I'm back on here! Cant keep away. Just having a better look at the pics and stories on here. As you'll know I have an Aaro Travella 23" which is in good nick for it's age and I intend to keep it that way! Love caravanning although we've just finished our last holiday for the year in it as the site closes over winter. If it was open in winter i'd go, especially after looking at the winter pics on here!

Hi Gary. Thanks for posting that information. What a great shame to see them close. As you say it will be another little bit of 'trailer history' gone. I will put a 'notice' on the 'whats new' page, cos a lot of people dont read the messages! See you and Carly at Stow. All the best. Ken.

(Posted on 2009-09-05 19:44:00 by ) -
Yes JJ....Ive seen the new Roma obviously, and have to say the build quality is second to none including the pre-finished stage where you cant even see it !!! When I visited the works, Dans team are all dedicated and very enthusiastic about the new trailers and take great pride in what they are producing. There is a highly sophisticated heating system and the 'remote' lighting system is something else!.......... As you say, Dan is building more models with different layouts and a range of 'colour schemes', so Im sure there will be something to suit everyones taste!.

Reply to Chris - I'm not from a gypsy background but i'd happily sell my house for one of those too! If I never had kids I would! As I said before I took up caravanning at about 24 and loved it. The reason I found this site was because I swapped my Swift 4 berth tourer for a Aaro Travells and was looking for insurance details. I was guised here and got everything I needed. I still need to sit and real all the pageds though!
(Posted on 2009-09-04 20:23:00 by ) -
Firstly ken may i say what a truely magnificent site you have created here, i have been looking on here for over a year and it just gets better, i am so fascinated by these trailers, i am not from a gypsy background but am so interested in their way of life, i also love dan's restorations they are, as are all the others on here superb masterpieces and those 2010 roma's wow i would sell my house for one of them but i think the mrs might have something to say about that, one day though
many thanks
chris

Thankyou Steve for your very nice comments. Its always nice to know people are enjoying the site. Im afraid Id never get any 'funding' Im not 'pc' enough LOL.........the only time you will see the word 'Roma' on this website is as the make of a trailer !!! Anyway, I wont get on that soapbox. Ive Just put some great photos on today, so enjoy. By the way 'half' the book is on the pc, just need to get my finger out !!. All the best. Ken.

Hullo, again, Ken. Me again, who e mailed ye earlier in the week about the " Another Buck " shot. Just to recap, publicly, on what I told ye privately, mate; This site of yours is priceless! It really should be getting some support from the Lottery Fund or something. It's a cyber museum of an otherwise completely ignored and ~ would be ~ lost facet of social history, after all.
Please produce The Book, Ken! My 'connection' makes Dial Up look flash. Thus I've spent four days and nights reading every page on here. I'd love to be able to just turn pages, misty eyed and lost in cherished memories; Thundering through Pompey in a Bedford wooden drop sider (" F*** him! He'll get out of the way! " LMAO! My cousin, Ron at the wheel!) The glory Hole. The Rugby Camp. The Airport. Old places. Old friends. Westmoorland's, Buccaneer's ..... Understated, RR quality. Full on, in ye face 'Flash'. Loved it all!
I'm putting a link to ye site where ever I can, mate. People are Loving it! Gave it a rave review on my Blog too ~ Had to explain to my friends where I'd got to! :D
Best of all though; I've seen a big, flash, blue and chrome trailer over here. (I'm now in Co. Leitrim) I've only sped past it, taxi riding to somewhere. But, I'll be taking part of that route this week. I'll tell the driver to keep going till we find that trailer again and I'll try to get some decent photo's for ye ;-)
Hope ye having / had a great weekend. Looking foreward to the photo's! Keep it up, Ken. It truly is appreciated.
Steve.

