Howdy folks. As a returning member of old I thought I would show you our new to us van after I re-joined the other day. Those of you that remember me from over a decade ago on here might remember we had a Kontiki 640 (Hank the Tank) for 16 years, first bought in 2008 and great it was too. Sadly at 28 years old it was a bit of a creaking gate. I literally looked for a decade for a replacement on and off with the same rear lounge layout that would also cope with a scooter on the back which with my dodgy knees is my lifeline for getting about.
A few weeks ago we finally got one. A 2015 Swift Esprit 496 which are as rare as hens teeth in this configuration. So far so good apart from some battery and solar woes but I half expected that and its being dealt with. Currently on a CL in west Dorset for a shake down tour of a few months. Will be heading to Salcombe for a month next then Cornwall and north Devon. Next year will be the big one. Possibly a French Visa and six months in Europe.
