Equipment

We are constantly asked what equipment, cars ,caravans we use. To be honest we have owned just about every 4x4 on the market at one time or another. We have owned every type of camper/folding caravans....etc etc. What makes are the best? There is no firm answer to this as I can only comment on what suits my type of camping best.
Our current caravan is the one that we have owned the longest. When we heard that Avondale were in financial trouble we dashed out and bought one. We have owned an Avondale before and they simply do what they say on the box. No fancy gadgets to go wrong. Well put together and very practical and serviceable. I have looked at new models by different manufacturers and I despair. They are not designed by people who caravan! Far too flimsy with far too many gadgets.
Cars. We travel approx 18000 miles a year with the caravan. We sold our last x trail as it had a very high mileage.
We have never owned or even considered a Korean car before. We had vaguely heard of the name Ssang Yong. We test drove the new Kor ando and were fairly impressed. When we were told that there was a five year unlimited mileage warranty on the v vehicle we went for it and wow! Up and down mountains, all different terrains and still it gave us 38 mpg with a caravan on the back! Koran do apparently means can do' and at the moment  we believe them! My next car will definitely be a ssang yong!
