i have been subscribing to practical caravan for many years and just decided to have a look online.i retired at xmas and have a s max 2.0 tdci auto and a swift conqueror 540 which we bought new in october 2008.we have not used caravan yet as we are fair weather caravaners.we have been caravaners since the 60s.we have two dogs we take with us,a german shepherd and a japanese akita.they sleep in the awning or are supposed to and we leave the caravan door open,hence fair weather caravaners.favorite sites are hollands wood new forest and perran sands perranporth.we are members of the caravan club.
