You guys are awesome. You take your time to give people great advice but don't claim to know everything, Your appreciative of advice given to you aswel, You both let the other one talk without talking over each other which makes you a great couple, and you take the time to reply to everyone that you can. The world needs more people like you two. It's a pleasure to watch your videos. Big thumbs up 👍
Here is another tip, not sure if it has been aired before or not. Now that Winter draws are on, the risk of encountering water logged & just muddier ground, is increased. Often this does not cause an issue until we come to pack up & leave. If you are on a grass pitch & think that traction may be an issue this tip can often help out. Rather than hitch up in line with the caravan, hitch up at a 45 degree angel. When you move forward with traction at a premium, the pulling load on the car is much less as you are only going to move 1 wheel on the van while turning. Then straighten up & drive forward. This have worked for me twice & I drive a 4wd. Cheers for now - Non Stick Nick
Another tip we used to use on our Coachman. If your caravan has corner steadies where the drive nut is not visible , you can get a short length of PCV pipe that fits over the drive nut and secure it with normal plumbing pipe clamps to the van floor. Cut the pipe so that it sticks out from the body slightly. Then just insert your wheel brace into the pipe to locate onto the drive nut with ease. Regards Non Stick Nick
Awsome clips just started following you, and as first ever trip with our 2nd hand van in 3 weeks cant wait! But....have to know what I need to buy to put in the sweet jar! It's obviously an essential item !🤣...I will make sure to buy the recommended supply! Thanks and have fun on your travels!
Many thanks for watching Ishbel & welcome to our channel. The sweetie jar is always full with a variety, particularly jelly beans & pink shrimps 😀 Have a fabulous first trip away, sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
Many thanks for your kind words Terry, if you have any queries you can email us directly info@carefreecaravanning.co.uk We’ll be happy to help. Wishing you many happy travels & adventures, Keith & Michele.
More excellent tips and experiences. An interesting one on the void warranty because the dealership didn't service the caravan on time. Glad that one ended well for the owners.
The tips are not just good for new caravaners they are great also for seasoned caravaners, lots of great tips and good to hear other experiences. Thanks guys
Reference the truma blown heating. We have been caravanning for 3 years now in our 2004 bailey and can assure every one the work well and are not noisy we use all year around as well. Keep up the good work
Hi Keith & Michelle, Loving your frank and honest videos. We pick up our new to us, first caravan in the next 2 weeks. Thanks for sharing your videos so helpful to newbies like us! Keep them coming! Gem & Ray
Hi Gem & Ray, Congratulations on your new caravan 🎉 Wishing you many happy travels & adventures 😀 Many thanks for your kind words & thanks for watching 👍🏻 Keith & Michele.
Hi both, just to update your viewers, Colapz now offer rock pegs for their waste pipes, much stronger than the original. We use a fabulous site in Melton Mowbray where the pitch is tarmac, so even rock pegs will not go in, I had to use wooden blocks to raise the pipe as the water would not drain away as the drain outlet was quite high compared to the actual pitch. On Tyron Bands, we had tyres changed on our previous van and the mobile fitter had a tool to take them off when he changed the tyre, it is not as difficult as some people seem to think. You don’t have to go to a specialist fitter.
Thanks for another useful video. As an ex caravanner and now a motorhome owner many of the tips carry across both “paths”. You made me smile about cupboard contents - one answer is with a caravan you try to get weight down low and over the wheels. With a motorhome you just have to put up with rattles and bangs from various lockers! I didn’t quite follow the tip about the step and using plastic pipe. I use jack pads on the legs and it stops the step from “shuffling” on the awning carpet. Also some pipe insulation will stop the ‘van from being marked by the step. Mike
One old tip that seems out of date since satnavs came along..... I find that signposts seem to be scarcer the closer you get to your destination. So while at home using a felt tip marker I would write easy to read instructions on a sheet of A4 - eg a circle with an arrow would be a roundabout and the direction to take. The felt tip would bleed through the paper and with the sheet placed upside down on the dash the instructions could be read by looking at the reflection and not having to take your eyes off of the road. Sort of old fashioned head up display! I suppose nowadays we’re not allowed to do that but it was so handy when I was by myself and my navigator was at home!
