Well as you can probably tell, we bought a caravan! This is our first ever caravan and so we are newbies and in this video we give a caravan tour and show you around the gorgeous little campsite we stayed at for our first trip.
Our new caravan is a 2011 Coachman Amara 380/2, a dinky little van but just right for the two of us and our doggo, Dozer.
We hope you enjoy this video, we plan to make much more caravan content, so if that's your vibe please do stick around and subscribe. We also have tons of UK Travel vlogs which you can find here:
• UK Travel Vlogs
Thanks so much for watching, we really hope you enjoyed it an appreciate you stopping by!
All the best
Mac, Sarah & Dozer

Hi guys, New subscriber alert. Thank you for this video, and what a lovely 'van you have. I'm a sucker for a 2 berth - they are so cute. Now going through the content i've missed out on. Take care Dan

Hi Dan, thank you so much for watching and subscribing, that means a lot to us! We watched so many of your videos when we were embarking on our new caravan adventure, they helped us a lot! Thanks again, and all the best Mac & Sarah

@@MacSarah Oh thats so lovely to read, and really kind of you to say so, Thank you. Im loving your videos so far. Plough Lane in Chippenham is literally just down the road from us, and Chippenham is where I lived and met Angela 25 years ago. Keep up the great work, hopefully we can arrive at the same site sometime soon. Take care Dan

Good choice to get a caravan at your time of life ..when you're younger your in the fast lane and in a hurry to do everything.and go everywhere..RVing (it's the only description available) is about taking your time to savore the the finer things in life and enjoying the journey as you go on your adventures!!.❤️🇬🇧

We were late in life starting caravanning for the same reason as you. When all the offspring left home and we had no one to look after our dogs we bought our first van and took them with us. We love it wish we had started years ago. We like the quiet life so only use adult only dog friendly CL sites, preferably on the Norfolk Lincoln coast. The beaches are big and open with hardly anyone on them perfect for letting our dog have a good run. Good luck on your future trips.

Hello! We have the same van 🎉 just a few years older than yours. We bought it in spring 2023, but sadly, we haven’t got around to using it yet due to circumstances but lovely to see the places you’ve been and recommend staying. We’re quite near Old Oaks, Glastonbury so we plan to do a short trip up there to get used to towing, setting up and if it all goes wrong, we can get home quickly 😅 😂. We have two little dogs, so dog-friendly sites are a must for us, too. Looking forward to more videos! Take good care 😊

Great to watch and hear the story of why you started caravaning. Dogs just love caravan life, our staffy called Touka loves to sit and watch the world go by. Your Amara looks fantastic (hope you find your Sprite as nice) my wife’s Father has one that we use as a bedroom when we visit him. He is 90 now, so his Amara that he bought new no longer goes out and about.

@MacSarah 4 месяца назад

Thanks Alex, buying that as our first caravan was the best thing we'd done in years! It was the perfect intro to caravanning and did exactly what we were hoping on terms of holidays with Dozer! I think Dozer and Touka would get on well, he loves people watching too 🙂 Great to hear your dad still has his Amara, he clearly looked after it well. Thanks for delving back into our back catalogue hehe! Cheers 👍

@vince_martyn 2 года назад

Your fridge doesn't strictly run off 12v as you suggested. It would last about 6 hours on one battery charge. The 12v option works when you are attached to the car with the engine running. It's to keep the fridge sustained at the temperature it's at whilst you are towing. This feature is dependent on your towbar wiring being right and you may need to turn on the main black switch but not turn on at the panel. We have a big dog too.

@MacSarah 2 года назад

Hi Vince, this is great information for us newbies, thank you!!! We figured out it probably wouldn't work like that as we tried it out last week. We have figured out it runs really well on the gas though! Our towing electrics do keep it running while we drive, so that's good. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

You need to close off those blue? valves on the air beams. They will keep each beam seperate from the others & if a beam fails you wont lose all your air - just the affected beam will go down. It makes good sense to get into the routine of closing them.

Our hols centre around camping but now the kids have kids of their own and we are not as agile as we once were, we are considering a caravan. We want a side dinette as it allows me to make breakfast as the wife likes a lie in, and we don't have to put the bed away as soon as we're up! A double dinette would allow guests to stay for a night or two. We had a late 90's Swift Challenger 480 about six years ago but many things didn't work such as the loo, shower and the hot water; the awning got damaged in a storm one night too, so sold it after a year but it did get us into a need for a better one!

@MacSarah 11 месяцев назад

Hey!!! So we have a Mazda 6 Estate, 2.2l turbo diesel. With a caravan you're looking for a car with the right weight match. There's lots of on line resources to help with that. We find a caravan great as we can pop out anywhere with the car and not have to pack everything away. We used to have a motorhome and we found it not as convenient. However, campervans and Motorhomes do offer more flexibility in terms of just going and sleeping almost anywhere. So it just depends what kind of travel you want to do. Next time we make a video, we'll show putting the bed out 😀 thanks for watching

Get a waste master for grey water. You have more capacity and can bungee your toilet cassette on to it. Genius.

Most campsites expect dogs no matter how old to be on a lead at all times! You obv left him outside, unattended & not on a lead

@MacSarah Год назад

Actually we have him on a tie out stake which has a radius no bigger than our pitch at all times when he's outside, you can see it clearly in the shots. At the end, he was lying in the awning, again on his tie out. We're responsible dog owners and always obey the rules of each site.

Hi guys, Just wanted to say a huge thanks for your continued great content. We've (us two and our Lurcher Lab cross Tess) just embarked on a year long tour of the UK in a second-hand caravan after selling our little Alehouse in sussex. During all our deliberation, your videos really helped us with loads of questions we had, we even bought ours from Erin @sussexcaravans too as your experience sounded so positive 👍🏻 Anyways, thanks a bunch and lookig forward to seeing more! Ps; Concierge Camping was pretty darn good, great recommendation 👍🏻 Mike, Jo & Tess x
