Hi.
My name is Judie and I am a recent caravan enthusiast at the age of 85, after spending 16 years touring the UK in a 60' narrowboat. There are a lot of similarities, mainly the comradeship both communities share. My partner and I bought a 25 year old Bailey ranger on a whim and a 5 minute discussion, and I can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions for us both.
We realise we are no spring chickens, enjoying our advanced state of decrepitude, but so far our voyages have been relatively incident free. There was the occasion when the fridge broke down and the ice packs we bought melted and flooded the carpet. I will not mention the 4 hour struggle erecting the awning - you've all been there, or the trailing along country roads in the dark trying to find the site, but we are both loving the new challenge and intend to keep towing for at least the next 10 years.
