New member introduction

..  being new to towing feeling slightly anxious about towing for the 1st time etc..

Just take your time. 👍

I suggest you use the van without an awning and then decide if you really need one. They’re not known as a divorce in a bag for nothing!

Similarly, buy very little equipment to start with and maybe take stuff from home until you decide what you need and what you don’t. Most of us have garages and lofts stuffed full of 'must have' but useless accessories.

Check out ebay, lots of good camping/caravanning stuff goes for not a lot of money on ebay. Recently bought a Kampa 390 for £600, only been erected twice, folk who owned it had decided that caravaning was not for them, will knock you back £1300 to buy new.

My old one had spent too much time in the sun and sea air, was starting to rot away the fabric, for us 5 days or more and awning goes up, great place to hang wet coats, dry off the dog, cook so you dont get too many smells in the van, but as other have said dont buy too much stuff, i guarantee you wont need it. Just chucked an old analogue tv, been under bunks for years, we never watch tv whilst away.  

top tip, buy a Romesco slow cooker just great for home & caravan

Thx for the advice everyone 

RUFS,  

Not sure about your Slow cooker  ~~  I know that Romesco is a form of Spanish Sauce  but the cooker that I know and love is the REMOSKA !!!

Now help this old man out please,  which one are you advocating  ??

I have a Remoska and would tend to refer to it more in line with a multi cooker rather than a slow cooker.  Whatever you want to call it, it's a great appliance for caravanning although expensive and new only available from Lakeland Limited.
