Just take it easy on the towing.....take your time when setting up and most of all enjoy yourselves...we were newbies last year....still learning but love it!!!!

As Countrygear says, take it nice and easy.

Most important watch how you pack the van,   heavy over the wheels, nothing heavy in the high lockers.

Most important             a pen and paper to remember the next time what you forgot the first time.      Im always forgetting something.......

Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy

just remeber to take the corners alittle wider than normal you will be fine and also remember the little jolt's when the caravan brakes

remeber my first time once i was under way i was fine

good luck

Caravan virgins here too...

First weekend away in our little second hand tourer...

Been looking forward to it for weeks...

Keeping our tent as it has tons of fond memories but we are looking forward to the good times ahead in our caravan...

So... if anyone else is at "Waren" caravan park (Northumberland) this weekend and you see our little green 'hurricane' be sure to give us a knock...

thanks for the replies just printed off the check lists from the tips section

we will enjoy our selves and I will take it steady
