Claire I've got a 'where in the UK are you' thread running on the discussions tab. So far I appear to be the only Geist owner in the whole of North Yorkshire...

Here is a link to the questionnaire. You will need to download it, complete it, save it and email it back to me at marketing@geistforlife.com if you would like to give us your views on the owners club. Thanks!


Claire Dear all. Don't worry, I have got the message! I know that you've been asking for some help setting up an owners club for ages and, with one thing and another, it's never happened. We ARE serious about getting this up and running I promise. I've posted a more comprehensive note on the discussions board


Paul Watson Ok got the van xk 535 in now having a shake down trip its strange how the bed slats dont extend the full length of the bed seems to be about 2 short checked under its fully extended.The aircon uses some juice will have to make sure hook ups can take seems great van so far for 50% less than uk equivalent


Claire OK everyone - Facebook is being temperamental - I know that I have the page set so that fans can upload pics but it's not working for some reason - any advice welcomed! In the meantime it appears that you can use this status/wall function to attach a photo - there should be the word 'attach' beneath the typing box with a picture of a photo and a video camera. Hopefully this will do in the meantime until I work out what's wrong with the album function!




Paul Watson collecting a geist 535xk from elite caravans on wed 24th is there anything to look out for.Has anyone had the Truma E2400 heater fitted


Paula Cook Picking up the new caravan in the morning, we're so excited, planned our first little trip away mext weekend, locally in Shrewsbury.

Hello! I have the page set so that fans can upload photos - so I'm not sure why you can't. What do you get when you try? Does it let you create a photo album?


Cathy Baker HI, We have just become owners of a Geist XK535 - never caravanned before but loved it first time we saw it - taking it on our first outing next weekend..any tips?
Geist Direct at 2:10pm June 16
Hi Cathy, Claire here. I'm a newbie too, so all advice from Geist veterans welcomed! We managed not to blow anything up on our first two trips, although we set off from the first one with the rooflight open and were serenaded with pipping horns for a couple of miles down the A66 until we finally managed to lip-read messages from passers by!
My tip - BIG GLOVES for emptying the toilet canister :-)

Thanks Penny, really good advice. I'm going to book on a towing course when I get time. At the moment my husband does all the towing but it would be nice to know what to do, just in case I ever need to!


Susan Serle We have had our Geist 535 for three years now, we have no problems with it, we love the layout and the lovely large bathroom!!!!!


Geist Direct Been trying to post a 'hello' on the UK campsites website forum but the blinkin thing keeps giving me an error message. I managed one reply but then it keeps crashing on me. grrrr.
Geist Direct at 2:14pm June 16
solved it! thanks for the tip Penny, I doubt I'd have realised it unless you'd told me. I just kept cursing the computer!


Paula Cook
Picking our new Geist Signature up on the 20th June, we can't wait!
Its our first caravan, always been keen campers in a tent before but the British weather has finally got the better of us, anyway we work hard so deserve a bit of luxury and the new caravan is certainly that....and more!
Geist Direct at 2:13pm June 16
Hi Paula, good stuff! I bet you'll love it - my friends were tent campers but got 'caravan envy' during a particularly cold weekend on a campsite - they're converts now! bw Claire (I never know who I'm logged in as!)


Jennifer Bashford We have recently bought an AK495 and LOVE it!!
Geist Direct at 1:28pm June 5
Hi Jennifer - excellent news! Where have you been in it?
Geist Direct at 11:40am June 8
We just had a week at Brean Sands and managed to get all of that lovely weather - I'm hooked!


Geist Direct Just to update you - we ARE getting the owners club sorted. It's taking a while at our end as we're having to write to everyone via snail mail as only a few have given us email addresses. Also we only have details if they bought from Geist rather than a dealer so please email me your details to be added to database marketing@geistforlife.com thanks Claire


Geist Direct Well I have taken the plunge and bought a Geist too! An LV550 Caravan which we tested out in Keswick last weekend. First time caravanners despite working with them for years and we loved it. Daughter Chloe had her first birthday party in it and we've booked our next trip already! Claire


Geist Direct Our facebook page occasionally takes on a mind of its own and won't play. I haven't been able to use the comment function for over a week but it's appeared again - thank heavens and sorry for neglecting you!
Geist Direct at 2:09pm May 8
Hi Penny - sorry for taking ages on this - facebook challenges! Thanks for updating on the tyre issue, much appreciated!


Penny
Re tyres on Geist, we checked ours and had small cracks appearing.
Camper UK gave us the information to contact Matador UK who put us in touch with their UK distributor Tyre Line. We were very impressed with how quickly they were able to get new tyres to ATS for us. Thank you to everyone concerned.
