Brought ours down home today, we can now keep it at home had a pair of steel gates made and a large area of garden flaged so no more £400 a year storage fees. cant wait to give it a go, brand new 2017 Elddis Crusader
Aurora bought it November but with one thing and another never got off yet, only towed it with SD4 auto from dealers to storage and then down home 10 mile at most so looking forward to a good run, came to a Freelander from a Disco 3 as we did not feel we needed the size of a Disco now, but I am finding myself looking at Disco 4's then saying we dont need one, then looking again and saying they are nice though, it does not help with the wife saying (you will never be happy with the Freelander so lets go and have a look at some) we will see.

Had our first weekend away last month to North Yorks. I always find that first time out something doesn't work. This year it was a leaking water inlet for the aquaroll. Away again next weekend, cant wait to get out there again.

I also moved to a SD Freelander form the a D3, was a good choice. The D3 was a money pit, and I couldn't justify running a D4 when the SD Freelander did what I needed. Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018

Where back the Freelander towed ok, not as stable as my Disco 3 but ok, they do like a drink of diesel though a little disapointed with mpg.

I tow a Bailey Pegasus 514 fully loaded with awning etc , tow with a SD4 and I get 26-27 mpg .. what did you get ? Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Towing Elddis Crusader Aurora 1500kg it did about 24-25 mpg.
