Our combined ages are close to 160 . I bought my first caravan 50 years ago and will be buying a new one to celebrate when we get the present on back from Spain later this year. For the past 18 years we have spent around 160 nights a year away in the van mainly in Spain (winter and spring) and France (Autumn)
It helps a bit that I'm a Chartered Engineer and able to fix things,and that the OH is an experienced American camper used to basic facilities, but if you plan ahed, get a well balanced outlfit interms of van size and towing capability, a good motor mover, and ideally both of you being happy to tow, there is no reason why you should not have many happy years to look forward to.
We hve used the same slightly scruffy site in south east Spain now for 15 consecutive years, but it's our sort of scruffy and we use the in van facilities but the friendliness and fun are exceptional. You do not have to be in the bar every night, people understand that when the blinds are down you are not open for visitors and it is all pretty good. I shall miss it badly when no longer able to tour.
