Hi

This is my first post in this forum, so I'll start by introducing myself. I'm Alejandro, and I'm totally new to this world. When I was a kid, my parents were about to buy a caravan, and I was very excited about it, but in the last minute they decided not to do it. Since then, I always wanted to try it, and this year finally we bought our first van.

The first weekend out has been this one, we went to Lower Wensleydale. The experience has been great: the kids (2) really love it, my wife was very pleased, and even the dog seemed to be happier. It is a different concept of holidays, even towing the caravan is pleasant. We are that pleased that we are considering spending Christmas in the caravan! (a bit more about it, including many questions, in my second post)

The plan is to try and go out, at least once a month (better twice), so hopefully I will be posting stories, and asking lots and lots of questions, from now on.

In summary, I think the caravaning bug has bitten us, and it is great!

Welcome Alejandro, I think you're going to enjoy it. We only bought our caravan in August and thus far it's been all we could have hoped for and more....wishing you all the best on your new adventure.

PS good things are worth waiting for
