Hi people,

I`m Dave and the last..... (No sorry, wrong club!)

I`m very happily married to Jules, and after 4 years of umming and arring we have finally purchased our first Caravan!! 

To be honest the straw that broke the Camels back is the insessant screaming, crying, shouting, arguing and all night BBQ`s from neighbours on all sides.

Jules and I have stressful jobs and we just cant relax at home, So we did it, we collect the van on saturday, a very clean and tidy Swift Conqueror 580 SAL, we shall be having a trial weekend out in Bridgnorth the weekend after, and in September we have booked a week at Ramsdale in Devon, together with our daughter, grandaughter and Daizy our cocker spaniel.

Cant tell you how excited we are.

Anyhoo, Hi to everyone, and please brace yourselves for a barrage of newbie type questions.

( I aplogise before hand, as this is a new beginning for us, and we`re totally, totally inexperienced!)

See you around  Laughing

Good luck Dave and family, happy days ahead! (We once had neighbours like that, every weekend, no peace at all!!) Wink

Jules and I are over the moon about it, and the stigma attached to the awning erecting??? No worries, Jules and I never argue! .............. Sealed
