A very worthwhile cause.

David-&-Mary-Vinall-with-thA few weeks ago, we had a visit from David and Mary Vinall who use their Burstner motorhome as a base to help the charity Link Romania which aims to help poor and needy people in Romania and other East European countries. (Having recently driven in our motorhome through some of these countries, we know that there are a lot of people who are in real need of assistance).

David and Mary’s motorhome is equipped with a Kathrein CAP200 satellite system which was originally supplied by RoadPro in 2003. We’ve updated its software and tweaked it a bit and Dave and Mary still use it on their travels through England, France, Spain and Portugal as well as when they’re parked up in Worthing and helping to get parcels of clothes and other goods to Romania.

You can contact Link Romania via their website: www.linkromania.co.uk.

Caravan & Motorhome Show at the NEC, October, 2009

Caravan Show Oct, 09 NECIt was with a little trepidation that we set out our stall at the recent show. We’d been moved from last year’s spot and we didn’t know whether people would be able to find us. So, we put up our biggest flags and put out a little pile of  Multimo satellite dishes.
We needn’t have worried: almost as soon as the doors opened, we were inundated with customers old and new and things remained pretty much like that for the whole six days. According to the organisers, this was the busiest show yet and, judging by the crowds of people that we saw, we have to agree.

Caravan and motorhome dealers were saying that they were selling literally hundreds of vehicles – maybe the recession really is almost over! And anyway, summer is only a few short months away.

Several people were kind enough to bring packets of sweets as requested in last month’s newsletter – Thank you! – and we gave out several thousand catlaogues. We now have so few left that it will shortly become a collectors’ item (which reminds me, I’d better get started on our 2010 model!)
