First time caravaning

Well, due to the covid 19 we had to cancel our defected holiday to croatia. We decided to buy a caravan, but realised i hadn't towed before.  Looking forward to the day we went away but apprehensive about towing, it wasn't too bad. First trip was to bournemouth, a 225 mile trip, stopping once in the services just to check over the caravan and wheels. Once on site reverse parked the caravan, remember never towed before i managed to land it in position.  Setting up was more difficult remembering what the guy had showed us when picking the caravan up. Im sure the water pump was that noisy. First night in the van, basically we was melting! Had set the heating too high. Never thought caravans would get that warm.  Were now half way through the holiday and thought to join a couple of clubs.. this one included. So, so far so good! Sorry if ive bore everyone reading, thought id share my first experience.
