14' Series Hi All.

[JBTZ14]

Hi everyone, after a 3 month wait we picked up our new 14.44.4 last Wednesday and headed off for our first trip to break it in. Few issues along the way but happy to report they are fixed now thanks to some very helpful caravan shop owners.
Have been reading this forum for the past few months and it has been a huge help. Hopefully now we have our van we can post some helpfull tips too.

Welcome @JBTZ14

We have a 14.44-4 as well and love it!
Going to ask you for some more pics if you don't mind...
Would you be able to post up of how they beefed up the rear bar to take the weight of the tyre and how the wheel is mounted and also how they mounted your bike racks. We were told that would have massive bolts and steel plates seen inside from the bike rack so decided not to do it.

Thanks.

BJ.

Ok will do give me a few days and I'll get back to you. The bike rack mounts look fine they are covered up by two white covers and the wheel you can't see its mounted on the rear wall not on the bar I'll get the photos done soon.
