I have just joined up on behalf of my sister and I. We own a 2001 Coachman Pastiche 500/5 which we tow with a 2002 Kia Sedona. My niece and nephew have grown up taking holdiays in the various touring caravans that we have owned, (we only ever seem to head west from Hampshire), and even now at 11 and 16 enjoy going away in the van, be it for two weeks or long weekend. We just need to ensure the Nintendo DS and PSP can be charged on demand! I have been reading Practical Caravan since the beginning of the year and thought now was a good a time as any to join up. My name is Carol and I look forward to hearing from other members.
