Noah will be sailing past in the ark before we get the bedrooms flooded in ours.

Aww, I've really enjoyed reading through this thread - you lucky people! We started camping when the kids were young with a Khyam family tent, we then bought an old Pennine Fiesta FC with which we had some fantastic holidays for about three years.  We sold the Fiesta when the kids started growing long legs and realised we needed something bigger, so we bought an old Lunar Venus 5 birth caravan. 

We quite enjoyed the van but totally agree with all the negatives already posted on this thread. One big minus for me that hasn't been mentioned is although I would be quite happy to share the towing of the caravan with my husband,  I didn't want the responsibility of taking the van out on my own along with two kids and two dogs!  If my husband couldn't get time off work, the caravan would just be sat in storage in the summer holidays- what an absolute crime!

When we had our Fiesta FC I would be perfectly confident to take the whole lot away on my own without any worries.  I have been looking through ads for a Pennine pathfinder or Conway crusader - a very dangerous thing to do, I know - slippery slopes and all that.  Haven't mentioned anything to the OH though, must wait until he's in a very,very good mood.

Until then, it's tent camping with our lovely Cabanon Andorra.