Hi,
Just found this website and it's BRILLIANT!!
Myself, Husband and kids have been caravanning the last few years and leave our caravans on site all year as we do not drive. To cut a long story short a lady onsite wanted to downsize due to ill health and we wanted to upsize so we finally did the swap yesterday.
I swapped my 1997 Swift Pirrouette for an Aaro Travella 23' 1979 which is in great condition for the age of it and much more space, the kids even have their own room.
I didn't have many details for the insurance such as the full make / model / year etc until I found this site so thanks again Ken and keep up the good work, i'll be a regular visitor!
(Posted on 2009-08-08 10:01:00 by ) -
What a wonderful website, my daughter cassa-roma loves to spend as much time as possible on the roads all of my children are proud of their cultural identity and adore travelling, having recently returned from Appleby she is hoping to buy a roma or similar in which she can do her readings. She is also a professional childrens face painter. we have looked at roma caravans however they seem very long, Ideally it must be towable with shogun sport 2.5 td and lots of chrome and cut glass, only to be used for work, she wants a good one but not too long, is this possible to find a shorter one. I thought we would ask the experts, please contact us if you have anything suitable.

hi ken jus come across ur web site great stuff ! bout time one of "us romanies" got us to remember the good ole days they might av bin hard but they made a certain kinda person who pulled together wen the times were tough, who helped each other thru tough times financially, and in evry way. i remember wen our mam had to go to hospital with tb wen we were just kids dad had an old truck that had a job to pull itself up a hill let alone carry a load ! it was more times pulled over on the side of the road with me poor old dad lying under it covered in grease and oil, we didnt av 2hapnies to rub tog most of the time, good people, the salt of the earth helped us, as we ad helped them, mam left aunt lena (no relation) in charge of us kids she took us out hawking cos if we didnt take a few bob we cudnt go and see mam or feed the little uns. we d be asked once to get up - no joy an ud av the stingin nettles up ur legs! it worked ! thats how we was shaped an im very grateful for that. thank god times r much better now for us all, wish we were a bit more like we used to be tho. hello to all u gypsy people hope you ve a story too, hope you wont mind that ken so nice to be able to chat to our own people. god bless you for your hard work on this site we so need it take care love kathleen xxxx

Hi Kathi. Dont know whats happened to the old photo 'for old times sake' its disappeared somewhere! I'll find the original and put it back on sometime. Sadly ive no idea who the people were in it. Also dont know of a connection to the grave you found, but as you say, not a common name. Thats interesting. Finally Id like a copy of your old 50's photo. Ive sent you an email. Glad youre still enjoying the site.
Best regards. Ken.

2: I have have found the grave of a Mayhew H Smith born 1864 in one of out Western Australian outback towns. I was wondering if there was any conection as Mayhew is not a common name.

What a great site!
I am currently looking to buy a showmans trailer. I am unable to tow and it will be kept static at a local storage site, so it doesn't have to be in excellent condition so long as it is an affordable price. I would like a buccaneer or something very similar with the traditional cut glass features, lots of room and storage. I have a small touring caravan at the moment but now need to use the site more often as I have been unlucky this year to have both of my dogs incur disabilities - one with seizures and one after a critical spinal injury is now making progres in recovering the use of his back legs. I want this type of trailer because it will enable me to stay on site and be able to deal with my dogs recovery. I absolutely adore the showmans trailers and can't imagine anyone in their right mind wanting to neglect or scrap one - that is just such a waste of good workmanship.

What a brilliant site! I bought a buccaneer (1994 i think) last year. Beautiful mirrors, solid units, chandeliers, fireplace (no fire now tho), 4-berth. I absolutely love it. I don't tow - i have it on a seasonal pitch and use it every weekend. I need the little metal part at the end of the side trimming at the bottom of the van. If anyone out there can help, please email me. jenkins851@aol.com. Thank you. Will send pics soon.

Looking at this site has brought back so many good thoughts from my childhood. my Mother was married to one of the shovelbotom shearers decendents from the Godona family. We used to travel round Scotland late 50s to early 70s doing the shows and worked the dodgems etc. We lived in a Vickers and it was as beautiful as the pick`s in this wonderful site. Thankyou for the memories. Thomas McCombe 58yrs
