going away tomorrow evening with our caravan for the first time car had the towbar fitted today pitch booked on manor park Hunstanton van all checked over, list made out am I nervous you bet haven't towed any thing the size of a caravan in years, any tips would be apriciated
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!!!!
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
------------- why is it that peeps into caravan and camping have no problems with the peeps next door never a problem we pull onto our pitch to be offered tea or help ercting the awning /tent maybe if the country lived in caravans and tents there would be no problems in life ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Have a wonderfull time, we were all first timers once as everyone is but if in a tizzy just ask someone . (there will always be a know it all) Most people are just happy to help. Take all knowledge in and just enjoy. xxx
We are new to it this year as well. Been away a couple of times and loved it. As everyone else has said, just take it easy and keep an eye out for wagons and the white van man if you are on a dual carraigeway/motorway flying past you. Also, when you pull on site, don't let the 'curtain twitchers' put you off if you make a mistake reversing onto your pitch. Just pull out and try again. Nobodys perfect!! Have a great weekend anyway.
