Today we

[Bookend]

Went to Apollo to pick the fabric colours for the demountable.

I also managed to get a few pictures of it in the build program.

May be ready by next weekend.

I know you like pics so here you go

[zildjian]

Well, IF you have it on Saturday,
Join me and Andy here

It's not far from you either

[Bookend]

Would love to but not sure what time we will be back then we have to load everything into it before we're ready for a trip out.

I'll see how we get on.

I'll have confirmation by Tuesday if it will be ready.

Looks good. What is your impression of the factory? Modern & professional or old school.
BTW.. Have you spoken to Apollo about our site/forum?
We could do with getting them onboard, and as the UKs primary demountable owners forum, their marketing guys should really be getting involved here.

I bet you are getting really excited about your'e new toy, i would be. Are you having a solar panel fitted, i noticed the box. Seeing what looks like two other units being built, could you ask if Apollo if they have a record of how many Demountables that they have built over the years?

[Bookend]

We are rearly looking forward to getting it now.

They were building a single cab model and the third one was a custom build for someone to fill with IT equipment while on the move.

I'll pass the details of the forum into them and ask if they will get involved.

Im sure they will know how many they have built. When we were ordering ours they said they build one a week in the season which surprised me.

The workshop is very old school but I gues it does the job and they are all hand built.

[mjb666]

They have been going for quite a while, i did visit about six years ago and they said something similar, just surprised that you don't seem to see many out and about on the roads?

[Bookend]

We have been caravanning for 12 years and have only seen two on a site .

Have never seen one on the road.

And the solar panel isn't ours it will be a later edition if we get on with the concept.

[mjb666]

In the five and a half years of owning our Demountable, i have seen one on the road and one on a site but there does seem to be a bit more interest over the last couple of years and obviously this Wonderful Club and Forum is doing its bit. Lets hope the Social really gets things going.

Did you specify any 'Special' features on the new unit or is it a standard off the shelf design? North/South bed layout, extra cupboard space, etc?

[Peaky]

It's looking good Steve,
I've only ever seen a couple on the road despite my 30k + miles per year.
So it'll be Great to see your shinny new demountable at the Social in June + another 12 & maybe more
