We’ve gone and done it – we’ve just bought yet another caravan
We’ve only gone and bought another caravan. Well I say we, it was Sarah! She saw it on Facebook and that was that.
We lost our caravanning virginity in 2022 and if you’ve read my column over the years, you will know it’s had one or two problems.
I must say though, we rather enjoy it. Yes, the towing is a tad stressful for me and setting the thing up does bring several calls to the divorce lawyer, but when it’s up and working, its fab.
We are due to go away on our first holiday of the year next week, taking the old caravan back down to West Bay and I’ve been looking forward to it.

There is a lovely shower, changing area, wardrobe, and loo. The new one has sofas and a table which turns into a king size bed. This is what Sarah wanted.
The toilet of the new caravan is on the side now and the rear sofas turn into a bed which can

stay up all week and doesn’t need to be put away each day like in the old van.
