Title: First adventure in the new caravan
Post by: Auto Addict on 14 April 2009, 07:41:36
Had a great time on our first adventure.

Mrs AA can't wait to go again, stayed at a great Caravan Club site in Malvern.

Excellent facilities, friendly people, weather superb, great pub at Hanley Swan close by.

Towing facts, averaged 22.1 mpg - better than I expected.

I`m delighted the weather was so unlike Easter weekend`s usual offering!.....The first of many `appy`olidays I hope! :y

How many driveways did you manage to bodge tarmac? ;D

22 mpg while dragging a van is excellent for a 4pot. hardly makes lpg worth it.

Political correctness doesn't allow us to call them Pikey's anymore :( they are now officially known as 'Caravan Utilising Nomadic Travelers' or use the acronim :y

I could call Mr AA an awful lot of things, but I'm too scared of Mrs AA ;D

Guy's - I'm taking advantage of the "caravan" thread & need some guidance on my towbar. Is this the correct place to ask? :-/

Great one AA, obviously you had a brilliant time! 8-) 8-) ;)

Never fancied travelling around the country with a 'van', I wouldn't know what to do with the ponies! :D :D :D ;)
