I have been camping a long time and using a trailer tent and folding camper for the last few years, so lots of aspects of using a caravan are familiar. Have now purchased an Abbey Alliance 1998 (basically similar to the Warwick if I am reading the paperwork correctly) . We haven't had chance to take it out yet, just had things checked over. So we arrive at Carsington Water (Blackwall Plantation) on Monday for our first trip. If anyone notices us - very easy to spot 2 black greyhounds, one now only has 3 legs and my daughter has pink hair! If we're looking frustrated or confused feel free to offer assistance :D It will be gratefully received. I didn't think a 'van this age would have such an amazing level of equipment and I am not confident I will remember how to do everything. Other than that feel free to come and say hi anyway. Any tips before we go also gratefully received :D
