My wife Karen and I have recently returned to the UK having spent 12yrs in Cyprus. We liked the thought of caravanning and after much research, visited a dealer to look at some caravans. Some time later we left having paid a deposit on a Bailey Platinum 640! It arrives in a few weeks so looking forward to that (with a little trepidation!) and a new adventure...

Don't bother with a specialised 12 volt one until you have seen how it all works together.
I found that a normal 230v TV is good enough for me as I tend to only visit sites with mains electrics available (EHU = electrical hook up.)
Good luck and enjoy your new hobby.
Posted on 25/01/2019 19:53 by TonyandKarenMThanks. I'll look for one online. Unfortunately we only have one at home and it's a little bit too big for a caravan!
We could do with one that would suit both purposes though.
Posted on 25/01/2019 17:24 by TonyandKarenMThanks. Will keep an eye on it. Scales and noseweight guage in the box.

I think that you should read the discussion in the Tow cars & Towing section with regards to towing capabilities with regards to Kerb weight/caravan weight and carrying items in your tow car. Here's the link (if it works)
