Don't quote me on this but I think that the Camelot can go as far back as whereas the Avalon dates from about The best thing to do is check ebay and used motorhome dealer sites for adverts for both models and compare the specs for the vehicle and the habitation equipment.
Hi RR, Thank you very much for your help. It looks like the Avalon also has double glazed side windows and a different heating system blown air instead of a gas fire also blinds and flyscreens. Not sure if I'm missing anything else. Do you know when the Avalon ceased production. I have googled but can't find any info out there. Does this sound about right. It also seems that rust is quite a big feature on both! I'm struggling to find any in a reasonable distance and don't mind travelling to view but just wanted to do as much homework as possible in advance to try and get the right one at the right price.
Following the withdrawal of the Romans in the mid 5th century, the site is thought to have been in use from then until around AD Archaeological excavations on the site have revealed a substantial building which could have been a Great Hall.
It is also clear that some of the Iron Age defences had been re-fortified, creating an extensive defensive site, larger than any other known fort of the period.
Shards of pottery from the eastern Mediterranean were also found, showing wealth and trade. It therefore seems probable that this hill fort was the castle or palace of a Dark Ages ruler or king. Cadbury Castle is also situated not far from Glastonbury Tor, a location shrouded in mystery and legend. The hill fort is supposedly hollow, and there he and his knights lie, ready until such time as England should need their services again.
Indeed, every Midsummer Eve, King Arthur is supposed to lead a troop of mounted knights down the slopes of the hill. Indeed a 1, year old piece of slate with two Latin inscriptions was found at Tintagel in the late s, which would seem to link Arthur with Tintagel.
Recent excavations have revealed pottery from the 5th and 6th centuries, suggesting that this place was inhabited during the Romano-British period. We cannot be sure. If you are still experiencing issues, please describe the problem below and we will be happy to assist you. Whether you are a dedicated history buff or an incurable romantic, a trip to England is always a treat.
The legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table is alive and well and visiting sites made famous with this legend would make an amazing vacation. You could fly into London and, after a day or two to get your bearings, grab a rental car and head south for a day or two in Glastonbury - the Ancient Isle of Avalon.
