That sounds a nice caravan we have a Bailey we brought brand new in 2008 not the same model you are getting but similar ours has a fixed bed and bunks at the front and we love it .We know alot caravaners who pack up touring and go the seasonal route with a static you must have enjoyed it after doing 12 years .

Welcome back to the touring and going to different places have you booked any where this year  there a lovely Adult Park near Melton Mowbray called Eye Kettleby Lakes.i can reccomend to you we think this site is awesome .

The Valencia is on order and delivery is due towards the end of February...

A couple of things i wanted to ask:

We are looking at awnings and hopefully nipping down to Glossop at the weekend weather permiting (last week of course snow was everywhere ) What i wondered was if anyone had one of those Outdoor Revolution Compactalite awnings as we saw  a 375 Hex at the caravan show in Manchester and i was quite "taken" with it as i thought it was fresh and modern and didnt have curtains (houseproud enough in my everyday life without worrying about curtains and tiebacks whilst on holiday!) They seemed quite lightweight but i worried how they would fare in both wear and tear and wind?

Secondly, i have booked a few sites both commercial and hopefully through the caravan club (once my membership comes through) and i wondered on what take the site have on leaving a dog in the caravan whilst you go out. My dog is good and once walked, fed and watered he generally settles down but what exactly is the defination of "must be supervised at all times"? Dont want to sound dim here, and being involved with dog rescue i am well aware of the do's and donts of care but didnt want to go out in the afternoon only to find the site owner running after me reading the riot act!

Answers on a postcard please ...

Had a look at this van just the other day.  Bit to blingy for me - otherwise a decent van.  Neighbour has one

Yes i did think it was a tad on the "flash" side myself originally when i saw it on paper, but once inside (only thing i wasnt fussed on was the mirrored ceiling light!) the caravan actually has a nice feel to it.

Originally, we had gone out on the day to look at a Pageant...but somehow i was somewhat distracted by the Valencia!

We  have  two dogs one a Jack Terrier who is 14+ called Sam (Sadly he is blind & Deaf now) The other one is Border Terrier who is 3+      called Sadie and she is great .

We  don"t  take them away my disabled  husband is at home 24/7 and he likes a break away from them but we do miss them not been with us that might change, if something happens to the older dog  but we hope not for a few years yet ..
