Hi All,

Sorry if I’ve written this in the wrong section…

Matthew and Kirsty here. We’ve taken the plunge and just purchased our first ever caravan. We’re complete novices but we’re looking forward to learning the good, bad and ugly sides to touring. Any tips and advice is welcomes.

All the best,

Matthew & Kirsty

Hi Matthew & Kirsty, and welcome to the forum. Remember we were all novices once, so any questions feel free to ask, there are no stupid questions, but you might get a few silly answers!

Hope you've a good sense of humour.

Hope you have some great times with your caravan. If you put your approximate area in your profile it will help with recommendations for suppliers etc. Not much use recommending somewhere in Penzance if you are in Aberdeen for instance. There are a lot of very helpful people on here in all spheres, so someone will know the answers, whatever you ask.

Best Regards,
Colin

Hi Matthew and Kirsty

Welcome to the forum and the world of Caravanning. We have been Caravanning for 10 years now and I remember the many many questions we had when we started out. I have always found this forum to be so friendly and helpful so don’t be afraid to ask any questions you have, no matter how silly they might seem.
