    Thanks ☺ I hope to do the same trip and head down to Spain and Portugal. Where did you leave from when you headed out from the UK? How much driving time on the road did you do before stopping for breaks? I would imagine, off-season, camp sites (Spain and Portugal) are relatively quiet...

    Bailey, Elddis, Swift?

    Thanks Ray. I'm hoping to purchase an easy towing one, 2 berth. The Elldis explorer 402, I believe, caught my eye, it was quite roomy and I liked the fact it had a separate shower, I believe it was a 2010 model a motor mover of course would be necessary, due to me travelling solo. I also...

    "Caravan & Motorhome" / "Motorhome & Caravan" Show

    I'll be off to my first Caravan and motorhome show next month in Hampshire. Not to purchase a van, but it'll give me some ideas. My daughter is coming with me, I've booked a B&B for the night, despite not living too far away. Any tips regarding parking at these events, can you park close by etc?

    Rear parking sensors and rear view camera?

    Quick question. When towing how does this effect the sensors and rear parking camera on your towing car? I would imagine each time you put the car in reverse you'll get the warning beeps? Thanks

    Purchasing a caravan..

    Thanks Camel, there is one on the Wimborne road, I've stopped by there a few times and they certainly do have numerous vans, all shapes and sizes. It was there that I saw an Elddis Xplore, I really liked it. The staff were very helpful. I would prefer to purchase something closer to home...

    Purchasing a caravan..

    Thanks for your reply. I have a couple friends who are quite often out and about in their vans who I have spoken to, they are local to me which is good. I'll definitely take the towing course. There are a number of campsites quite close to where I live, I'll be able to start off there well...
