Magnum 505

We have been out in Elddis Magnum 505 3 times since we picked it up on 8th April.  The first two times we went to a little CS in Selsey where we knew it would be quiet & we could get to know our new-to-us caravan. The third time we ventured out to a C&CC meet in Sixpenny Handley.  We hadn't camped with this group before and were a bit worried that we might not fit in. What a wonderful bunch of people!!  As it was Easter they'd gone all out to provide entertainment for the children & adults so a good time was had by all.

The caravan is everything we hoped it would be and it performed very well. both with EHU and on gas & battery - a good allrounder. We have a slight problem in that we can't find the switch to enable us to cool the fridge in transit & my husband managed to crack the bed board, but these are minor issues and will get sorted out in time.

We are having trouble letting our Countryman go but I'm starting to sell some of the equipment we don't need any more (and getting good prices for them - people always want camping gear!) so hopefully the folding camper will be starting its journey to a new owner soon.

Can't wait to get out there again soon!!
