Hi all.....a sort of virgin caravaner

[kenmac15]

Hi everyone
As title says i'm sort of a caravan virgin as we have an old Abbey 1995 Lincoln 2 berth but we have only used it a couple of times.
I only bought it as we like to visit theme parks & thought it would make more sense to buy a van instead of camping as usual or B&B's.....but when we were using it for the first time at Alton Towers it chucked it down only to find it leaked a fair bit so it only came out one more time in better weather but the dampness put us off using it again.
So now we're looking at buying a caravan for proper caravan touring holidays.
Now I will warn you when it comes to this subject I'm going to asking stupid questions
Cheers
Ken
