Picked up our new Bailey Loire today and can't wait to go away in it. So my 10 year old son and I have decided to spend the night in it tonight ( on the drive ).
Sometimes its nice to camp locally ha ha . My wife thinks we are bonkers.
Have to go now as my aquaroll needs filling up !

Hi Gary, Me and my daughter did exactly the same thing first night we bought our Bailey Scorpio several years ago.......possibly because we were so frightened it would get nicked off the driveway. It went into secure storage very next day.

We picked up our 'new to us' van last week.

We didnt sleep in it that night, but did wait till it went dark and tested all the lights and listened to the radio for most of the evening!

Well you have got to havent you?

I'm jealous!  Wish we could have done that.  Ours went straight to the storage site.  Hope you have a great 1st 'trip' in it!

What's her problem! I thought thats what everybody did,ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

every night spent in the caravan makes every trip cheaper i.e. number of nights used divided by cost of the caravan,makes sense to me anyway!!!!!

I felt like playing in ours today, as the sun was shinning, last time we used it (easter) it was dull, rain and muddy!

Nothing wrong with that,we've had our van for two years but only recently put it on the drive.My wife works nightshift weekends so sometimes me and the kids stay in the van for one night, so she can go to bed straght away and we don't disturbe each other.

I don't think any of us are mad. I go to my caravan, which is incidentally in secure storage, as often as I possibly can. I even take a flask of coffee, sit in it and drink my coffee. Maybe I am mad!!
