Lots of people seem to do the same, as we did. We loved our tents over the years but eventually got fed up with soggy pitching and the time it took to pack away at the end of holiday especially in the rain! We've had our caravan since August 2007 and haven't regretted it one bit. Yes its much more expensive but we knew that when we took that decision. We too waited years to be able to afford our first caravan and we haven't been disappointed.

I still have a look at new tents on the market each year though!

So pleased for you Katie.

thanks judy going to take it stright away lol I cant wait

We started off in a tt then got a 2 berth caravan just to see how we liked it and now have a lovely 6 berth.  I love taking clothes from the house and putting them away in their place and not having to unpack it all when we arrive.  Though putting up the awning and setting up the 'van probably takes just as long as a tent lol.  It doesn't even bother me that we have to unmake and make up the beds every night which i thought would.

Welcome and enjoy yourselves...
