Indespension offer a 750kg (same capacity), but as a 6' x 3'9", for £995 (inc VAT)...........

I think for that money, I'd travel to Corby (Northamptonshire), rather than Indespension in Hunslet (Leeds)

EDIT;Thursday 13th @ 20:55
The Indespension (Erde) trailer weighs 40kg more too!

“Tows like it’s not there!”
Given the low weight of the ‘van, in comparison to the maximum towing limit of the Discovery

I'd be towing a twin axle with a D4 tbh.

Seen on the afternoon dog-walk, on a different route

Is that the childrens entrance?

Storage area under the bunk, iirc you can have a bed there, or storage

Bad place for stowage tbh. Damhik.

The idea was for when parked up, you could store bikes in there for example

It's what they now call a "garage", which is just silly IMHO.

Bangers & Cash : Restoring Classics

Cheltenham 'Puku'

Given what was found with the wooden frame on examination, it was a very sensible decision to trailer it from Thornton-le-Dale (or the 'warehouse' in Pickering) to the specialist restorers in Thirsk

Monday 1st

Allerton Castle Caravan Park
Allerton Mauleverer
East of jct 47/A1 (the A59 junction)

Just up at the caravan, 13:15, to replace the 2 propane bottles

Took them round to the office, & guy with compound keys is off-site
(back about 13:45 though?)

One quite close by is suffering from leaves & moss…

Has anyone used a pair of these assistors?
https://towsure.com/collections/spring-assisters-for-towing

When l last towed the 'van, there is a bit of pitching, whether that was due to an insufficient nase-weight. I'm not sure?

I lasr had a pair on our Volvo 740 estate, but that was 20years ago, with a heavier(?) 'van, than the present Coachman

At the stated price, they're worth a try
(springs/'shockers' seem fine/no issues when 'solo', even when '5 up & loaded')

This has got to be the caravan that Steve Darnell & the crew restored in Sin City Motors (even though it was bought after the restoration)

It was paired with this glorious '57 wagon; https://welderup.com/pages/wagon-rod

Why would they affect pitching?
They would help rolling side to side if that's an issue.
I think you need to look at how your loading your van. Too much weight behind the axle....
