Very good Thread well done OP,,

Well we used to be into our camping big time often going about 6 times a year then in march i had to have fluid drained from my hip joint that left me very sore. So about 6 weeks ago we bought an old Trophy agilic et4 for £450 (big money).

We went away for 4 night to Fron Farm in Mold in Wales and whilst we were away we past a caravan sales place called A&B Caravans which is just off the A55 j31. We seen the van that was perfect for us the right set up and everything with it including the awning. Then we spent the next two days thinking about the perfect van and our old van seemed so old fashioned.

To cut a long story short a week later we picked up our Bailey Ranger 500/5 for £7500 over 10 times more than our original £450 spent, we've have a couple of night away in the new Caravan and we just love it to bits so perfect for us. I will miss Camping however but i'm looking forward to the good times in the van,,,

Hi Darren

 What got me into caravanning was my sister, she has had a tourer for years & after talking at a family party i decided to buy a trailer tent then six monthes later we got our first caravan, now on caravan number 3 & never looked back lol

 Cheers Eddy & co  

Tried hubby with a couple of nights in a tent, he enjoyed the freedom but didn't like the tent. We were travelling back from a weekend away (B & B) a few monthes later when we dropped into a caravan show room and we ended up with a trailer tent.

Two years with the trailing tent and then out of the blue he suggested a caravan, we went to look at a 2nd hand van through a private add by the time we got there it had been sold.We knew of a showroom some 20 miles away so since we were out we went for a look and bought a 2nd hand van that was only 2 years old which we've now had for 6 years and the rest is history.
