Recently bought our first caravan after many years I have towed from the age of seventeen, then had a caravan in mid 80's when the kids arrived.it was a Sprite Musketeer and was olden but golden, even back then. This is the point: I felt quite experienced and capable having done several thousand miles including a 3 week grand tour of France , towing and dozens of 700 mile round trips to Cornwall.However, when I got my 1996 'van,(an ageing 'van itself (?), I couldn't find the reversing lever on the draw hitch.Then I read a recent thread and discovered that these were only on very old 'vans.

Oh dear! A lot of time has gone by. I had better get right up to date again, with all the safety issues etc. You are never to old to learn! But how time passes............ 

It must be 20/30 years since they were non automatic?

David has now made me feel old......... This on top of being short and fat............

On a brighter note, we have a toilet room in our Microlite and I have found a shower tray which fits along with matching corner wash basin! We can now have a hand held shower with "flying" lead shower hose.Great for those CL's with no washblock, like the Beacon in Cornwall. Cannot wait to get going!
