Well, here we are in August.

After a long haul up the M40 & M6 with our old Abbey County 'van, we finally collected our new Lunar Cosmos 464 from Campbells in Preston.

Wow what a difference in todays specification, control panel that knows when it's connected to mains or battery, ATC & stabiliser, blown hot air heating, even in the shower!! huge roof lights, tv aerial fitted, gas take off for the BBQ, plenty of storage and a microwave as well.

After the tour, showing us all the bells & whistles, we were off for two days at Royal Umpire Caravan Site to enjoy the new van, and get the porch awning sorted.
All setup in an hour or so, and so much more space, so a good move on our part. 
Although recent reviews of this site are pretty negative, we found it to be fine, pitches of a decent size and the showers clean.

The difference in towing the Lunar compared to the Abbey is noticable, with the braking a bit disconcerting to start with.

Great couple of days, and an uneventfull trip back south on the M6 toll road.
