Thank you for accepting me onto this forum at caravan talk. I have just bought an Avondale Dart 556-6 after looking at second hand caravans accross the the north west ans it seems like a nice dry well looked after example and whilst it's not a modern palace I it seems sound and we are ready for our first caravan holiday. The only thing is I don't remember any of the great advice, instructions and tips the previous owner kindly gave me and the manual although very detailed does not seem to have an idiots guide as to how to set up the caravan. For or example I attach it to the mains but it's still running off the battery and I see the tap I hidden under the seats but is there a sequence to connecting the water. . It's not plain English in the hand book or maybe I am just dim. Can any members please point me to any info or sites that provide more information for the beginner? Many thanks Fran

How about a thread that brings everyone`s tips about keeping the costs of caravaning down (practical) all to the same place. for instance. .............. how much stuff do you take with you that you never use ? non essential. my wife once took seven pairs of boots for a seven night stay and only used 2 pairs. now we`re on gas i still take the toaster because we`re on ehu. always check tyre pressures the night before.(van and car) on a short trip (weekend) if it looks windy i don`t take the awning. just a few to start off.

dave alias caravanranger seeking advice as we are first time caravaners

Hi All I've just joined the community as I'm looking for much needed advice. My wife has finally given into my constant pestering about getting a caravan, but I don't really know where to start looking. There are four of us now, Myself, my wife and two kids (age 3 and 4 months) I loved going on caravan holidays when I was a kid and have many happy memories from different sites all over Wales and the north west. Heres my plan to start off, I'm after a 2nd hand caravan, looking up to £10,000, 4 berth (unless you reccomend higher) and I'm looking to store it on a site for next season, probably in Wales. So here are my questions for all you seasoned pro's! What's a good make of caravan, and what ones should I look at avoiding (if any) Where's the best place to buy one? I've heard of horror stories of police checking the identity plates on caravans and literally seizing them on the spot. when is the best time to buy? What good sites are there in North Wales? And just any tips that you would offer in the buying process. Thanks for reading, and I soon hope to become an active member on the site Andy

Hey Me and my boyfriend decided to go travelling around Europe. So we bought a caravan and basically we're pretty much packed to go except neither of us have ever used a caravan before. We're insured to the eyeballs ( I even think the grass we pitch it on is insured) and I think we've got everything ready to go, but any general tips from experience? Also Are the fold away ironing boards any use of is it worth taking a real one? And Expensive or cheap camping chair? is it worth it? Thanks
