I have gone from a ten birth tent to 6 birth caravan based on a impulse buy at last years NEC show.

I am waiting to pick up my brand new caravan (first ever caravan)which is a Swift Corniche 6 birth van. I have never towed anything before or have set up a van, am I mad or should I cancel? My partner and 3 kids are all excited but they don't have to tow it or set it up but I'm a quick learner and I'm sure after the first couple of times it will be fine.  We have already booked two trips one in March and another in April.I am trying to learn all the tips off the Internet and this site but I cannot believe from a novice point of view how much there is to remember. It would be great to get any of your top tips on anything to do with caravaning, please tell me I have not made a mistake.

Thanks

Craig
