Hello! As a young lad our family had a caravan and spent many a happy weekend/week away! Roll on the years and now with children of our own we spent a fantastic weekend at Buxton CC site using a relatives van. Since then we have taken the plunge and are
getting a van of our own in spring 2017 so looking to getting out and about exploring various parts of the UK! Sure I'll be asking lots of questions! :-)

    Hi Rob and a warm welcome to Club Together.  Best of luck in your search for the perfect van for you.  If there is anything we can do to help you in your quest for the right van, why not post any questions in the Caravans section.

    After lots of looking we decided on an Elddis Osprey (Avante) 586 as the layout suited our 2 young children. Looking forward to 2017 adventures! we better not go to NEC again as I have read (and have family) that have changed vans following the shows!!

    Sounds great Rob.  Some great times ahead for 2017.  I know what you mean about going to the shows.  After spending a small fortune at the NEC last February, I opted out of going this October.  Laughing

    Hi Rob.

    Welcome to you and your family. A new van is a massive investment but I'm sure you all will have many years of enjoyment from it,  I know we have.
