Hi,
Well, this was unexpected! After 'enjoying' seriously horrendous caravan-based holidays in my childhood, the last thing I was ever going to do was to buy a caravan. So I bought a caravan.
My wife Kristy and I are now the happy owners of a Swift Azzura 400. Possibly not the most up to date van in the park but a great way to start. We had an experimental weekend in not too far away in Norfolk a couple of weeks ago and it went mostly OK. The road closure and diversion down the county's narrowest and twistiest lane, with a ford in the middle, added an extra element of excitement to the event. Once on site and connecting up the water, witnessing the drain plug spontaneously pop off the Cascade 2 water heater was a bonus. I was later able to stem the flow with a porridge stirrer. Apparently, it's called spurtle, which is not what the lady in the shop called it but this is a family page.
I guess, nothing in life is meant to go by without a bit of a challenge!
We are already planning our next trip, hopefully before the weather gets too cold. Not to self: remember to disengage the motor-mover before attempting to tow the van.
