Hi

My Name is Dave and my wife and me live in Cheshire

We have purchased a caravan late November (Luna Quaser Cosmos 554/2016)and we have not used it yet been getting to know the set up and all the elements etc 

We attended the October show 2016 at NEC this was the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle to determine what model make size of caravan we required. We also went to The show in Event city Manchester 2017 we were disappointed at the facility's at event city and the lack of company's who attended  the selection of stalls in accessories section was poor also catering was very poor. we made a decision already no other shows  for us other than NEC.

We planning a few three day trips within 30 miles of home just to settle in with the set up process before we go further later in the year.  Just waiting for our new air beam awning to arrive this coming week then i put it up a few times before we go on the trips

    Hi Dave

    Welcome to CT and caravanning. You will have lots of questions along the way so don't be afraid to ask. Plenty of experience and knowledge from the forum members.

    Enjoy the planning but more importantly enjoy being out and about with the caravan I'm sure you will love it

    Hi Dave, as a fellow Lunar Quasar owner, welcome to the Club and CT.

    Very good idea to stay local for that first trip, you are bound to feel the need of something you have left at home undecided

    Hope it all goes smoothly

    Welcome to the site from another Quasar owner. As said ask if you need help, there is lots of experience here. On sit do the same the majority of people are only too willing to help.

    If you use a club site for your first trip tell the wardens it is your first time and if they have time I am sure they will help you.
