Have you looked at the Caravan and Camping Club? Some of the rallies ate brilliant, we have gone last 2 years and booked again for next July already for Hendra in Newquay on a Fully Serviced pitch for £22pn. It's a great site for kids as well!! Oh and great videos!!!

Welcome to the world of touring. There's a plethora of things to forget from locking cupboards to leaving the aerial up. I have a sequence to aid hitching and un-hitching but I'm easily distracted and still miss things. Thing is all about making memories and this sounds like one you won't allowed to forget for a while.

Love a nice easy fix, it’s given me confidence incase it happens to me, good thinking with raising the front up to make life easier

Great Video. Keep enjoying making memories they’re priceless 👍

What a lovely little family. I have 2 boys that look very similar age. Caravanning is the best! Mine love the adventures as I see yours do too. As you are a member of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, I strongly recommend you look at the CL sites. These are 5 pitch, private sites and a lot cheaper and you get much more room. I would also recommend a site called Search for sites. This shows you all the sites around you, including the CL's. Happy caravanning and I look forward to seeing many more of your adventures.

If you're going fully servived more often id 100% the truma ultraflow its essentially a hose pipe direct into van from supply so no need for aqua roll. For us its been the biggest convenience. Keep up the vids informative and well edited

We stared to caravan as we had young children, and a family holiday was getting expensive. A caravan on the other hand was a cheaper way for us to have a holiday with all the fun and freedom it affords.

If you don’t make mistakes you never learn👍👍

Never seen how to do this before and never thought to carry a spare, so thanks for that 👍. Off to Amazon...

Good video. I think that cable is something that every caravaner should be able to change. Their not too hard to do and need changing if the outer is damaged! Which may not be cheap to have fitted as one off job. Talking of mistakes I've forgotten to remove both milenco wraith wheel locks (twin axle) before using quad motor mover! Lots of torque and two bend lock bodies & pins but still able to use them fortunately. Simple mistakes are easy to make even for more experienced owners. Love your honesty in the video.

Great little video. We all learn by our mistakes. My husband almost did it last year and we’re fairly experienced caravanners.

Easy mistake, done it myself just after we had a new towbar fitted. All my own fault 😂

Very easy mistake to make. You won’t be the first or last. A mistake I’ve nearly made more than once is to not disengage the motor mover. Luckily one of my crew has reminded me each time, as it would be a VERY expensive mistake to make. You’d think it wouldn’t happen after nearly 40 years, but, I was in a rush each time. So your right, don’t rush. 😊

Hi wondered why you close your curtains I just close my blinds never used the curtains Lot of messing keep tying them up

Love the content as uaual😊 I think they put the prices us for Xmas and new year we are at Tredegar house in Newport atm and it’s £45 for the 4 of us per night then next week drops down next week looks like a lovely site you need to check Tredegar house out amazing loads for the kids to do as well 😁

Great video guys like the way you vlog and look forward to following your adventures, I live in Littlehampton and can confirm Harbour Park is great for kids in the summer. We haven't renewed our CCMC membership this year as we find the sites overpriced and dislike the per person pricing, looking at the age of your children, I would recommend Warner Farm touring site, in Selsey it's not cheap but you get so much included, swimming, entertainment etc we've been going there for years and our grandchildren love it

Just been watching your first three trips away its a learning curve an so much to remember an do one tip before you put hook up to van make sure the trips are down on rcd board then flick up an push test button when connected just as precaution we been doing it for twelve yrs now an still forget to put drain tap down 4o ltrs dumped on to floor 😂

Hi new sub been to hm six tmes now lovely si check out Wareham Forest Tourist Park, south lychett manor poole both great sites Re: aqua roll we stand are's up put pump pipe through a larger solid pipe it will stop it curling up in roll enjoy guys

I think what you paid is expensive,especially for this time of the year even if it’s close to Christmas

fully serviced pitch are a game changer when you have the full setup, sounds expensive for 2 nights though that site, try some CL sites, a lot cheaper, quieter and usually very nice, you wont get facilities like club sites, but with that caravan you'll cope well.

