Old but new to this
I think we're a bit of an outlier - we are fist time caravaners and I am 59 - and we are really doing it on the cheap. Our main objective in buying the 'van is to go to a Festival or two next year.

Back after 20 years and enjoying it
When I sold my last van in 2001 it was a 10 year old ABI without a toilet, a shower, hot water, central heating but we enjoyed going to our Caravan Club sites with the kids and we had done since we bought the van new a decade before.

New member in Wisbech
Hi, Well, this was unexpected! After 'enjoying' seriously horrendous caravan-based holidays in my childhood, the last thing I was ever going to do was to buy a caravan. So I bought a caravan. My wife Kristy and I are now the happy owners of a Swift Azzura 400. Possibly not the most up to date van in the park but a great…
