Steep learning curve

Hello

Having enjoyed motorhoming for 8 years we decided to return to caravan ownership, a Sprite Major 4sb.  I have psoriatic arthritis so we really need a car when on site and hiring one in France for several weeks is very expensive.

We had a caravan in the 80s but things have changed so much since then so I'm slowly getting to grips with all the new equipment available.  We'd like an air awning so are trying to decide which one would suit our needs best.  We will tour in the Uk but also like to go down to the South of France and the Bay of Roses in Spain so would like something we can use as an open canopy in sunny weather.

Our local caravan dealership has Kampa Rally Pro air awnings on show and they look well made but Bradcot currently have a good deal on their Aspire.  This forum has so many experienced caravanners, I'd really welcome advice.

I'm really excited about the change we're making but my other half has some trepidation about towing again!
