Hello Fellow Caravanners

[Sam_374394490]

Hi Everyone

I am Sam, my Husband is Wayne and we have 3 children aged from 5 to 12 years old.

We collect our Sprite Major 6 at the end of February and I cannot tell you how excited we all are.

My parents recently bought a Bailey Pageant and since they have had their van we have been hooked. I really do not know why we didn't take up caravanning sooner.

We are looking forward to lots of weekends, and holidays away this year. Our favourite site is Blackmore, as that is where we first went for a weekend with my parents and caught the bug.

I am looking forward to sharing our experiences, and asking you for lots of help and tips as this is all new to us. I look forward to getting to know you all better.

Nice to meet you all and "Happy New Year"

Sam x

Welcome to the forum Sam.

Our 3 kids are similar ages to yours and we've been caravanning for just over a year now. We all love it and managed lots of time away last year although we do tend to go for a week at a time rather than for weekends.

There are lots of friendly and knowledgeable folk on here so if you need to know anything don't hesitate to post.

Good luck and let us know how you get on when you collect your van.

Kind regards

Claire & Rob

Hello Sam,

Welcome to your new adventures, we jumped in at the deep end by buying a new caravan at the end of 2007. Have not used it as much

as l liked last year because of work, but when we did we made the most of it. Once set up it was great being somewhere different and waking up in the mornings knowing you do dont have to go to work.

I have a partner and two young children and a dog as well. The children love it.

As Claire and Rob says if you want to know anying ask and lm sure somebody will have the answer. I have picked up a lot of helpfull tips on the site.

So good luck for when you get your new van and have a many a good holiday in it.

Best regards

Gary

Hi Sam

Just to say thanks for the reply. Have not made any bookings yet due to lack of funds at the moment. My partner and l live in west sussex and the only place we went to was the new forest only because we both come from that area, so we are going to try some different places this year. Also l hope that the weather is better too this year.

Gary.
