Good morning Graham,
firstly can I thank you for your excellent website, which is mainly responsible for saving my caravan fro being a hen house or worse.
An elderly resident who lives at the opposite end of the island offered me the caravan for use as a feed store or hen house as he wanted rid of it. To be honest I wasn't that keen as I've got quite enough rubbish on my croft as it is. As I thought his main reason for offering it me was so I'd remove it with my Land Rover I went to have a look at it, I was not impressed. It was covered in moss, the toilet window was broken and all the louvre's glued shut with black polyurethane. The front window had a huge perspex sheet covering and it was broken.
I told him I didn't want it but would remove it and tow it to the ferry for him, I was surprised by the fact that all the brakes worked as did the lights and when I got there it looked a whole lot better in the sunlight.
I know nothing about caravans but upon closer inspection was amazed to see a proper wooden floor and a quality of workmanship normally associated with craftsmen and not a production line. A quick Google revealed your site and a wealth of info, I was hooked :-)
That was three summers ago and we are about to embark on our fourth, Life at the end of the road means that we only get away three or four times a year but we've had some great times in her and look forward to many more.
Cheers, Paul

Message: Hello, I am the very proud owner of a 1964 Glendale which has been in the family since new. It has an early Rubery Owen Chassis. Several years ago one of the brake cables snapped (badly adjusted by me). I had a spare, but had some new ones made (just in case) They would only set up for a minimum of six so I now have 5 new spares and a used one which is ok.Somebody out there may have had my problem so i'm happy to let some go at what they cost me (£15 ea) +P&P.ps I love my Glendale and wouldn't part with it for a new 'box'.
Nice Website! I've had the van since '74 when my Mom died. She had it from new in 1964 and collected it from the factory in Falkirk. , Cheers, Graham Collins

Message: You may know me better as ianork on the UKCampsite forums.Just wanted to say what a delightful and fascinating site you have.
I see the T-Lines seem to come on the scene at reasonable money(one in Scotland now!)
Can they be towed by a modest vehicle.
----------
Most Thomson's can be towed with a standard 1.6 litre saloon, the smallest was designed to be pulled by a 1000cc Austin Mini.

Message: I have tried to get info on our caravan that we used when I was a child in the 70s. I think it was a thomson glen, which unfortunately isn't featured in your pages and it was pre 1979. This was however a good reference point.
