Well done you. Once you've done it you think to yourself well what was I worried about.

On Sunday I'm going away on my own. Me and Cora the dog. Now that is a scarey prospect. The towing OK I can do that but navigating,setting up and then packing up well thats another story. I tend to leave my OH to do all that stuff.

Wish me luck

Thanks everyone for congratulations. It gavae me a great feeling just knowing that I had the confidence to do it. Now can't wait to go again.

Really hope threads like this encourage other ladies to give it a go.

Happy Caravannig girls.

Congrats on towing the van.  I love towing our van and even if my hubby learns to drive I don't think I'd like him to tow it as I wouldn't trust him lol.  We'll be coming to Tintagel next month, hoping to get to see the other part of the castle (didn't have the energy to go up both sides lol).  Anyway keep up the good work for us women towers

Cathy, I've just come back from a week in the Lakes, just me and the dog. I got a good picture of the route in my head, programmed the sat nav and sat back and concentrated on the driving. I found setting up and packing up easier on my own because I've got a routine going now and nobody to hassle me to finish with the water/electricity/toilet. Mind you, I did get a motor mover fitted which is a lady-caravanner's best friend! You can always tell Cora it's her fault if it gets complicated - she won't mind, if she's anything like my dog, she'll either turn her back on you or grin at you!

Well done all us ladies who do!

Bit of a goddamned sexist thread ?!?!?

See lots of your derogatory/inane comments of other threads. I think your a

IWhy can't you be supportive to our fellow members male or female. Why the put down when a member feels a great sense of achievement ?

good on you girls for towing, okay I cant see the difference from a newbie bloke like me to a newbie girl but good on you

next thing you girlys will be proudly announcing that you can burp/fart flower of scotland like us boys

 Why do men think we want to be "equal" when we know!

we are already superior !!!!!! lol lol.

(sorry couln't resist, saw it on ebay this morning) lol

  >>>> whooops forgot to say <<<<    "" well done Cathy "  a great achievment,  isn't it good when people say "" you tow the caravan"???   lol

I loved the looks I got when I pulled into the service station (to let Cora stretch her legs) here's this big beast of a 4x4 towing a 23ft caravan the door opens and there's Cath. all 4ft 10ins of her. The look on peoples faces was hilarious !!!

It's a great achievement for anyone but I do think there are some things that men seem to take to quicker and do (dare I say) better than women. My OH can reverse as good as he can drive forward.

Where we store our van we need to reverse down a gap that's only ins wider than the car and about mtrs long. There is no way in the world I could do this. On the other hand there are lots and lots and lots of things ladies can do much better than men.

Hubby can back into most tight spots but now with a mover i can go off and leave him to it.
