Hi my wife and I have had a caravan for about 5 years but always had it on a seasonal pitch with storage facilities as my car wasn't big enough to use as tow vehicle. Now I have retired I have changed to a suitable tow car (a Nissan x-trail) and we would like to start using the caravan for its intended use and start…