Just like to add to the comment made about is the Truma heating fan noisy, we have a 2008 Abbey GTS 418 with the old version of Truma blown heating via the the heater and we do on occasions use the van on our drive. We have the heating on at 500 on the ultraheat dial and the fan speed of 3 and we can 100% say that it cannot be heard and that is at the foot of our fixed nearside bed but it sure keeps us cosy well it did last night.Can't get enough of our caravan either home or away. As for the fixed bed it's a no brainer if your a couple no making up beds when you get in if late at night and I'm 6'1"
Hi we keep are 2001 swift in storage so mostly everything come's home in boxes untill we go on holiday again and we tow the caravan with a p reg discovery so we are slow as we are going along the slipway on to the motorway and most people do move over.keep up with the blogs do enjoy watching them
Greetings from a very wet Cheshire ! Home that is - not in the van! Thanks for the mention Keith & Michele- lots of good advice for newbies and old hands Appreciate a lot of work gone into collating all that info and well presented Best regards HOWARD
You’re welcome Howard, all these tips, advice & experiences are proving incredibly useful to all those new to the caravanning community 👍🏻 Many thanks for kind words & your continued support 😀 Kind regards, Keith & Michele.
Hi Keith & Michele, Enjoy your vlogs, In this video my wife & I are intrigued by the Scenery from your front windows! We have been both caravaners & Motorhomers for 27 years (back to tugging since 2016) & haven’t come across anything like this. At first I thought it was the view of an actual campsite however the more I looked it became apparent that it seems to be perhaps a cover or something?? Could you put our minds to rest & let us into your secret scene? Lol 😂 Michael & Helen Bridges
Hi Michael & Helen, Welcome to our channel. The view through the window is genuine 😀 We were staying at a site called Eye Kettleby Lakes in Leicestershire. It is absolutely beautiful there, we highly recommend it & definitely worth a visit if you get the chance. We did do a site tour of this location which you can view on our channel. Honestly can’t say enough times how beautiful this site is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Sending our best wishes to you both, stay safe, Keith & Michele.
Carefree Caravanning, Oh Wow I feel so stupid now Lol 🤣🤣 my wife said it was an actual site, i was like no I recon it’s a picture on a towing cover! Haha lol the site looks beautiful tho👍. We like the Tranquil sites ourselves so will definitely give Eye Kettleby Lakes a try once sites reopen😂... Now off to eat humble pie & tell my dear wife she is once again correct lol 🤗xxxx
If you’re a member of the RAC & join the camping & caravan club, they give you a code to give to the RAC to upgrade your membership to cover the caravan as well as the car & it’s a FREE upgrade
My tip is when using Puriclean to sterilise the water system dissolve the powder in warm water. Otherwise the powder doesn't dissolve fully and powder is left in the bottom of the container
My bed is a slide out type and is 6'1" long, I'm 6'4" so have bought a block of foam the same thickness as the mattress and 3" wide and the same width as the mattress so it drops in at the top of the bed, giving me the right length bed, you do lose some walk around space at the foot of the bed but still doable
thanks for the uploads guys ive binged watched the whole lot! and subbed ive been a moho owner for years but only this week made the change to a caravan ,and realised i know next to nothing about caravans lol ,you've been a great lifeline great work guys!!
Hi Martin, Congratulations on your new caravan 😀 Delighted you’ve found our videos helpful. Many thanks for your kind words & thanks for watching 👍🏻 Keith & Michele.
Hi Keith and Michele. Thank you very much for asking about the fixed bed layout for us! We have since purchased a new to us Swift Challenger 580 SE with a fixed bed. Absolutely love it, and as someone else said, the bed is fine even at 6ft 1 as how often do you sleep completely straight? Keep the advice coming we love it!
Hi, You’re welcome 😀 Delighted you’re enjoying your new caravan & finding the bed suitable 👍🏻 Wishing you many happy adventures & travels 😀 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.
