Water ingress was one big factor in us changing from a coach build to a van conversion. along with us finding out that part of the coach build structure - where the wall meets the floor in the bathroom - had come apart after just a few months. That's a long wait, @Rosehip. It's reminiscent of the Covid years when parts weren't available. I do hope it's done by 14th 🤞
3M 8 May 8:42pm, 8 May 2025 26,282 posts	Quote Pin 3M I've come to the conclusion that "coach built" is a euphemism for "crap quality control". My "coach built" caravan (sorry, not a campervan but I'm going that way in.my head!) is on it's 4th (I think?) warranty repair- for water ingress/damp in 3 years. Apparently it's difficult to use a mastic gun properly?

It was a nice campsite and I believe their toilet block has been newly done up. Mountain bike trails, cafes, bars and shops accessible from the campsite.

RunningRonnie 9 May 8:32am, 9 May 2025 3,788 posts	Quote Pin RunningRonnie There's a big zipline too if you're feeling adventurous. It's very often closed, so grab the chance if it's open. It was closed when I was there
