear when it comes to bed time until the job has been done and then magically reappear...
Good item only let down by inaccurate charge display, when it displays 3 lights it only really has about quarter on a charge in it, you only get a true reading when it is actually charging.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Thankyou for the Christmas card. It won't be a great Christmas this year for either of us. Am so sorry Martin passed away. My love to all of you.
Minted Van, love the layout, a credit to you and your wife, lovely van well built not like the paper mashy Knocked up, new builds today. I just changed back to a Minted 2010 Olympus 624 from a 2018 Lunar Venus, you just had to look at the Venus wood and finishing's and they scratched or broke leaving white scratches or all over dark wood areas hated it. Non digital Truma blow heating cant beat it, no bleeding radiators or filling up to make more work on holiday.
Ey soft lad, we all know we want to see an R5 car down there. I Can't believe you're not around anymore. I miss you more than words can ever say. Love you Mart, ye big daft lump xxx
Mart I’ve just watched again as you inspired me to brighten up my washroom. Very sadly you passed so unexpectedly yesterday, we never got the chance to meet but I always regarded you as a mate. RIP Mart you’ll be missed by many.
