Hi,
Just to let you all know I've given up caravanning now - too many problems with my health getting in the way now. Sold my van and I've just advertised lots of equipment on here if anyone's looking for anything ( scroll to bottom of profile )
Thank you all for your help over the years, it's been much appreciated.
Bye

Sad to hear that you can't continue caravanning but I'm sure you have lots of happy memories. We've only just begun & hopefully we have many years ahead of us Keep posting on the boards though as your experience/knowledge will still be useful to us.

In same boat as Homebird2003 - only just started as well - find this forum and all its posters a very valuable source of advice. Good luck with your health issues.
