New setup on the road......
...and not bad looking either, I like the fact the black and silver of the D3 is echoed in the livery of the 'van.
Pleased with how it felt on the road , although 220kg heavier and a few feet longer, it felt so much nicer on the road than our old single axle unit.

Nice one looks to be the swift equivalent of our sterling 650 we had.
Nice van nothing fell off, served us well for 3 years MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)

Nice looking set up that. I'm toying with the idea of moving from a single axle 'van to a twin axle, just need a kick up the a**e. Mines. 20 years old now so need a change.

Is this turning into a Cadac breakfast thread, if it is, here's my attempt:
That looks rather like a Bailey Senator Wyoming Series 5.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

I agree it does look like a Bailey Senator which is the same one I have it tow's great but that is due to the length as well as the twin axle which cuts down on snaking like you would get with a van that was the same length and weight but only one axle, I use to have a trailer tent that use to snake all over the road which was due to the short length and the light weight I decided to try and modify it so I could carry my sailing dingy on it I fitted two rear corner posts and a single front post along with short ramps to help get the dingy up onto the top of the trailer it worked out great but it looked like I would have to increase the tyre pressure as they looked like they were almost flat so I decided to fit a second axle which took a bit of guess work to get both wheels under the mud guard but in the end I got them in the correct position then took it out for a run when it only had one axle it use to snake about once I hit the 50 mph but with the extra axle no matter what speed I took it to it would not snake at all which I was very happy with.
Sorry I got off track once I start I tend to ramble on.
Regards Poppy Ann.
Likewise changed earlier this year to a twin axle. Newer, bigger & a better layout for us. Build quality not as good as our previous & much older Bailey, colour coding easier for me.
