Another convert from tents to caravans here, still quite new to it, got our van in July last year and wish we had done it years ago It does seem a bit daunting a first but it gets easier as you become more used to you're new pitching routines. It's just wonderful I wish I could live in my caravan

Look forward to hearing about you're adventures and seeing the pics!

Have you named her yet? We called ours Vera, she's an old classy girl !

Not thought of a name yet, and hoping pitching will be a lot quicker than the folding campers were

Great news!

I started on a bike with a one man tent ...
Then car and four man tent,
Then car and roof box and and tunnel tent
Then car and roof box and trailer with tunnel tent and gazebo
Then car and Pennine Pulman 535
And now car and Sterckeman Alizé Concept CP 480

It's been a memorable journey over nearly forty years ... loved every step of the way ... each adding more comfort/ease to the last ... next? No ideas, yet.
