I also agree it was a poor showing at the NEC for the Orion as well. We love our van, although we are new to caravanning and were initially considering a much older van we bought the Orion new as it met all of our requirements so well. It would be a shame if they discontinued such a good little van. We have been asked several times for a tour inside and one lady even likened it to the Tardis as so much fits inside the seemingly small outer shell.<br /><br />I treated us to some red stripe Corelle from the NEC and an Alko handle for the jockey wheel to pull the van around easier but that was all we bought. People did not seem to be buying much, saw loads leave with just one or two bags, sign of the times perhaps.<br /><br />Teddy.Teddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943307781744486916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451243486060034638.post-33693177934166356452012-10-23T20:06:19.334+01:002012-10-23T20:06:19.334+01:00Yes one of the Orions we saw was at Chatsworth whe...Yes one of the Orions we saw was at Chatsworth where there were numerous Unicorns.<br /><br />Have only ever seen two "on the road" and another shares our storage but yes they appear to be a rare breed indeed.<br /><br />They seem to attract attention though,we have had requests to look round the van more than once and when it is parked at home prior to going away all the neighbours want a look.<br /><br />IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868150092439109539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451243486060034638.post-55746813263488052362012-10-23T19:53:40.739+01:002012-10-23T19:53:40.739+01:00I would agree with your 'survey' results, ...I would agree with your 'survey' results, on our travels the order of popularity certainly appears to be Pegasus, Olympus, Unicorn then Orion which I find strange (but I am a biased 450/5 owner!). However we did come back to our van once this summer at Chatsworth to find it surrounded by 3 other Orions!ninesquaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743783073113634347noreply@blogger.com
