Taking the plunge

Welcome to club together.  From what experience I have had in France off gridding is not an option with a caravan so you might want to look at motorhomes.  However caravanning is really easy in France.  Going to shows and dealers will give you an idea.  Read up all the info you can on dogs abroad it's not complicated but there are things like processionary caterpillars to be aware of.  My dogs have enjoyed France but you might want to factor in the heat unless it's winter touring you are planning!  Enjoy. 

First questions 1 Do you have a B+E licence? 2 What tow car and what towing limit? 3 What bedding layout ie singles or permanent double? That gives us a slight chance of advising you.

Go to as many dealers as you can and just see what layout is likely to suit you. Just a personal opinion but as far as we are concerned  we have two MUST haves;

1. A fixed double bed. I simply can't do with making up beds every day and using seats and seat backs to sleep on - a proper sprung mattress is bliss.

2. Toilet and shower - do you want to join the queue in toilet blocks every morning whether in rain or shine?

Enjoy your search.
