Caravan owners at last

Sounds like you've got a good outfit - enjoy your new hobby.  It's fun in the wet but better in the sun :-), the emocions are not working!

Let us know how you get on with your van. If you put the details down on the caravan section of the main forum you may find a few other owners step forward.

I've found a way to do the smilies on here, put the post on then edit, the smilies work on the edit bit.

Hi Tin - Welcome to CT and world of caravanning.  Sounds like you got a good deal so hope you have many happy hours touring.  If you need any help just ask on the discussions section, plenty of people willing and able to help

Thank you all very much :)

Hope you have as much fun with you van as we did when we started out last year and hope you get to see some many great sites.

Well, the latest is that Shirley saw the 'van for the first time this afternoon - and she loved it (phew). I levelled it and put the legs down, then we took a good look around the inside to familiarise ourselves with it better. My uncle gave us lots of helpful advice and guidance and thankfully, we have all the manufacturers info on everything from the previous owner. All in all, a good afternoon.

Towbar arrived today from Witter - that's a decent bit of kit mind, not going to bend or break easily. I'm going to fit it to the Skoda and let someone competent sort out the electrics as that's not my bag. Off to pick up the car from the dealer tomorrow - yeeehaarr
