Hello to everyone, from Gordon, Julia and James (age two) in Colchester. We've just bought our first van (a 2004 Sterling Europa 525), and will be picking it up in a couple of weeks time, so expect to see lots of stupid questions from us!
We've wanted a caravan for a couple of years, but have only just got the nerve to buy one. The plan is to try and have lots of long weekends away, rather than use it for a 2 week annual holiday.
I've camped in tents and stayed in touring and static caravans in the past, and Julia's family had caravans, so although we're both newbies, it's sort of in the blood. We're both very excited, but rather apprehensive at what the real running costs will be, as well as how much it will cost to buy everything we need to go with the caravan.
It will also be interesting to see how James copes - he's a spirited child, and will probably be a real handful. I suspect that reins, a length of rope and one of those ground spike dog anchor thingies may be the answer ;-)
Anyway, enough waffling already, especially as you're probably all away for Easter. See you in the other forums
