We would just like to say HiCool

This weekend we picked up our Coachman Amara after a 26 year break from caravaning. Very pleased with it, a lot has chnaged since our last one ( A Lunar Clubman) back in the 80's. 

Booked our first trip to Fairlight Wood, Sussex Used go there back then so seems a good place to start with again before the season ends to get the hang of how the heating etc works, then we'll put in to storage for the Winter.

Hope to meet some of you maybe somehwere one day.

Ian & Pat (and Sparky & Buddy the Border Coliies)

    Welcome to the Club and CT from me too Ian and Pat.

    Why put your unit in storage for the winter? Modern vans with their insulation and efficient heating systems can be used twelve months of the year.

    Write your comments here...Thanks for the welcome. Lifes not that simple for us at the moment. We care for my 91 year old Mother in Law who lives with us. We are going to try and use it a lot next year but we need to get care arranged first.

    Ian.

    Welcome to Club Together Ian and Pat. Have a nice time with your new caravan. We use ours all the year round. We spent most of last winter alternating between Gatwick Caravan Club site and Brighton Club site as they were both open all year. We spent Christmas
    and New Year in our caravan.
