What age are your children?

Bunks may be an option for younger children. For older children they could have their own bedroom inner or pop up tent in the awning.

Simple answer, unless you want to put some in tents or in awning is a big caravan, modern twin axle, do you have the budget to buy it and the car and b+e licence to tow it?

A friend of mine will tow the caravan to the campsite for me, as I'll be leaving it in the campsite from may to September, then my friend will tow it back for me, I'm not sure about the budget yet, roughly around 3 or 4000??, as I'll have to pay the site fees and storage cost as well, I was hoping someone could recommend a caravan make?? And berth size ect, the older kids wouldn't mind sleeping in the awning, if that's even possible?? I'm not sure I'd get a big enough caravan for 3 or 4000 euro?? I really have no clue about caravans, thanks so much for yer help :) im hoping to get a second hand caravan.
               Thanks claire

Have a look on eBay. The cheapest 6 berths on there that look halfway decent (although you need to do thorough inspection and may be pay for someone to give it a thorough check) , are advertised at around d £4,000 to £5,000. Most people on here would advise your main priority when looking at 2nd hand vans is to check for damp. Also need to check that seller actually owns the van by checking Cris registration. Possibly better to wait now until October time or after for best bargains.
