Dont drive off before you have raised the jockey wheel - I did - £20 odd quid for a new one. Remember to leave hor raps OPEN when the hot water cylinder is filling up or you will get airlocks that are murder to get rid of. Dont leave any food in lockers (bread, rice etc) Field mice WILL know they are there and will probably finish off their feast with your upholstery.

All this advice is based on personal experience

Don't get stressed - when things go wrong, laugh at them!  We do & we've never had a row yet whilst trying to get the awning up or anything else.  We've given a few other campers a good laugh too when they've seen our antics but they nearly always offer help or advice once they've stopped laughing  (we're still new enough to be allowed to be incompetent with certain things)

Don't worry about making the inevitable mistakes

Don't hold it against your partner if they make the inevitable mistake

Don't put the bedding in an inaccessible place or make the bed BEFORE you go out to the pub.........

don't forget to keep a little note book of the sites you've been on, which are the good pubs,etc- it's handy for when you've done loads of trips and forget!

have a brilliant time and repeat  DON'T worry and don't feel embarassed to ask if you don't know something, or have forgotten something- that's how you make friends.
