The Swift Base Camp 2 is my first caravan. In 25 years of driving I have never towed anything let alone a caravan. In this vlog I reflect on the past seven months of ownership and talk about my initial fears with 'towing' and 'reversing' and how I overcame them.

Great content. I've never towed and picking up our Coachman next week so a bit bigger than your lovely little Basecamp ! I'm nervous too especially as we're going just 20 miles to a campsite straight from collecting it . Then got 100 mile journey home 2 days later!

3:25 "The best place for a tailgater is in front of you". I like that attitude! It's good to see from later videos how much the practice has paid off, and how confident you are at reversing.

It’s a year later now…..I’m still getting there😂. I always practice and include the footage in the vLogs.

Thanks Nick, very useful. I jackknifed our BC in a lorry park last week 🥲 some, fortunately very minor, damage to the tow bar, and lesson learned - I’ll be doing practice reversing on every site we go to now! Will watch some of those videos you mention too. I know exactly what I did wrong - oversteered, and corrected too late ….. so practice is definitely the answer!! B road towing is still my fear…… but will sort it 😊👍

I pick up our Basecamp 2 next month. I’ve never towed in my life. Feeling a bit apprehensive and nervous about towing it home.
@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales
@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales 2 года назад
I know that feeling well and we have all been through it. All your fears will melt away once you’ve driven a few miles. It’s does get easier each and every time. Best of luck.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've never towed anything in my life as well... I am worried about this... Not for my future caravan but for the safety of the others... But videos like yours give me that kind of "just do it" attitude! I actually smiled when you told about that turn on the tractor patch Keep it up! :)

Definitely go for it. Towing like everything with a caravan becomes easy over time. There is a pain barrier to push through at the beginning but after that it’s all enjoyable😊

Very inspiring videos and a great advert for the Basecamp. What is the fabric on the bench seating, is that Basecamp specific?
@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales
@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales 2 года назад
Thanks John😊. The fabric is a just a throw to protect the seats from the dogs muddy paws!

Watching newbies setting up on site is an entertaining pastime. Some of the things we've seen. 😱 I always try to help if someone obviously hasn't got a clue. Best one was a couple of years ago - Mr & Mrs Newbie turned up, sited van, put legs down, got everything out of van and set up. Mrs Newbie then connected the electric hook up...........only to find that they'd pitched up 2 feet further away from the EHU point than their cable would stretch. We we're in hysterics. 🤣

Arrr yes…. I have done that but with the grey water pipe on a serviced pitch. I had already put the awning up aswell🤦🏻‍♂️😂.

l don't understand what's so funny about someone pitching up too far away from the electrical hook up. Hopefully they won't have been put off by their neighbours hawing with laughter at their attempts to pitch up for the first time.

@@jacketrussell l can't in all honesty say l haven't looked on with amusement at similar things. Such as the couple who pitched up and then changed their mind, the woman drove the car to their preferred spot to "save" it from the queue of other caravans stuck behind her husband, who was using the motor mover to move the 'van about a hundred yards between pitches.