Love your channel. Suggest you put heating on low overnight.should stop window getting wet hope this helps y&r

Really enjoyed the video. You have a lovely family. We live in Littlehampton which caught my eye for the video, in the summer it’s really excellent! Keep up the great content very engaging.

Where are you off to next, I’m sure you mentioned it. 😂

My gripe with the caravan and motorhome club is the way they charge for extra people when booking. A while ago I made a a mistake when booking a pitch, I’d gone through the booking thinking this is a good price £25 a night. Just before finalising the booking I realised I’d forgotten to put my wife on the booking, when I added her (one extra person) to the booking it put an extra £22-70 per night on the price. The pitch would be the same for one or two people, the amount of electric would be the same, maybe we’d use a bit more water and produce a bit more waste. And if we used the facilities it’d mean one more shower, in my mind £22-70 for slightly more water and waste plus one extra shower is a bit steep. I can understand a small charge for administration and an extra use of the shower, but not £22-70. So I do think the CAMC is ripping us members off by overpricing!

Just watched your vlog for the first time and found it very good. We started off caravanning 25 years ago with our kids (daughter 6 weeks old at the time ). We are still doing it and have learnt loads over the years. One thing to watch, your breakaway cable shouldn’t be hooked over the tow ball, if the caravan comes off the ball the wire can jump off to. It should be properly clipped to a secure ring on the tow bar for safety, on top of that if you get stopped with it looped over tow ball you could get fined. Keep up the good work 👍👍

Love watching your caravanning videos, Great content keep it up 😊

Should also say try independent sites. Winter opening ones like the one up at Dunwich heath are super reasonable per night including electric ( just down coast from Lowestoft and Yarmouth) - and are on the cliffs above the beach with steps to beach. Not all campsites are CAMC rip off in winter but you need to know the good touring sites… check pitch up for independents

We rarely use CAMC. The other club is miles cheaper looks at the CACC temporary sites. Often charged at per unit per night at around 12-15 a night. The other thing in summer is a non EHU grass pitch can be as little as a tenner a night on their club sites. It’s often 40% off if you do grass no EHU and rely on your batteries and solar. Makes literally 3-4 nights at other club cost same as one at CAMC. Worth noting short stays at the other club often cost more as the discount codes mentioned only work for 3 night or longer stays in spring to October. So if you need only two nights book 3 !

Great Vlog, look forward to the next one 👍

Great vlogs, especially the three sites we have not visited yet, nice work 👍

We leave our blinds about an inch from the bottom over night, especially the panoramic window this has cured our condensation. 👍

We always check the map out on the website when we book it and see the best pitches so when you get there you already have an idea of the layout. Also you can plug your van into the water so no need to keep filling your aquaroll, and you can drain your waste stright into the drain without using your waste container. We have a pipe which connects to our drain outlets and goes stright into the drain. We have now been caravaning for 6 years and we are still learning about things.. Enjoy your van..

Another great video looks like a nice campsite was thinking of joining one of the clubs myself just an observation I noticed your breakaway cable was round the towball if you can find another way to attach it I have a hole on my towbar next to the electrics for the breakaway cable I know yours is a different setup but if the caravan was ever to come of the car the cable could possibly come of as well

Hi guys we all Make mistakes . If you are a member of the motorhome and caravan club join the chat room you will learn a lot there . Loads of other people on here doing caravan . Try keith & Michelle, carvan nut, trugians , beyond the blue door, to name just a few. We always connct to service pitches. Then there is only the toilet cassette to empty. We use the shower in our caravan so much easier. Have fun learning. Dave 😊 0:43

Another tip i got told, pull forward in the car abit so when you unhook your caravan your hitch is easier to remove from the tow ball. And i know the m27 so well😂im from Southampton 😊 looks like a nice camp site👍🏼

