The first season of caravanning can feel more intense than you expected.
Nothing is necessarily going wrong, but everything feels new, public, and oddly important all at once.
This book is for anyone who has ever arrived on a pitch wondering if they’re doing it right, listened to unfamiliar noises at night, or quietly compared themselves to everyone else on site.
The First Season Survival Guide isn’t a technical manual or a checklist of rules. It’s a calm, reassuring companion for your first year with a caravan, written for people who want perspective rather than pressure.
Inside, you’ll find thoughtful reflections on first arrivals, early trips, towing nerves, gear anxiety, site life, weather, and the emotional ups and downs no one really talks about. With gentle humour and hard-won reassurance, it reminds you that uncertainty isn’t a sign of failure — it’s part of learning something new.
This guide won’t turn you into an expert overnight. What it will do is help you feel more settled, more confident, and far less alone as the season unfolds.
If your first year of caravanning has felt exciting, awkward, joyful, tiring, and occasionally confusing — sometimes all at once — this book is for you.
This book is:
Calm, reassuring, and written from lived experience
Honest about the emotional side of caravanning
Designed to be read slowly, not skimmed
Something you’ll recognise yourself in
This book isn’t:
A technical towing manual
A list of rules or checklists
A “perfect caravanning” guide
Written to make you buy more gear
First-time caravan owners
People in their first season (not just their first trip)
Anyone who wants to feel more confident without being overwhelmed
Couples learning caravanning together
By the end of this book, you won’t know everything.
But you’ll know enough to relax.
