Hi all, just joined this nice looking caravan forum and must say i am pleased with what i have seen so far, and got a good discount on my caravan insurance to boot.
We have been caravaning for about 10 years now, we got into it because we had a dog that was getting on in years and we didnt want to leave him in kennels, we always used to go abroad for our hols and my sister would look after our dog but he was always escaping from her garden so we said enough is enough lets go look for tents to holiday in, i didnt fancy this so suggested a caravan and bought a early 1990's Sprite Musketeer and loved it so much, after a couple of years we decided to go bigger and bought a Lunar Chiron, we also loved this van but it was a uncomfortable bed that had to be made up everytime, so we then moved onto a Hobby Prestige. This was a fantastic van but was a bit too big for me to tow, we had it for about 3 years and sold it. We then bought a older Eldiss Hurricane a 1990 model 25 year anniversary, same again we loved this van, but we now have 2 Alsations so the van is too small, but we have had loads of happy hols in it, even over Christmas.
We are hopefully collecting a newer, bigger van this Saturday the 13th, its a Sterling Europa 495 a 2004 model with a fixed bed, we cant wait!!!!!
We go away in it to North Wales the following Saturday
Anyway sorry to have bored you but thats us in a nutshell really
All the best
Terry and Mandy
