Been caravanning for 20 yaers,Best advice stick to 85% rule, and never overload the van, Give plenty of space on the road for other to over take you, so they don"t cut you up good luck .trevor
once you have hitched the caravan onto the towball wind the jockey wheel down so that you can see the car lifting slightly and do it without anyone talking to you.been caravanning 30 years got distracted once and caravan came off!!!
construct a packing list on your computer as detailed as you like. This has saved us having to purchase another set of rainwear at the first shower. It also means that you can stop in a layby on the way for a comfort break and find all essentials close to hand in the washroom!
