Hello everyone

I just thought id introduce myself. My name is David and myself and wife Angela, our 1 and a bit year old son jackie and lab 'Rougie' are about to embark on a return to caravaning but as its been a wee while and we're on the cusp of spending alot more than we did with previous vans, i will be asking alot of questions, so please bear with me.

We will shortly be changing our car to either a 2005 Saab 9-5 auto estate, a similar age of Volvo S80 or again a similar age of Subaru Legacy.

We also aim to buy either an Adria or Lunar Chateau of around 2005/6 vintage or perhaps a new sprite and finance some of it.

We have had 3 vans now, all elddis ranging from a lovely '81 tornado to a '95 Gulfstream GT but appreciate alot has changed since then and to be honest im a bit aprehensive about it all - i.e. changes in electrics, on board water tanks, much larger specs etc and due to having little mechanical know-how, i need to make sure its not going to cost us heaps in repair bills and also want to buy something that will stave off damp for a long time.

We hope to be keeping our outfit (but especially our van) for a considerable time so the pressure is on to get the choice right.

Anyway, hello to all and hope ill fit in here and you'll be kind in answering my questions.

David and Angela

Hi David & Angela,

Welcome to the forum. There have been lots of changes over the years ( for the better ), but basic caravanning has not changed. Keep asking questions and happy caravanning.
