We've got Fenwicks i think.  I think any caravan cleaner probably does the job. 

And welcome to caravanning!  What caravan have you got?  And when do you 1st go away in her?

Welcome to UKCS! 

We went from trailer tent, to folding camper and then finally 'saw the light' and got a caravan after 4 years in the other outfits.  Best thing we ever did.  Not that we did'nt enjoy the TT and FC as we had many happy outings in them.

Any questions or queries (no matter how silly you think they are) just ask and you will usually get an answer (normally polite) on here.

Enjoy your tin tent!

Jazzycats.

Whilst you have the time why not sign up for a CC Towing course. Worth the money

(Shudders)

How can you not know what kind it is? How do you know if you can tow the thing?!?!

Towing a caravan's a bit more of a responsibility than bunging a tent in the boot. I hope you've bought well and with knowledge rather than jumping into the first thing you think you can afford. Do your research. Learn the rules. Start here and be sensible. Oh, and have fun!
