Bailey unicorn Sevil
Hello - we are Amanda and Gavin, and I are new to caravanning and touring.

We recently purchased a 2011 Bailey unicorn Seville, two berth, and love it a lot.

We are due to go out on our first little tour at the weekend; not far from our storage, as we are new to towing, and so being sensible, we will do short journeys until we are both confident - super excited!
Happy Tuesday everyone 😊😊😊

Ahhhh, well I am clearly not a sensible type as I just jumped in at the deep end -
Years ago I bought myself a caravan. I had it delivered to a storage facility which had it’s own adjacent campsite and they were happy to put it on pitch for me each time I wanted to use it. I had never towed anything before but when it came to the end of the season I decided it was time to bite the bullet and the site/storage owners let me drive around the almost empty campsite moving my caravan from pitch to pitch learning to manoeuvre backwards and align with the caravan to hitch up alone. Then, as everyone else was putting their caravans to bed for the winter, I hitched up and drove from Devon to Dover. I got straight on a ferry and drove all the way to Bavaria on the German/Austrian border arriving a day earlier than anticipated. The campsite were good though, they just had me wait half an hour whilst they got somebody to clear a foot of snow off a pitch for me !
