THE FUTURE... 2009 sees my 40th Anniversary, as company As NCC members Leisuredrive models are also under NCC chairman I am in semi-retirement, although still fondly watching over inspection (the most prestigious badge that can be applied to any my (baby) and actively involved in new design and improvement to campervan today concerning safety). existing models (constant improvement) as always been the Leisuredrive policy. The company reins are firmly in the hands of Jennifer Seddon (Managing Director). And of our wonderful staff, several have been with us over 25 years and 3, namely Paul Hewitt, Barry Roberts and Steve Latchford over 30 years. I believe this continuity between my staff and myself for all these years has lead to the brilliance and excellence of the design and manufacture of the Leisuredrive product, also assisted by the fact that from the chairman down we are all avid motorcaravan users and enthusiasts, which in my opinion assists greatly with the perfection and practicality of our Motorcaravans. This is confirmed by the number of returned customers we have and a wall full of thank you letters.
Who could have seen this in that spring of 1968!

If a fuse blows first investigate the cause, when found replace the fuse with exactly the same type as the original. Under no circumstances attempt to fit a higher value fuse than the original. It is important to remember that a fuse never blows without reason and the cause of blowing should always be ascertained before the circuit is used again. A feature of the zig panels is that they allow all other circuits to function normally in the event of a fault in one circuit.
