    Carrying an extra gas cylinder

    If I wanted to carry a third small cylinder for a BBQ with me, is there any reason this shouldn't be carried inside the caravan? I would stow it in the cupboard underneath the cooker where there are drop vents and fit the appropriate strap to keep it secure and upright. It would be removed...

    I'm just looking at motor movers, and I've found that they all seem to vary in their weight. Does the weight matter? And what is the difference between a heavier motor mover and a lighter motor mover? I'm guessing the heavier ones are made to move heavier caravans?

    Which caravans hold their value best?

    Are there any specific caravans that hold their value better than others? I'm just thinking if there is anything I can do to help my caravan hold its value for longer? or if there are things that may result in my caravan losing value faster?

    How much does towing a caravan effect your MPG?

    It is obvious that towing a caravan can affect your miles per gallon by quite a bit, but I'm just wondering to what extent it is affected. Does the type of going vehicle you have also have a role to play in this, or is it simply down to the weight of your caravan?
