Skip find on holiday

[beko1987]

Well, the panasonic is at home and upstairs awaiting something to do with it. Mums complaining about the DC05 so I'll try her with it, but she doesnt like uprights



Tesco bagged value vacuum. OK for hard floors, pretty crap for anythinge lse. It's only good feature was it didnt fall over as you pulled it around, stayed nice and level, and the cord rewind was great!



And the pana. It worked really well, I quarter filled a new bag (found the box in the skip the next day, it was taken away friday morning, so good job I did! (That's also when they told us off for removing temporary posts and parking next to the caravan to loadup, but we had finished anyway!)

Wish I 'd taken a Junior though, the carpet would have come up brilliantly with one!

Didn't use the Z61 in the end, it went back in the car and is now back under the bed.

If you want another of those Panasonic Uprights, let me know.


Those Tesco Vacs aren't bad, pick the bits up like.

Also what a lovely caravan you have!

Beko is staying in a Static Caravan on a large communal park, near a holiday park which we call Pontins in the UK. Beko's caravan is not driven like yours in the US - its moved with a lorry and then parked up permanently and hired out to families throughout the holiday periods of summer. Here's an example of a Static like Beko is staying in:

Looks pretty similar to some of ours- sans wheels. We have Motorhomes which are self powered and are driven like a large car, and Trailers which are pulled behind a truck (lorry).

Yep, we were next door to Pontins at the park resorts place. I think the skip had been used to clear out a hjome after it was vacated, was lots of other bites in there too.

They were being moved about all week on low loader trucks, deffo no way of towing oneà

I think the 'standard' size for a 'static' trailer on a U.S. RV park is 70'X14'... These are smaller, probably about 50'X10', but otherwise much the same. The main difference is that here you are usually kept awake at night by the near-constant rain drumming on the roof... ;-)

All best
