Any top tips for a newbie?

And do not rely on others with the checks, especially as we get older, I now check all the cupboards and lockers before shutting the entrance door

You forgot to add - don't press the button before you have lifted the cassette and the nozzle is pointing downwards. 

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the most important tip of all for safe caravanning -

after hitching up, use the jockey wheel to lift up the rear of the car so as to check the caravan is firmly attached.

 

My final tip is there is no need to buy everything new as gas bottles, awnings, aquarolls, wastemasters etc can all be found on Ebay or Marketplace.

Another quite important tip , as many have found when think that will be handy in the LV , we as others have a room or somewhere at home chock full of that sort of purchase 

Hope you enjoy your new hobby😁 Once you have got used to your van, vary your Sites, and consider CLs as well as Club Sites. There are some lovely ones in very nice locations. Lots of variety.😁

Thanks folks, some really good tips here. Some of these mistakes, especially regarding the toilet cassette I would say you only do once 

Good tip with the jockey wheel slot, nobody told me that but it makes perfect sense.

 

It is a hobby isn't it? Not just a means of hollidaying. There is so much to do and maintain around the van. It's going to be quite an adventure.
