Hi Unfortunately, we've got a temporary health issue but it may take a couple of years to solve. So, we've decided to take the Millard Weekender off the road to save money. Hand in the plates. There'll be no problem registering it again. It does serve a purpose for overflow accommodation so we don't wan...
