Yes you will love it believe me!

We tented for years then got a caravan it was so comfy, I didn't appreciate it until we had to sell it to do up our house and went back to a tent (I hated it, sleeping on an airbed or trying to! Might sound funny but I hate all the zips and everything flapping about in the wind, lol, then we tried a folding camper, but still not the same, now we have a mini caravan, I love it, its not got all the mod cons but its a start in the right direction for us

welcome to a whole new world, especially with the best british summer weve had!!!

I think the best bit for us when we changed was not trying to put the tent away when its was raining. The arguments were great at that point as we both just wanted to be packed and home. Enjoy.

We started off in a caravan and then decided we were not old or boring enough and got a tent and never looked back ,it is soooo much more fun and it actually feels like a proper adventure !

The van always felt small ,cramped and boring

We moved from caravan to tent and never looked back!!!

Now we take care of mum and so have bought an 06 Bailey ,lovely van ,great for taking mum but the Tent is 100% better and we far enjoy our time away mre than any shed

Lesa ,do you not have to pack your awning up when its raining then ?
