Hello all,

Finally did it, after years of waiting to have enough savings, and the kids leaving home/old enough not to want to go with mum and dad anymore, we bought our first van. It's a swift corniche 17/3, 2002, and I will be towing with a mondeo 2.5 V6, yes I can hear you all screaming, car's to light for the van, fuel consumption, but I have plenty of experience towing trailers, and I am looking to change the mondeo for a freelander or discovery in the near future. So in a fortnight my wife our two dogs and I will be joining the ranks, and cant wait. Hopefully going to try sandringham for our first outing (not to far).

No doubt I will be on here again soon, asking questions thick and fast, so till then, happy holidays.

Cheers Tony.

Hi Tony,

We are newbies too!

We did our homework, then had a look, then bought the caravan!

Swift Charisma565

Husband had never towed before, I had never even been on a caravan holiday!!!

Our first trip was to North Berwick.

Lovely caravan site.

I think it is best to go some place close first time , just in case of any problems.

I would say try everything out first, our indicators weren't working { wee things like that!}

I hope you have a great holiday.

Susan
