 New to caravaning, never been before, just bought a bailey ranger from a local dealer. Scared to death that we will do everything wrong on our first camp would be grateful for any tips.

Hi Sue

We have a Ranger, just have a practice before you go. Things like electrics, gas operation, toilet cassette, water heater etc.

Practice especially with the awning. 

Did you get the manuals? If not just post on here and someone will help.

Most caravanners are really helpful if you get stuck on site.

Michael (regular poster on here) is a Ranger owner as well.

Good Luck
