I'll never tow a caravan. Oops what happened
Hi
After years of camping and trailer tents I've given in and bought a twin axle caravan for holidays.
Thought I'd join the discussions as no doubt I'll be needing plenty of advice
We've bought a 2008 compass rallye 634 and an air awning and pick it up next week. Comes with aqua roll, wastewater, cable and gas.
Starting to compile a list of must have items so any suggestions are welcome.
If you see someone struggling to set up and being menaced by 2 dogs it will be me.

Hi Paul and welcome to CT. Have a browse around the index and, if you need advice on anything in particular, just start a new thread and somebody will be able to help.
Enjoy your new van.

Oh No!! you haven't bought a 2008 compass rallye 634 didn't you read any of the warnings on Club together...
Only Joking!!!!!
Is that the model with the L shaped lounge seating and big window
Enjoy your new venture, plenty of advice available here when you need it.
It may sound obvious but you didn't mention if it came with a battery, some people swap their battery out when they sell on, leaving the next owner to buy a new one.

Yes that is the one. It has the layout we like and a decent size shower.
Yes the deal came with aqua roll, wastemaster, new battery, hook up lead, step and chemicals.
Now I'm shopping for mirrors, wheel locks, hitch lock etc etc

We once had a Compass and found it well made. Maybe any hitchlock will fit I don’t really know but I do remember it being on a non alko chassis so got a Winterhoff hitchlock. It was I think a BPW chassis. Might be worth investigating. Good luck and enjoy.

Hi Paul
We have been in caravan and motorhome over approx 4 years and find caravan to be the best option for us, we had a lunar SI and nearly changed to a lunar SR basically to get the shower in centre but saw the swift challenger 850X with L shape lounge and we love it and decided this is a keeper, we have learned lots along the way from others on site and on reviews and still learning. Good luck be safe and enjoy.
