Retreat Caravan - Tunnel Boot Dimensions
Permalink  

Hoping that you Retreat Caravan owners may be able to help me with a little information. My darling wife is buying me a Weber Baby Q (High Top) for my birthday and I want to be able to store this in the tunnel boot of the Retreat Hamilton that we have on order but I am not sure that it will fit.

Could anyone tell me what the dimensions of the tunnel boot is for a Retreat Caravan ??

Cheers,

John

There are heaps of access doors here When you click on the individual items they show the dimensions. If you can identify the exact door you can get the size from that page.

Hi John,
I know that Retreat use a couple of different sizes of tunnel boot, I think the one you get depends on whether your van has a front boot or not.

We own a Retreat Brampton, and it has the narrow tunnel boot which is 455mm wide, and about the same high. Our Webber baby q high top fits easily.

Good luck with your Hamilton, it is a lovely van.

Thanks PeterD and Plendo. Sounds like I will have to wait until they re-open for business to get the dimensions. Plendo, my van on order has the front boot.

Cheers,
John

 We have a Retreat Fraser with front boot.  The dimensions are 420 x 420mm which is between the sealing lips.  The actual boot is larger than this but the lips limit how large an object goes into ti.

We always take our Hi-Top Weber but it rides in the ute tub.

Obviously this information was of no interest to JackLC.

Why waste time with replies?

Take it easy. It may be simply that the OP has not been online over the Christmas break. smile

 His last visit was yesterday (28th) morning.

This is not the only time I (for one) have gone out of way to provide an answer to a question and not get the dignity of a simple 'thanks'.

 Same here Neil, there are some users who get the info they want after asking a question and do not bother acknowledging the info given.

I suspect some post the same question on a number of forums and if they get what they want don't bother returning to the others they have posted the same question, not saying this is the case here though.

Has happened a number of times to me also, including not answering polite pm's.    Just common courtesy which seems to be lacking with some.  I'll crawl back into my hole now.....evileye

Hi all,

Extremely sorry that I have not had the opportunity to reply but I have not been online for a few days due to other matters. So sorry if you think that I was rude or inconsiderate of your advice.

Regards,
John
