Hello Richard

I can only suggest that you continue to treat your wife with love and respect,give and take, and all of the other much quoted forms of treatment. By the way, happy caravanning!

Yep l agree with that comment Derek, just make sure she's the one that has to get out and push when you are stuck in the snow.

Doubt that will happen with you driving Mitsubishi the same has l

Hi Richard

Welcome.

Make sure her indoors understands the words "to love and obey".

You'll need that when erecting the awning;LOL.

Have fun

Cheers

Hi

To help you keep your marriage vows 'to love and to cherish'

A practical tip - make a list of what you need to have in the van before you set off, if the van is stored away from home in a storage place, note what is in the van and at home. A list of checks you need to do before you set off eg check the handbrake of van is off when hitched to the car etc. If you use an awning -marking the poles with coloured tape helps. We research some places we'd like to visit, eat, shops, petrol stations etc with post codes for sat nav . It helps with flexibility.

Good luck in 2010
