Hi everyone

Just wanted to say hello being brand new to all this, but what a great site!  We have just bought a Bailey caravan and love it, towing with a 20 year old Mitsubishi pickup at the moment.  We have been to a couple of sites in the last few weeks and just forward planning all the time now whenever we can get away.  Also decided it is time to change the vehicle after negotiating some of the hills in Devon and Dorset so we take delivery of a new pickup this weekend.  Thanks to everyone for the advice, tips and general info, it's a great help. 

Happy holidays!

Linda

Welcome Linda, its a home on wheels, and you can't get enough of it, knowing you can get away is a great feeling. Especially after a bad week/day, you know come the weekend thats it OFF.

Wecome Linda,

Just ask for any advice you may need about caravaning, I'm sure it will be forthcoming from the forum.

Just remember, there's only 1 stupid question, thats the one you don't ask!
