Thanks for your reply; yes I am a caravan club member but wouldn't you know it, in all the years I've paid for it I don't think I've ever actually stayed on one of their sites!
Anyway, family circumstances have changed and our lovely new caravan is now looking at a summer in storage until 2006....such a shame, I thought about it and decided I would never be able to work all the gadgets and gizmos, I'm so used to my husband doing all the hard work, I just sit back and say 'well done dear' a lot! So, another year stuffed up by him having to go away but never mind, as we keep reminding ourselves a caravan is for life, not just for this year!
