Hello all,

I visited my sister in her Motorhome recently and frankly just didn't want to leave. Seeing everyone relaxed outside their caravans, motor homes & tents. BBQ's lit, cold beer, drinking tea. Listening to the birds singing and rabbits hopping about filled me with envy. We live a hectic lifestyle and our observations on that day inspired us. So we've done it. We got our first caravan not quite 2 weeks ago and already visited 4 sites and we're off again this weekend. Loving it so far ( mastered reversing too). The people you meet. Marvellous !

Welcome to CT, Starbys. Glad to hear that you're enjoying your caravanning. We've been caravanning for nearly 40yrs, and I haven't mastered reversing yet....What's your secret?

Thanks TinWheeler & NellieTheHooker.

I've towed a trailer for a few years, it must have helped me :o). I thought it would be harder with a Caravan but found it a bit easier. The hard bit is keeping my wife in my wing mirrors lol.
