My offering would be:
Make your very first trip out in the caravan somewhere not too far from home, for a 'shakedown'. This gives you the opportunity to become familiar with your new van and wouldn't cause a problem to *** home if there is anything important you've forgotten to pack.
It's a good idea to make this first trip on a roomy CL or CS, where you will have a lot more space to manoeuvre your caravan on to a pitch for the first time. They can only take a maximum of 5 caravans and are therefore less daunting for a beginner.
