Hello there!  This seems a really friendly place to be so I am taking the plunge.....I am researching my first caravan and have just bought my tow car (09 Skoda Octavia 1.9tdi Automatic Diesel) which can tow up to 1400 officially.  I've had Skodas for the
last ten years but the Fabia wasn't going to cut it with a decent van!  I am saving for my van which all in will have a budget of up to £6000.  It's just me and teenage daughter (with Yorkshire Terrier) and in a couple of years probably me solo so a motor
mover will be essential. I will be sticking as much as possible to the 85% ratio and have matched on the outfit matching area.

Has anyone got a German van or Adria or Freedom with views on what they think of them?   I am also finding it very difficult to find any dealers in the UK and would really appreciate some help here.  I've found
Automoative Leisure for Eriba but beyond that am hitting a wall.  I'm happy to travel as far as Yorkshire from Sussex. 

In particular if anyone knows of a really good Knaus/Weinsburg dealer over in Europe that would be fantastic.  I've become a bit overwhelmed by the choice!  Holland might be a good idea for the English speaking aspects as my French won't be up to such a
difficult transaction.

Thank you sooooooo much in advance for any help!!
