Did you get a mover with it ?  great trade in price !
    We bought a Superstorm 3 years ago , first option I ticked was a mover then the awning , I tried moving the first twin axle we bought without one , knackered my back .
    Great for the kids being able to take all of the kit , we stayed at the Fallbarrow site ( lake district ) in the summer £40 a night , along side the lakeside wooden lodges last one sold £850,000 with £7000 a year site fees .  Guy next to us turned up in his Ferrari 458 with his wife in a new BMW X3 .
    Recommend the BMW towing mirrors they are brilliant , dont vibrate & full vision . Had a cheap version at first  they were rubbish !

The wife wants one even more now she's seen the interior.......

Hobby had some enormous ones at the recent NEC Caravan show.  Ones that go with the reg P1 KEY......

Which Hobby is it?  Just so she can find it in their brochure.  We would gave to put a mover on, and being that we want a twin axle, that means a quad mover!

Very modern looking too.  We are also considering an Elldis as they are now 8' wide which might not sound a lot but it does make a big difference inside.

It's a 650 uff had an elddis but it kept cracking the rear panel and the sides around the windows delaminated all in 3 months elddis where useless and it cost me a fortune to get out of it

A friend has a new Elddis and it's had a rear panel on as well as two hekki roof lights so wouldn't touch one I'm afraid
