    We have a 304 too and new to caravanning. So far we are loving it. Towing was scary at first and so much to remember to do but we are learning. I’m a member of the Facebook 304 group which is so helpful. Looking forward to watching your adventures in Van essa.

    I think you made the correct choice by choosing a caravan over Motorhome. I home you love it and let’s hope for better weather too I hope you many great holidays in it.

    Just found your channel, congratulations on your new van. I look forward to watching your new adventures. We spent the weekend looking at caravans, so much choice 😬.
    Had to laugh at your little girl when she rolled her eyes 👀 all ready for another dip 🤣👍🏻 just brilliant.
    Safe travels and happy caravaning, oh and cute doggo’s too.

    Congrats! I bought an Elddis Vogue SE 1997, 2 weeks ago for under £1400 on Ebay. I was also contemplating a campervan, but I am glad I went for the caravan. I have given it a deep clean and already made the cushion and seat coverings and curtains. Also did a towing course and registered it. I'm looking forward to many adventures with my 7 yo son. I am sooooo excited 😊. Good luck 👍

    Excellent video…I have had both campervans and a caravan and for me it has to be the caravan..purely for space and comfort…the price for storage is excellent…

      Thank you for leaving a comment, we are so pleased you enjoyed the video. So far so good, definitely feel that we have made the right decision and can't believe our luck with the storage!

    oh the memories you are going to make. I have really fond memories of my childhood caravanning - dad preferred it to anything. Subbed. We daily vlog too, and having all these memories to look back on is priceless.

      So lovely of you to leave a comment, we hope to give Sophie lots of memories to look back on too. We have just subscribed to your channel and will be sure to check it out!

    That storage yard is cheap! £6 a week, wow. Down south ours was around £600 pa.
    One downside to storage yards as opposed to having caravan on your drive it's more of a faff going away, having to pack at home then repack caravan at storage yard. In the end we gave up caravaning, too much faff going away etc, but kids loved it when younger.
    Bit out of the loop now, but if you join one of the main clubs they have access to hundreds of Cs and Cl's, basically people who have room for 5 vans on their fields at cheap prices. Good luck, subscribed 👍

      Thank you so much for subscribing and leaving a comment! Wow, £600 pa 😮
      Such a shame but understandable, luckily our storage yard is just down the road so we are able to bring it home the night before and pack. Thank you, that sounds great, we will definitely have a look at that 👍

    Do you think a Dacia duster would be able to tow one of these??? Couldn't quite make out the car you were using!!! I too are like you toying with the same idea but a caravan is so much cheaper 👍

    • @WhitfieldLife

      Hello, thank you for watching our video and leaving a comment! It would depend on the towing capacity of the Dacia Duster. We have a 2016 1.6 diesel Vauxhall Astra and it towes it with ease. If you look up your car model towing capacity on Google, it should tell you the max weight you can tow. Our Elddis Xplore 304 is 1050kg fully laden (with everything in). Hope that helps!

      You might regret not having a motor mover ? Make sure if not using the van for a few weeks remove the battery and take home to charge properly ..

  • @davidgilmour5555

    Does it have a motor mover fitted?

    • @WhitfieldLife
      @WhitfieldLife  2 місяці тому

      No it doesn't unfortunately, but it is very light so not had any issues manoeuvring. The motor movers do look fantastic though, may have to look into it at some point.
