Very smart.  Wifey wants to know what model it is too as she's looking to buy us one?

Does it come in 'man pink' to go with my X6?

A lot, and it is a Hobby.  Lovely interiors and well made.  A lot of their stuff is too heavy or too long for anyone but the....er......"Tarmac your drive sir?" teams.......

Those that can be towed by an X are well over £35k last time I looked, some a LOT more.

Still nice kit though.

Joking aside, it was a loaded question as I'm sure the plan is to tow with the X, however it will be illegal as once the body is over 7m it requires a vehicle with a max weight limit of 7.5t or greater, ie a small lorry. Even Transits, Sprinters aren't allowed to tow these legally.  Now that said, I could be mistaken but it does look like one of the bigger Hobby models from the picture. While on the subject, you must also have mirrors fitted that can clearly see down the entire side of the caravan.

Hi yes it's a new premium cost  £23k

It's our second premium the last one was 3years old it was fantastic and this ones even better

Looking forward to next year just got to get the awning sized up

Think the picture makes it look huge but it's not even the biggest there are two bigger ones available  one being 9.5 m long

as you should be

so what does it cost per week to pitch up on a site or do you just disused carparks?
