Just ordered Fairford at NEC

Hi, hope someone can enlighten me - just been emptying our Autocruise Alto having ordered a new Fairford. Can someone tell me if there is a bin in the Fairford? Also, where do people store chocs for easy access? Also, we take wind break and  washing line when we go on long Europe trips - but I think they will be too long to go under beds - any suggestions welcome!
Many thanks, looking forward to April when we collect, before heading off to Croatia for 5 weeks in our new van!

See attached, mines a Duo not a Fairford, but, I assume similar?

Hi 
Welcome to the forum from sunny Bridlington, I had a good look at a 16 reg Fairford yesterday. nice van,longer than our Warwick duo, should have plenty of storage.

Yep, bags of storage. You just need to fine tune it to suit yourself.

Hello and welcome to this most friendly and informative forum.

I'd eat the chocs, and the washing line can always be rolled up.. Sorry, couldn't resist..
Seriously, I'd dump the windbreak with long poles, we carry a very neat one, Coleman I think, with sectional poles, it all folds into a bag which is about 15 inches long.
For a washing line, we carry just that, a 30 foot line with a stainless carabina on each end. Even if there are no convenient trees, it can always be strung up round the van's awning and hooked on the mirrors.

Or, simply, don't fill it full of cr8p you don't actually need!!!

Wheel ramps in the shower ready to grab in the dark on arrival, no bin unfortunately ours is very small between the drivers and passenger seat. Because the drivers seat becomes a backrest for the dinette the drivers seat and footwell also becomes storage.

That is a remarkably short period for delivery of a new van unless it is already in a Dealers stock.

Excellent choice ! Long stuff in the aisle moving to under van when parked up. Same for ramps. For us.....most important is wine storage lol. In a crate , moves to outside when parked. In winter we don’t carry or driveaway awning, so store all our bedding in its space under rear sofa. Lots of space in there if packed well.

Wardrope we use for stuff we need to keep handy on arrival at sites....hookup, hose , bucket etc, still loadsa room for other stuff.

You’ll figure it all out and you will love it and have amazing times!

No bin though

Thanks everyone, just got to wait til April to collect it now - will probably have more questions then (if not before!)

Without risking 'telling you how to suck eggs', I would seriously consider a week away, to rattle out any faults,  before heading off on a long trip to Croatia.
