Evening All
So after years of campervanning I am finally growing up and purchasing my first Caravan for our growing family. Thing is I have so many daft questions to clear up in my head first. I hope you can help!
First up, Towbars. I have a 60 plate VW passat blue motion 1.6, with a max towing weight of 1400kgs, and am considering purchasing either a Bailey Orion 450/5 or a Elldis Xplore 495 or a Adria Altea 452, all light weight starter caravans I believe. But what do I get first, the van or the towbar? Which tow car would people recommend? Should I go to my VW garage or pick somthing up off the net?
Secondly, the vans mentined above. Any good? Does anyone have any experience with any of the models?
Third, dare I even ask - Covers, yes or no? (it will be parked on a driveway with no sappy trees overhead)
Thats it for now, although I am sure more will crop up over the next few weeks.
Thanks, your help is appreciated!
