Good morning everyone
We‘ve been toying with the idea of caravanning for the past 3-4 years, we nearly brought our first 18 months ago but Covid prices put us off. Now 18 months on we’ve missed 18 months we can’t get back so although prices are still high we’re hoping to find one this year and take the hit.
We‘re going to be dictated to a little by the length of our drive, 21ft we’ll be towing with a Jaguar XF Sportbrake petrol, I’ve booked in to have a detachable tow bar fitted.
Experience wise I’ve driven a Jumbo Transit for many years and I’ve booked in for a towing course.
My wife loves fixed bed caravans but the 21ft shipping length is the stumbling block. Our nearest yet full storage yard is 10 miles away but the thrill for us will be getting the van ready the night before and taking off for 2-3 day breaks as regular as possible.
Thats my introduction done, hopefully I’ll find plenty of tips and answers to questions I might have as I start looking through the forums. Forgot to add, we have a dog that will be coming with us on our trips.
