hello everybody

Hi all just signed up for the forum, second year towing after years of camping, Just back yesterday from our first run of the year. went to a lovely site in Crail Fife (Scotland). Only 86 Miles from home and did in a comfortable 2 1/2 hours from the Scottish borders. Nice mid week break with no dramas. Currently pulling an Abby Spectrum 419 with a Range Rover 2.5 Tdi not a new van but fully loaded top of the range in it's day (didn't want to commit to newer van until we had tried caravans out for a couple of seasons to see if it suits but looks like we will be upgrading to a newer unit next year.
cheers all
Happy towing

Hi Andy and welcome.
We did a very similar thing - bought an old van to see if we liked caravanning. We did - and swopped to a brand new van after about eighteen months. We kept that until our boys were grown up and twelve years ago treated ourselves to a fixed bed - which we still love, after all those years!
Enjoy your caravanning.

Hello Andy, welcome to the Practical Caravan forum.
The 'Speccy' was a top of the range caravan, and it looks like you did the 'trying out an older caravan to see if we like it' ritual in style

I hope that you enjoy using the forum

Welcome to the PC Forum Andy. It's amazing how many caravanners were once tenters - a good step up, especially when we get older and want a bit more comfort.

You've certainly got the perfect tow vehicle too!
Lucky you, being in such easy striking distance of wonderful Scotland.
Happy and safe caravanning!
