Never leave your handbag on the front seat of your car in full view for all and sundry to see! Which is exactly what I did on our very first trip out in our caravan.
Moved my car off the drive, hubby move his car and van off and I parked mine back on the drive.
Drove to the New Forest from Somerset...NO handbag...Unhitched the van drove all the way back home, got my bag off the seat (luckily it was still there) and drove all the way back to the New Forest (approx 60 miles each way). Hubby didn't complain once, but I've yet to live it down and I never forget my bag now when we go away.

'Always' remember to unclip the emergency break cable after unhitching the van or spend around 2 hours trying to find a suitable substitute, (which I didn't do on the weekend honest!!!!).
Never forget to take an ample supply of wine and always remember the corkscrew!
Never forget to take your sense of Humour.
Never gorget to take the Wife, or you will have to do everything yourself.Caravanning - always a pleasure for leisure!
Caravanning - never boring when touring!

Never allow your husband to balance a full glass of red wine in the front window just in front of the unpredictable screen that could fly up at any moment.
Always carry a good can of upholstery cleaner and plenty of kitchen roll.

Always check personaly that all the doors at home are locked .We left for Cornwall and as we were passing Worcester Voice at side pipes up [did you lock the coservatory door?] No that was your job as i was hitching the caravan.[Yes but you should have checked ].As we all know female logic is that male is always to blame. Solution ,turn off M5 ,find comercial site ,set up caravan and drive 75 miles home, lock said consevatory doorand return 75 miles to comercial site .Both 75 miles travelled in complete silence , On arival back at comercial site ,make way to club house [ALONE] where the only bright spot of the day was found, the bar stayed open until you fell of the stool.
Next day Journey to Cornwall resumed , atmosphere in car thawed around junction 17 Coljac

Brilliant! - Never allow your husband to make individual trifles in small glass dishes then turn them upside down in front of relatives whilst declaring 'these trifles will never fall out of the dishes'!!! Agree with the upholstery cleaner!!Never allow your husband to balance a full glass of red wine in the front window just in front of the unpredictable screen that could fly up at any moment.
