Hi Nick and Kim, welcome to the Practical Caravan forum

It's great to see younger people embracing what was once regarded as a hobby for old codgers, and for dog owners caravanning is hard to beat.
Good luck with the wedding and don't forget to post the pictures on here.
I hope that you'll enjoy the forum, it's a great place to swap tips and advice

To tell you the truth i got my caravan for work purposes only as we used to like it under the canvas but when i first started stopping away from home thats when it dawned on me that this is the way and Kim loves it as well my caravan isnt nothing special but its got the basics Gas oven and grill Gas fridge when we go on our honeymoon we are taking the van and the 3 dogs with us mind it will be the first time we have took them with us so that will be an expierience ha ha

Regards Nick

welcome to you both and hope everything goes well.With so much gas kit you might want to consider buying a Carbon Monoxide alarm for your van they are about £15 from Tesco or other supermarkets and give you great peace of mind.

Im going to be honest ive never thought of getting one of those nearly everything on board is Gas its quite scary really i was logged up to carvan talk another forum but nobody has suggested one but still you dont know until your told as ive been brought up on electric and open fires Gas is sort of a different language to me the closest thing i got to gas growing up was a Super Ser heater with the 25KG butane gas bottle in the back ha ha memories

Good sound advice from Deli Dave, also equip yourself with fire extinguisher and fire blanket...........Oh and the smoke alarm,

Hello to you both in Lincolnshire. Welcome to the forum. Even the oldest caravan has got to be better than the newest tent, especially in weather like this.

And a lot warmer love it

I love to see caravans with a bit of age to them on a site, the owners put some effort into keeping them on the road which is great, but the best thing of all is the warm looking glow that the light makes through the curtains at night.
Modern blinds black out this light completely but caravan sites always looked warm and welcoming when the soft light through curtains of various colours used to glow around the caravan site.

Norning Nick and welcome to the PCv forum. There's plenty of excellent information on here and a wealth of knowledge to answer any questions you have.
May I suggest that unless you know for certain the Bailey has been professionally serviced during the last 12 months you consider getting one done.
Servicing a caravan is not like a car in so far as all gas appliances , electrical units as well as runnig gear are all checked over.
Well worth it for your own peace of mind. There are plenty of good mobile engineers who will come to your home or storage.
Enjoy your new found home!

Theres a caravan service workshop just up the road from me i think his prices are quite reasonable as well my van is an old girl but shes very tidy for her age its certianly been well looked after i will carry that on as best as i can

Regards Nick
