    what a difference

    Just driven my Campmobile with the interior removed,2 things I noticed was how much more spritely it was and also the nose up stance had gone. Makes you realise how much weight we're carrying about,and is it really necessary that the furniture is made of such heavy materials.

    Campmobile curtains/seat covers

    I've found that Franks stocks them,is there anywhere else that does,if not original but are made to measure. At the moment Ive got the old tatty original mustard seat covers and the dark brown curtains (really faded) , also not a complete set.
