my wife and I are completely nuts!! Neither of us have done caravaning before, but we decided it would be good idea!!! So we bought one last November, it has been in storage since buying, although I did fetch it a week ago just to clean it inside and have good look through it etc, but nothing major. next Saturday we are away, going into Europe for six months!! we get the caravan on Tuesday and have booked into a site locally to us, as we need to find out how it all works!!!
not a glue on how to top up water tank have looked on YouTube and bought a Aqua roll and hose,
also bought waste master,
not even sure how electrics work or turn on!
cooker no glue
fridge not a glue
awning no never put one those up.
central heating !!!!!
setting up satallite tv should be fun!
got a weight gauge for towing weight think I understand it!! But problerly in practise I don't.
i spent 20 years motor racing towing trailers all over Europe behind a merc 5008 van so ok on that score.
yes so feel free to call us mad.
having said everything above I'm sure when we get on site we will get plenty of advise from fellow caravaners.
our first stop after crossing the channel is La Rochelle ! Six hour drive!
so if you are staying in campsite near Wallingford next week look out for us !!! And La Rochelle from next Saturday.
so defiantly going in at the deep end. So yes we are mad. I will keep you up to date how we get on.
any advise gratefully received !
