Hi everyone we (Andy & Caroline) have just bought a Bailey Pageant Monarch 7 series. We were delighted to see it had electric lights unlike the gas lamps which illuminated our Sprite Musketeer back in 1981! In truth we only had the Sprite for a couple of years before transferring to a Conway trailer tent. This we used a little more often but generally holidayed with Eurocamp while the children were growing up.

Now as we approach retirement we are looking forward to taking long weekends in those places we've always said we should visit while getting familiar with our new equipment before we venture across the channel for longer breaks.

Christmas seems to have come early here as boxes containing a kettle, coffee maker, smoke alarm and other essential stuff keep arriving. Still by the Spring we should be all geared up and have a list of club sites to head for. Hopefully meeting new friends as another life chapter begins.

Welcome to the forum. You are not alone in having had a gas mantle as we did have a Piper with one but as we also had a flourescent tube the gas was usually more trouble than it was worth.
