Hi Kev,
We are off on our holidays next week, so I will say welcome now!
We have been caravanning for about 50 years of which 49 were static in Scotland. You could say we are newbies to tourers but have plenty of experience of repairing floors, roofs,electrical work 12v and 240v, gas instalation etc;we used to be able to do all our own maintenance in the old days with the statics but things have changed since the days of gas lamps and open fires (real coal and logs).
Enjoy your caravanning,
Pop
