Hello,
We're completely new to caravanning and have decided we're now at the stage where we'd like to get a tow car and a small caravan, to start off with. We're looking for some advice as to what to get given our following criteria.
We have a max limit of £20k and out of this we are looking to get a small caravan that will fit on our small drive (such as a Swift Charisma 220 or Elddis Xplore 304) and a tow car that will suit a larger caravan if we decide to go larger at a later date and find suitable caravan storage for this.
I'm edging towards a 2012 (or around that year) Honda CR-V 2.2 manual diesel as these seem more plentiful than a Toyota RAV 4, which is my other choice. I was considering a 2016 Octavia hatch 2.0 TDI but I quite like the idea of a SUV or something that rides a bit higher.
With your experience, knowledge and wisdom, if you could start out again and had a budget of £20k what would you go for? Preferably the caravan and car mustn't be any older than 2010.
Thanks for reading.
