Just wanted to introduce myself.

I'm new to caravaning but a quick learner and I reckon I'm reasonably practical. Loads of experience with 44 tonne HGV's so I'm hoping towing and reversing will be manageable - and so far, both have been pretty much as expected. (Although the van reacts a bit quicker than a 13.5 meter curtainsider.

The idea is to take extended (three month) trips through Europe, so any help and advice will be very gratefully received.

Looking forward to chatting and learning!

Great to hear from you Rich. Welcome to the Caravan Club and to Club Together.

When are you hoping to go to Europe? It rather depends on when you go as to the advice you get. I would suggest posting more specific questions in the Overseas section.

Do keep us up to date on how you are doing with the caravan and welcome, once more!

I’m sure you‘ll find lots on various discussions & maybe also in the Your Stories section. Some regular posters have their own websites which may be of interest. You will probably come across these. CC can have some good ferry offers dependant on port & time of crossing so worth checking against ferry provider’s online quote. Enjoy your research & your caravanning trip.

Hello and welcome. I'm sure you'll really enjoy your new hobby. Yes there are questions and answers on subjects you wouldn't have thought off. Toilets chemicals flushes toilet paper living without electric hookup cable alias orange cord or EHU. If in any doubt ask, you'll get lots of different answers same as most of life, no one size fits all 😃. And as ABM says bring your sense of humour almost as important as your caravan 😂😂.
