Hi All
Just at the start of our possible caravan journey.
My wife is a teacher and I am pretty stressed out executive and we have two kids. We want to make more use of the wife's holidays and weekends without paying the current £3000+ for a weeks in a static haven caravan in Cornwall. So we are considering investing into a caravan to improve our lifestyle.
Plan is too store it a local caravan site we can easily pop too at the weekend and then taking it away for the holidays.
We have a good idea of what we are looking for and want to start taking a look at a few. Can anyone recommend good places to go and have a nosey at some around Liverpool / Manchester area. We are in Warrington. Is it like going to a car showroom were you can have a good nosey around or would they view us as time wasters ? Not sure what the etiquette is. We are thinking second hand ... budget anything up to 20k seems sensible - not that I wouldn't mind spending less
We have a Skoda Kodiaq 2L 190 L&K 7 seater diesel with a 100kg nose weight limit so we should have a number of good options I am thinking. Thinking 4 berth will be fine as we will only ever be taking us and the kids.
Planning on doing the towing courses etc. Also pretty scared about snaking - but hopefully with training and a sensible attitude this will be fine.
Hopefully will around here a lot
