Will do 
No towbar yet. That is next on my list. Was just going to go to the Citreon dealer unless there is a better way?

No no No find a indepedant Towcar fitters ,shop around the prices really vary a lot ,should be around £200 to 250 with twin electrics ,I would suggest you buy your caravan first to establish whether you need a ALKO dry type tow ball or standard greased one .and don't forget a number plate

Well I wouldn't go to the Citroen dealer for a start
Have a look on the Witter or the towsure towbar page I am sure they can recommend a specialist towbar firm which will be much cheaper than Citroën
Also don't forget to ask if you do buy that Caravan if they can throw in water/waste carriers and the like...

We used Derbyshire Towbars to fit ours, and found them very good.

Thanks helrog, and thanks for all the advice re towbars. I would have gone straight to Citreon which it sounds like would have been a mistake. I will look into Derbyshire towbars.
The dealership are throwing in a starter kit. I have forgotten now what it includes but I think it was waste and water carriers, gas bottle, they said all we need to get started. I will ask what else we can get and see if I can get any of the extras geoff&emmy managed! They are supposed to be coming back to me tomorrow with a deal.

Some dealers will call in your local towbar fitter and add a percentage to the cost.

Yes it was Fredted (I just added a bit to his post)I spent 20 grand and got very little But we had most of it from previous van anyway also try and get a new power lead as usually they take the old one out on second hand vans (on safety grounds or so they say)
But it does all add up you will be surprised and good luck

Ensure power lead and battery are included to ,the extras can cost as much as the van ,and I presume you have somewhere to keep it safely .???
