Hello before I begin I must confess to being a serial lurker on here for a while now and I've already found out so much 17

Last year we bought a tent and although we loved the whole freedom of going away; we weren't so keen on the putting up and taking down; particularly not for one or two night so...We have recently bought a Series 5 Bailey Pageant Moselle and have been away for three weeekends already (had it for a little over a month) and we are off to France in August.

I have two children of 3 and 5 and I want them to have the fantastic memories I have of camping holidays both here and abroad, they love the caravan and sleep better in it than at home!

I'll stop waffling now, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi 17

Hi karenolliesmum, I'm fairly new to caravanning too, have been a camper beforehand. This site has been brilliant in offering advice and support, I'm sure you'll use it a lot. Know what you mean about sleeping better in the van than at home!Where are you going in France?

Hi & Welcome. We are new to caravanning too but are seasoned campers. We also have 2 young children (1 & 2.5) and definately find setting up and packing up easier in the van!

Enjoy!17
