I'd like to introduce my self. My name is Nick and live in South Wales with my wife and family. For years I've wanted to own a caravan and last year we bought one. We set ourselves a budget of £5000, and managed to buy a 'van for £12500!! I bought a car to tow it, but due to many unforseen circumstances, we have yet to tow with it. We bought the 'van from Mendip caravans in Newport (super service, highly recommended), but I couldn't get a towbar fitted to my car in time (even though I work in the motor trade, I wasn't able to pull enough strings), so I borrowed a Peugeot van. Not much fun pulling our newly aquired van from Newport to Tenby (where the caravan is in storage). Very stable as a tow vehicle, but engine was a non turbo diesel and wasn't up to the job.
We managed to use the 'van a couple of times last year, but due to commitments with decorating our house and work, it spent most of it's time alone in West Wales. I'm going down to collect it this week and bring it home and give it a good wash and polish. I'm looking forward to towing with my car.
In April, both my wife and I are spending 10 days down in Tenby (in case you're wondering, we love the place and got married there), and both of us cannot wait.
Nice to see so many enthusiastic people out there and hope to join in with conversations with you. Also, I'll probably annoy you with asking for help and advice!!!
All the best to you all
Nick and Dee
