New years eve away. And we've made a decision about the caravan.

[@caravanningmacs8009]

Hi Deb and Tony. Enjoyed your New Year trip - lot of fun in spite of the weather ! Quite right to insist on holding on to your van until the new one looks like arriving. No reason why you should be left without a van just because it might suit the dealers. Hope it all goes smoothly and looking forward to seeing it when it arrives. Take care. George and Trish - CaravanningMacs

[@thecaravanaddys]

Thanks George & Trish. hope you're both well 👍

[@caravanningmacs8009]

@@thecaravanaddys No worries. We're fine thanks. Take care. G&T

[@paulpringle8263]

Hi both. Don’t blame you for keeping the van till you get the new one. What ever happens if the dealer has it or you sell it I’m sure it won’t loose value. Have a happy new year. See you in a bit 👍 Paul & Deb

[@thecaravanaddys]

Happy New year Paul&Deb 👍 c u in a bit ☺

[@markcripps149]

Happy New Tony and Deb just to inform you that have been to deliver parts to swift and coachman works in Hull pleased to report loads of caravans ready for delivery 😀

[@thecaravanaddys]

Happy new year Mark 👍 that's brilliant news hopefully we get ours on time ☺

[@TheBeckwiths]

Think you have made the right choice, if you was part exchanging a car you wouldn't give it to the dealer until your new one arrived. Happy New Year

[@thecaravanaddys]

Happy New year 👍

[@cgrexy]

Good choice not handing the caravan in before your new one comes. Can’t help thinking the dealers wanted both end of a deal for them and to make money on the sale and then more money on the trade in. Can only see more delays on new vans this year because of labour issues and isolating.

[@thecaravanaddys]

That's exactly why we're keeping hold of it 👍

[@neilgregory5380]

Happy new year to you both, are caravan dealer has said we can keep our caravan until our new one arrives as they can’t guarantee build and arrival date.

Happy new year Neil 👍

Happy new year. Just got back from donkey creek 29th to the 2nd mostly full in old area and about 15 caravans/motor homes in new area too , looks like just a few bits to finish off,had a look at your pitch as im sure you said 51? im wandering too if they are building another shower block to cope with the volume . Good luck for march going seasonal there 👍

[@thecaravanaddys]

Hi happy new year Darren 👍 yeah they are building a new shower block. We're really looking forward to March and trying seasonal.

[@stephenclark4784]

Firstly Happy New Year. The right decision we traded our old van and ended up being van less for 10 weeks and this was not for a new van. They said they needed it so they could do a service and check the old van out. I thought when they checked mine out I would get the new one in a week it took 8 to prep the one we were buying

[@thecaravanaddys]

Happy New year Stephen 👍 that's exactly why their not having it.

[@vicdunni]

Absolutely the right decision as could be delays with the new one. Seasonal pitch also a brilliant idea, much more relaxing. Have a fab 2022 x

[@thecaravanaddys]

Thanks Vicki you too 👍

[@KimandWayneAdventures]

Happy new year folks. It’s a bit naughty expecting you to give up your caravan not knowing when the new one is ready, good for you, you’re making the right decision 👍😊Kim

Good move on holding on to your van was told Swift & Coachman we’re struggling with their 2022 orders due to a fire in Cotingham at their shower tray supplier so who knows when you’ll get your new van You lot certainly know how to put on a good spread the roast dinner and NYEve buffet looked lovely happy new year to you all

Happy New Year to you both. Can't agree more with your decision! We were at Donkey Creek (Poulton bloke! remember?) and the guy behind us had just got his Elddis and was using it for the first time - 14 months late!! Same could happen with Swift.Hasn't there been a fire at a supplier of shower units?? Really enjoy your videos - especially the 'on site' ones! Keep 'em coming and let us know what happens.See you at Tourfest!

[@HowardB54]

Happy New Year to you both ! Def right decision - the way the dealer situation is - pulling out of shows due to stock shortage, they will struggle to meet orders and March delivery is over optimistic. SL caravans would take yours and have it sold in days and someone else gets the benefit while you are sat at home with no van !! Didn’t realise you were going seasonal - Donkey Creek? - Are you giving up touring then? All the best for 2022 and many thanks for all your vlogs and great entertainment. Best wishes Howard & Sandra x

[@thecaravanaddys]

Hi Howard yes we're going on Donkey creek for 12 mths to see if we like it. We will still be vlogging, we will just have to work harder at finding content to video 🙈. Happy New year 👍

[@jasondownes151]

Hi looking at getting a caravan for the family ...how much would a seasonal pitch be roughly..I guess that means the caravan and awning can stay on same pitch all year and you can just turn up when you want

[@thecaravanaddys]

There usually about 3,000. But yeah the Awning and everything stays set up and you just roll up whenever you want.

Happy New Year to you both great vlog as usual . So your buying a new caravan and going seasonal? Wouldn’t the caravan you have now be good for seasonal as it will be static for most of the time . Or is your seasonal ware you can take your caravan of when you want and bring it back when you want . And what about storage site? 👍😀

[@thecaravanaddys]

Yea Ken we can take it of when we want but probably won't as there is so much to do close by there's no need and our storage yard are that good with us we have sorted things out with them, the van we have is perfect but we always said this would be our last van to buy so got to get it perfect which we think we have, thanks Ken 👍

[@bigboybazza2001]

happy new year to you both ,do you really want to change your caravan why change something that works for you.

The swift sprite is perfect but a little to small as we always go away with family and friends and do a lot of cooking for everyone Happy New year bazza 👍
