Hi all,

Welcome to Adventure Caravaners. I am Nigel and I want to share with you all my caravanning experiences.

Whether you're new to caravanning or experienced I have been caravanning for over 15 years, I want everyone to join
me in sharing my tips, advice, trips, vlogs, security, and products reviews, plus memories.


I purchased our first caravan in 2004, I think starting into the caravan world was down to visiting static caravan for over
40 years. The other reason I purchased our 1st tourer caravan was to take the children all over the UK making memories.

I absolutely love the caravan lifestyle. The below caravan is now my fourth tourer caravan.
The caravan was purchased new in 2019, so I was looking forward to making many more memories without the children,
but they are now adults. Please leave a comment, below and I will try and reply as soon as possible. I hope you join me
along the way .

You gave me the answer I was hoping to hear. I just bought a 2018 BMW X1 s drive and searching for a suitable caravan. Now I know that I shouldn`t get a 7 metre one. They`re usually heavier than 1600kg. Thanks for the info.

Hi nigel I have the same mirrors and they are very difficult to secure I had to actually tape mine on to secure them so they wouldn't fall off

Hi Nigel could you please explain how the bedroom tv is getting the feed from the free sat box in the living area ? Is it using Wi-Fi like sky multi room or is it connected with a sat cable Im after this set up I’ve even got the same caravan as you but 2020 please help it’s driving me mad how your doing it 😂

Great review. Would be good to note it has preset function where in your demo you dont have to hold trigger when inflating. You can do hands free as it has the lock on/off button where you can sit back while it inflates automatically and stops when it reaches psi set

Can’t beat a Bmw mate nice Motor that although an auto with the zf box is way quicker than manual the shifts are lightning quick and for towing that’s a must and takes a lot of the hill issues away.. also your caravan is beautiful nice set outfit enjoy

Couple of questions, I currently use submersible pump in an aqua roll (no onboard pump in my van) presumably the mains water pressure makes my pump redundant? And secondly, how would you sterilise the interior of the 15mtr hose?

Hi Nigel This is my first time watching you and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I am picking up my new van on Saturday and it uses this system. I was told that if you use this type of setup instead of turning the water off at the mains just turn off the pump inside the van.

Thanks Nigel for your video, just bought a new tow car with the same tow bar fitted, the previous owner had never taken it off, so I had a bit of a struggle getting it disengaged but with a few sprays of WD40 and a few taps with a rubber mallet off it came, cleaned it up and now works perfect every time, very happy with this make of tow bar, and I’ve just subscribed to your channel Nigel, 👍. Can’t understand why you would pay for a detachable tow bar but never detach it 🤔.

@@AdventureCaravanners Thank very much Nigel, some people say clip it to the bracket with the 13 pin plug socket on it but that’s not strong enough for my liking, it would bend it or even rip it off, I am going your way, thanks again 👍.

Thanks for the demmo. I have heard that on some cars the towbar cannot be retro fitted if the wiring wasn't installed at tine of manufacture. I'm guessing this wasn't the case here.

The C&MC main Welsh sites in most of Wales are heavily booked for months ahead (as of April 2021), so these are useful alternatives, thank you. It will be great to hear how you get on with the sites you've not yet visited! I can recommend Min-y-Don in Harlech, Riverside in Betws-y-Coed and Llanberis Touring Park for you to try as well, but these are also heavily booked at present...