Yeah when you view empty caravans it doesn't give you clues and tips how you can improve your life whilst using it the most easy efficient way, maybe keeping things in plastic baskets & trays in drawers and cupboards helps you remove and store your belongings, emphasis on plastic where possible because its lightweight.
Keith, Michele. Just to clarify as it were, I am Nick Tilling and Jan Scott is my partner of 15 years. We use her email address for everything so is why you get this for comments etc. Great vid as always guys keep up the good work as these tips are really useful for beginners. May catch up with you on a site next year hopefully. Nick T.
On the subject of keys.... we have 2 sets of key. Each set has 2 section connected with a small spring clip. Section 1 is the the main caravan keys - door - locker etc. Section 2 is all the security keys - wheel clamp - hitch look etc. When set up, each of the section 2 sets are placed in the car for safe keeping.
Keith, Michele. Beds on Swifts like ours are 6ft 1inch X 4ft 4inch when in night mode, so should be long enough for a 6ft 1inch person. Hohever would suggest checking out the spec of the bed on line from the manufacturers website befor commiting to buy. Or just lie on it at the dealership, they wont mind !!!!!
We have just had our caravan serviced and our dealer does contact us by lettter. They also confirm the booking and remind us of which equipment to remove before the service, again by letter.
We have a van where we have to make the bed up every night and the Truma equipment is under the seat. As such at night when the temperature drops the fan is a lot more audible than in a fixed bed layout I think because your head is closer to it. Great tips!
More great tips and a delightful watch too, thanks Keith ‘n Michele, appreciate your time in producing these helpful vlogs... 👍🏻✅ Wonder what Motorhomers will come up with/have come up with for Caravanners... 🤷🏼♂️ 🤪 Cheers, Rog... 😉 🐍
Thank you so much for another great video. myself and the family have just completed our first season with a caravan and love it. Your advice along with what other people send you to pass on has helped us a lot. look forward to the next one.
Hi Major Sprite, we’re humbled to know that our videos have proven useful to you & others. Delighted you’ve had a great season, here’s to next year 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.
i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@August Chad Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Hi Mark, Unfortunately this isn’t the case with all dealerships 🙁 It would appear from the comments that some do & some don’t. Thanks for watching 👍🏻 Keith & Michele.
If you are joining the motorway please do not forget the one's that are on it have still got the right of way , So if you can not get up to speed or there is no room for you to join you are the one that has to stop , So please don't keep coming on to the motor way or try to make others move over from lane one to lane two because they don't have to by law .
Thanks for charing my tips and our story on your page! Tomorrow is the premier for our new caravan, even that it is late fall here in Sweden. :) Who can stop a caravaner from caravaning? :D

Hi Keith and Michele lovely to see you guys again good points and tips again I do think it helps alot do u hear your trauma blown air heating at nite when u in bed much cheers .kev
Hi Kev, We don’t hear the heating at night but we do have it on low (as it’s very effective). Many thanks for your kind words & thanks for watching. Keith & Michele.
Hi Jeff, the glasses are short stemmed, bubble base wine glasses from Amazon, here’s the link amzn.to/2GSgMhd This link is for a set of 2 but you can get them in a set of 4 or 6. Hope this helps, thanks for watching 👍🏻 Keith & Michele.
Just to point out, the advice on the sliproad is slightly incorrect - you CANNOT and MUST NOT pull onto the motorway unless it is clear to do so - the end of a Slip Road is a YEILD, it's not an automatic right of way. Adjust speed to match the speed of the motorway, and look for a suitable gap - DONT anticipate that people will move for you, many wont.
Hi Lew, It would take too long to list everything here but The Caravan & Motorhome Club have an article on “Thinking of buying a second-hand caravan?” which is very useful & covers most things. Hope this helps, thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.
Hi Lucy, Holidays in general have not been an option recently, obviously due to the pandemic but we do, at times, have a holiday with family abroad. Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.

Hi really loving your channel,
My question to you is what sort of things should I be looking out for when buying a used caravan.
