Parents had a 1970 ish Robin 12 ft, towed initially with an Avenger GT which very quickly got swapped for a Chrysler 180, and subsequently an Austin Princess

Lots of memories brought back by talk of foot pumps, cold water, porta potti and the like.

My first caravan was a Compass Connoissuer 490/4 towed by an 850 SE estate 2.5 10v auto. Car was a 96 model, think caravan was similar. Really enjoyed it but tayout not ideal with kids so quickly got traded for a Swift Conqueror twin axle in about 2001 - bought new. Tow cars included several others - a Vauxhall Sinatra 3.0 CDX was the pick, with over 200hp and self levelling suspension, plus a great gig cavernous boot for everything you need.
