We've only gone and done it. After several years of looking (3 NEC shows), researching, thinking and talking about it we pickup our caravan on the 15th. Steep learning curve ahead which starts the weekend after with our first (very local) trip.

Hi and welcome.. better late than never they say! 

The learning is not too bad - so try not to feel too overwhelmed by it. ps When we first got our van i hadn't any real experience at all - and within three months i had towed to the South of France..! 

Enjoy your hop's :)

Been on CT a while, massive source of knowledge and information, it's been a fantastic help already.

Thanks MHG.

First hop a massive 7 miles from home, week later I'm off to Anglesey which'll be more of a test.

Welcome to Club Together and the world of caravanning.  Great to hear from you and the very best of luck for your first outing.  A very wise move to go close to home for your first outing.  If you've forgotten anything it's easy to pop back home.

Do let us know how you get on.
