I've not been an active participant in the forum for a few years now (well, more than a few), so i thought this warranted a little piece in the new members section.
Having had 3 previous caravans, we stopped completely around 2013 after one of those trips where literally everything that could go wrong - did.
Buying another came up in conversation frequently, especially last summer. Fast forward to the start of this year, we got a sudden urge to go look at some examples to see how they had changed.
Of the selection of used vans we viewed, only a few impressed (some were just awful and insanely overpriced). A local dealer managed to plant a seed about looking at new caravans instead, which led us down that path and after the usual wait we collected towards the end of February.
I'd forgotten how all the necessary accessories add up, best part of another thousand spent on everything else (most expensive items being a 2nd hand mover and a new awning).
Now all i need to do is use it, looking forward to a weekend that we don't have guests and i'm not working!
See you on the road
