Myself and my wife borrowed a caravan a few times about 5 or 6 years ago and wen't along with friends from my work, was more like an extended pub crawl really but good fun. well 2 kids later and our first trip abroud with them ir proved somewhat difficult with 3 suitcases and 2 pushchairs. Baby number 3 arrives and we blow airports and planes out for a few years. Been to Centre Parcs a few times now but very expensive and a bit samey when you been a few times. We decided to get a caravana and see some of the UK and Europe. We bought a 2006 Abbey Spectrum 520 in September 07 and changed our car from a Ford S-MAX (great car)to a new shape Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L CRD due to weight. We have been to a few club sites now and the kids love it. We have booked a couple of Park Resorts during the school holidays so the kids have more to do and 3 weeks in France during the summer holidays. We will be going to Paris, then South Brittany and the Normandy before heading back. Being 31 yrs old I get a few odd looks from people when towing our caravan but have found other caravanners to be very pleasant and helpful. I thinks its one of the best things we have done as a family and we are all looking forward to many graet holidays in it.
