Buying Your First Caravan – Tips & Considerations

 

 

For many, the New Year is a time to consider making lifestyle changes and choices before the year that is ahead. One of the amazing lifestyle choices that you can easily consider going into 2020 is purchasing a brand new Bailey Caravan or preloved caravan. As the world of caravanning is vast and exciting – you may need a spot of inspiration or a point in the right direction when choosing your first caravan.

 

In this article, you will find a comprehensive guide which will help you find your first caravan. From covering the basics and what you will need to consider to eventually choosing your first caravan – this blog post will help you find the caravan that is perfectly suited to your requirements.

 

Starting Your Search – Establishing Your Requirements

 

The first thing that you will need to consider is what you will need when on out on the road and also when you pitch up at your camping destination. As your caravan is a home on the road – it’s only natural that you will want your caravan to have your favourite features and this can easily be reflected in your choice of caravan with some careful considerations. Some starter points to consider are as follows:

 

• Think about the size and layout of caravan that you will need. If you are going to be travelling on an adventure for 2 then you can choose a smaller caravan than if the whole family are going to be coming with you.
• If you do need a larger caravan then you will need to consider your towing vehicle and relevant driving license. It’s important to check this as you will need a larger towing vehicle & additional driving tests to be able to tow the larger caravans that are available.
• Consider what additional features you will need. This will also include caravan insurance (as car insurance will not cover your caravan) as well as other aspects such as awnings, caravan accessories and security products.
• Where will you store your caravan? This could also affect the size of your caravan if you do not have a storage facility that is large enough to house your caravan in the off season.

 

Deciding to Purchase a Caravan

 

Caravanning is becoming more and more popular across the country and beyond. In comparison to paying for flights and paying for hotels – caravan holidays are much more cost effective and still just as much fun! You are also able to move at your own pace so you won’t have to worry about the frantic rush to the airport or frustrating delays. 

 

Once you have considered your personal requirements and chosen the type of caravan that perfectly suits you – it’s now the time to decide to make a purchase. As this is your first caravan – you may have not driven with a caravan in tow before so this may also affect your choice of caravan. If you are happy with the caravan that you are looking for and have considered all of your requirements – it’s time to go and purchase your first caravan!