We are a family of 6, we went camping in a tent and it rained so much it started to leak, my wife went on market place found an old 1989 5 berth swift caravan 10mins away from us, and we bought it there and then. Took it out few more times then decided to buy a newer one, bailey pageant auvergne 5 berth went out 7 times this year to some great camp sites .have booked 3 holidays for 2025 already. Love towing and love spending time with the family. Great video mate all the best

Ccc sites are so much cheaper that is double the price we pay

Hi great vlog. I'm not sure if site increase prices due to other site not opening all year round. I do know that many CAMHC members have either cancelled or not renewed their membership due to prices. Many private sites are competitive with pricing. It might be worth you having a look at family sites in the areas you want to visit. If you are going to book fully serviced pitches then I would invest in the hose and waste pipes to make full use and extra costs.

Hi, Just flicking through RUclips and came across your channel. CAMC sites do have dynamic pricing especially now, we know this has we have seen a big price change in our 16 yrs of caravaning 😮. If you are going to keep using serviced pitches, then yes, get the hose and grey waste pipes 😊. One way to help reduce condensation is to open the kitchen window whilst cooking. Also at night time just close the curtains and leave the blinds open helps with air flow to the windows. Enjoy your van. 👍

Wow - £50 a night, maybe time to look outside of the CAMC. UK Campsite Finder (you may already use this), threw up several sites (EHU, hardstanding, toilets/showers, dogs, park) within a 15 mile radius of Salisbury. Good luck on your next travels. Many private/independent sites include for up to 4 people in their prices - the CAMC charge for each person and the cost can soon ramp up. As an example, Littlehampton CAMC, 29th December (one night), one adult, £26.30, two adults £38.40, two adults + 2 children £46.00. So a child only costs you £4 extra but an adult £12 extra!! Do try non Club sites, I think you'll be surprised at the value and quality. PS - subscribed, interesting to follow your journey as newbies and real world reviews. Have a great 2025.

A couple of windows in night mode overnight normally does the trick with condensation, although you may have already had a build up from the cooking before you slept.

Sounds expensive! There are several general comments about the cost of camc site fees a lot of folks have cancelled their membership because of high costs. Don't know how they arrived at that cost I went to Sandringham camping and caravan site (I'm a member of both) I know it's only me and the dog but for 4 nights on a grass pitch with electric it cost me £64. Yess I've got an OAP discount dogs go free the staff are fantastic helpful take you to your pitch on a bike, facilities are fantastic and well up to snuff. Your getting better with practice. It's always a learning curve. Have a prosperous and happy new year

To help with condensation, crack a couple of roof lights on vent. Obviously heat rises and with all you in the caravan is going to cause a lot of condensation. Hopefully this helps 👍🏻

I think it would be a stretch to claim they have "dynamic pricing" but price definitely varies by demand at any time of year, you can see it on their booking site if you look at availability over a longer window. You should try a Camping and Caravanning Club site just to compare, usually cheaper and friendlier, less regimented, a bit more chilled. I agree that the number of club sites open all year is disappointing. We've done Littlehampton in the summer, nice location, had a couple of good days out to Bognor and to Brighton on the train.

We have a mini dehumidifier that we run through the night. We stayed there earlier this year on pitch 31. A very nice little site.

Thanks for the window 🪟 hoover tip. Will try that out. Sounds expensive to me! But place looks good. Fully serviced pitches look after water coming in via taps and water going out via drains. Saves a lot of hassle 😊

Great zlog. We are in our first year with a caravan and there is so much to know. It will all come the norm soon. The level of condensation you have seems extreme. Could be from cooking.

Another great video. Thank you 😊

What a lovely family, enjoyed your vlog, glad you came up on my feed. Will look forward to following you in the future.

Looks like a lovely site will have to give it a try 😊 we have the aqua roll stood up 😊
