Tomorrow morning we collect our first caravan

Its a 2007 Coachman Amara 560/6 which we have bought from our local dealer - comes with a motor mover and all the bits we need to get going (gas bottle, hogger, wastemaster etc).  We were campers before so have lots of stuff we can use in van. 

Tomorrow is also one my daughters birthday (Lily will be 9) so we will be going on our first trip on her birthday which she is incredibly excited about.  We are off to Orchard Park at Tuxford for our first run - not to far away but far enough for my first attempt at towing a caravan.

Thanks for the comments everyone - it will be my first time towing which I am looking forwards to doing but I wouldn't be lying if I said I was also a little bit scared. When I pick the van up in the morning the salesman has offered to take me out for spin to show me the ropes so that's a good starter and after that I will take it slow and easy.
