Our Devon

[Herbenny]

This is our van and can honestly say I wouldn’t change it for anything … drives lovely, is comfortable and we just love everything about it.
Four years we have had it and we made lots of changes ..It’s a Devon Monte Carlo …

Looks good and homely. Also have a Devon (Arizona). A new conversion into 1. yr old van in 2019 for v reasonable price, especially by today's standards. Never thought we'd be happy with any replacement for our old Murvi, but this front lounge Devon may be even better.

 

[Robmac]

It's a cracker Jaq.

It’s great Rob it just works well for us … when either of us is in the dog house (usually top tosser) they sleep of the sofa. We got a big awning too so that for when he’s been really really bad

That’s good although they are compact they can still be really comfortable .. had six sitting round a table one night and sixteen having a party (not that kind of party)

Very similar layout to our van Jaq and it works well for us too.

Julie wants a decent awning fitted next.

Hope Julie is doing well Rob ..
We got dometic rally air 280 … only needs five puffs and it’s up. Then he has to have a doombar and a sleep

Very nice van that, Jac

Do you have any pictures of the awning from outside Jaq?

 

[Herbenny]

Yes I can find some for you Rob, it fits in the van well (Renault) … slight problem when opening and closing the side door as it leaves scuff mark but we are going to glue a cut out sponge onto air pole … I’m sure there is a specific piece of kit you can get for this but a 50p sponge will do the job.

Ours is a Renault as well Jaq, I presume you can still fully open the sliding door?

Thanks for the reply.

 

[Herbenny]

Yes you can still open it but just needs a bit of care - this is only one I could find which doesn’t help you really … we bought an ex display one but for the Renault masters they are spot on

Look a nice van

Lovely van!

Rob here’s the awning up at weekend - as you can see the awning not straight or up right as top tosser realised we don’t have pegs to go into hard shingle anyway you can get the idea

Thanks Jaq.

Whilst away with Chris, Dawn and Annie this week, Annie pointed out a Fiamma Caravan Store awning on another van at the site. It's one of those which is in a bag and you slide it onto the track before leaving home.

Anyhoo, it got Julie's approval and I've now ordered one, it's much lighter than the wind out type and you can get side and front panels to enclose it fully.

They look good Rob and have to say this air awning is a beast to cart around it’s so heavy. So that’s a much better option.
Now you got me thinking
