Is there a place that a caravan can be hired before buying it as you may not like it at all. Then you would not of wasted your money. Like the places that you can hire camping stuff out, just cannot remember the darn name I saw on the side of it.

If you like it as I am sure you will, you may also realise what kind or size you want.

We have a Lunar 2 berth, and have just bought a ful awning for a bit more room. But maybe had we been able to afford a 3-4 berth at the time, we would not of bothered about the awning at all. But Bob says nno to a bigger cvan  now we have this just a bigger awning as it is the cheapest way of doing it and gives me more room for my wheelchair to turn around in.

We are also big people and you have to conside  your size when getting a 2 berth or what kind it is. We have actuallt been without any awning and just use the cvan, as we are used to small spaces anyway it never bothered us, but worth thinking about if you want space. Bigger cvan or awning.

You will still like the freedom of it all.

We have had a VW camper for a couple of decades and loved it. Just could not afford to replace it now retired. They are not cheap, but if your mechanical minded they can be picked up cheaper, as my Bob is not it was everything had to be paid to someone else so gets a bit expensive.But we certainly had the freedom of roaming with it.

I know the Camping and Caravan club site at hereford has a tourer on site that can be hired there on sight NOT to tour with, so defeats the object as you will get the feeling of real freedom to go where you want to go.These you need sites for but there are plenty big or smaller ones depending on your wants & needs.

I will have to Google and see what i can find out.
