Hi All

A few pics of my outfit from this years holiday, our first long towing trip with the V70.

Cheers

Looks great, I have a V70 170 Manual and am looking at Baileys - would you recommend? What roof box have you got?

Cheers

We are very pleased with the caravan. The only thing we would change would be to move to a fixed bed. Having said that, we left the front bed made up on this trip as we spent most time outside of the van.

It is not winterised so depending on if you want to tour all year you may need a more expensive model. The Ranger is, IMHO, a good light weight, well equiped van. I think it has been replaced by the Orion now.

The roof box is from Halfords and allows us to store the deck chairs, wind breaks etc.

Cheers
Alan

Here is a photo of our outfit over the summer holidays. I find the S60 to be a superb towcar with plenty of torque and great gearing.

Hi Darryl

The site is Manzac Ferme and is highly recommended. It is in the Dordogne and we had superb weather.

If you want any other views just drop me a pm.

Cheers

Our outfit combines a 1991 960 (3ltr) with Abbey Spectrum 520 twin, tows ok but looking to upgrade caravan to something a little lighter as kids getting bigger (x3) still enjoy going on the C&C section holidays.
