Hi everyone...

I am completely new to this, and have never towed anything before. I am therefore thinking of starting small....

I would like something like this http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-5232-2978-1/1?AID=9479574&PID=1428744&mpre=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Caravan_W0QQitemZ220252848703QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item220252848703&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14   but newer, but I have no idea what to search for, what they are called or where to begin... any ideas please? I wouldnt mind seconhand, but I would like something in good condition.

THanks in advance.

If living somewhere smaller than my house bothered me I'd get rid of the tourer and go for a static.  Any van is a compromise on space - thats why people use awnings. 

When I was younger ( and single ) I use to go to wild mountainous places with just a backpacking tent.  They were places where only people who travelled by foot ever got to see. 

 You need to take a look at freedom caravans etc. and see what you can live with.

Have a look at Eriba caravans.  You’ll find lots of information at http://www.eribaforum.co.uk/ where there are lots of Eriba enthusiasts.  More information at http://www.eriba-amiga.co.uk/index.html; there’s even a ‘For Sale’ section.

We have a Puck which can be towed by a small car like a Ford Fiesta or Nissan Micro and it's small enough to be secured in a garage.  It carries everything we need and we are not small people.

I have one for sale on the Free Ads on here. It is like the one Gemma 1675 used to have, many years newer than the one you looked at on E-bay. To be honest the reason we are selling is because we found it too small. For just me on my own it is perfect, but with a teenage son in tow who wants the TV, X Box etc peranently set up it was just too small.

My first Van was a small one. I thought, just my wife and self, no problems, we used it once as a couple and once on my own. It had an awning which doubles the size but I knew it was too small. I now have a Burstner Ventana with an island bed. Small or Big?......I would go for the biggest, providing the car will tow it. Even on W/E breaks you cannot beat the comfort of a bigger Van.

   Easy so say for me, I do not have the traffic problems that exist in the UK.  If I am slow, I do not get two fingers from overtaking cars.

Look no further than Eriba. It's the best.
