Just returned from five nights at Durham Grange CMC site.
It was originally to have been Hawes CMC site but heavy snow was forecast for there and as the approach is via narrowish lanes we decided to swap venue.
Mind you we had our fair share of bad weather in Durham but fortunately no lying snow.
When we arrived it was like a Unicorn 3 convention,there were eleven on site including ours,just goes to show how popular these vans were.
Incidentally was talking to a chap on an adjacent pitch who had a Unicorn 4,he told me that to get a TV bracket fitted to it was over £100,and that is just for one,if you want another for the bedroom side of the fridge it is of course double that.
Not so easy to fit yourself evidently as you have to drill at precise points according to a template to fit the bracket.
Why Bailey scrapped the fitting in the U3 I don't know,great bit of kit IMHO.
Anyway,well pleased with the Cadiz on our first trip of the season,nil to report all systems functional.
With reference to my previous post regarding collapsed axles David Mantell,one of my correspondents,suggested that perhaps it would be best to measure clearance when the van was loaded.
Had a go at this whilst we were out and all appears to be in order fortunately.
