So, another slight update. I've basically been abusing the crap out of it as always, using it to drag a heavy trailer full of my mates shit when he moved house, winter daily, not cleaning it, so here's some photos of it looking grotty and with the tow bar fitted (cheers Danny2009)...

Also, the new tow bar will now have this on it...

It's an Elddis Wisp 350/2, 2 berth with a huge bed, full cooker, big fridge for beer, hot and cold running water, nice hot shower and a cassette toilet, can be towed by pretty much anything as it weighs 680kg, and even has a brown stripe to match the Benz so no more tents for me and more weekends away. Gonna be great at shows seeing everyone drinking warm beer and queuing for toilets and showers. Just needs a battery and an awning, not bad for £450.
As for the future of the Benz, not sure. Fuel economy matters a bit more now I have the caravan, I'd be surprised if I can average 20mpg with this on, and with the MOT running out next month it seems like a good time to get it tested and cash in, then maybe get a 306 again...
