Hi to all,
My wife and I have just bought our first caravan and looking forward to many family memories being made with our 6 year old twins. I haven't been in a touring caravan since family holidays as a child in the 70's so have been pleasantly surprised at how far they've come since then.
I was rather less keen than my wife, not because I don't like caravan holidays but because I'm the one who'll have to tow it.
We haven't actually used it yet, it's been returned to the dealer for a minor issue with the hitch handle not locking in the up position and while a little research has suggested this isn't a problem that would stop us from using it I'd rather get it checked out and fixed than turn up on a site and not be able to unhitch, as we found when we got it onto the driveway after picking it up.
We're off on holiday overseas next week so won't be using the van until September but we're hoping to get a couple of weekends away this year before fully committing next year.
It's nice to be here and any and all advice is welcome.
Alan & Charley.
