Just back from our first trip in our Lunar Ariva purchased 3 weeks ago.  Amazing the difference that 6 inches extra length and 2inch wider does (no sniggers please), we no longer feel we are falling over each other.  Although I was sorry to say goodbye to
our little Elf which had done us proud for 19 years.  The van came with a Vango airbeam awning.  Wasn't too struck at first, but once it was up and with 5 days use am now converted.  One thing though, where do we hang our coats, lol.  We ended up using the
small stepladder we take with us to reach the awning rail, as our "cloackroom".  Looking forward to our next trip away, which is next week when we are stewarding a rally at Walton.  Roll on June when we intend to decamp to Cornwal for the whole month. 

And can't praise the motor mover enough, we didn't have one on the Elf, but boy what a difference it has made to getting the van in and out at home.  Now stress free, lovely.

Hope everyone has a good caravanning season, we intend to.
