Evening all

After many many months of looking around, researching, discussing, looking around again, getting in and out of different models, we have finally taken the plunge.  Hoping to pick up our Lunar Ultima 560 on 1 July.  We have a zillion questions and though very excited, must admit to a few nerves.  Any help and advice anyone would care to offer would be gratefully received.  We will have the usual starter pack and herself will no doubt be purchasing the usual fripperies for inside, but what other essential kit would you suggest?   Thanks in advance.

Off for our second adventure this weekend, a whole week at Rivendale, proper pair of giddy kippers I can tell you.  Thanks again everyone for all the advice and comments.  Still lots to learn, but quite a bit will be "on the job" training I imagine, or a baptism of fire Happy

Have a great time Henzy. If you'd like assistance ask - most people are happy to help. Oh and don't forget someone has to be site entertainment and somtimes its your turn

Yes, you can always get assistance from people in neighbouring caravans on club sites. We had help when we first got our new caravan and awning. We didn't know how to put the awning up but there were others there that helped us do it. It gets easier once you know how.

Thanks Bakers2, we will be there all week and I imagine tickets will sell fast for the show.  We were a little shy about asking on our first outing, everyone else seemed so competent, but will definitely be more confident this time around.
