On Monday my husband had the wonderfully random idea of suggesting we go and look at caravans, so off we went around the midlands to see what was on offer with no real intent of actually purchasing one.
Then for some reason we did buy one, completely spur of the moment and now we're stuck with it.
Hubby likes an easy life, he's not good at stuff around the home and I can see the caravan being the same, he will want to have as little involvement in it as possible once his job of getting it safely to it's destination is over. I saw him try and pitch a tent for the kids once, the tent was no longer fit for purpose by the time he was finished and promptly ended up in the bin.
Being new to this caravan lark and wanting our first outing to go as smoothly as possible I'm appealing to any hardened campers and caravaners out there for a list of vital purchases.
The van comes with the major components - awning, water barrels, toilet gunk etc, and I'm itching to go shopping for the good stuff!
