Caravaning basics? Any good forums to join/ask questions?

[RedCardigan]

We were going to buy a motorhome but priced out. Thinking we could make do with a caravan.
how long does it take to set up once you’re on site with parking/levelling/water/waste/electric etc? As the point of the motorhome was we were going to stay on sites mainly for 1 night when travelling a lot, not go to a site and park up for a week.
any caravans have a fixed bed and seating for parking on a 6m space at home? Any have drop down beds like the new motorhomes do?
any forums that are good and active for lots of questions?
Or any websites that can give me a good place to start? I can tell you all about motorhomes but not caravans!
Can you tow on any licence/big SUV or do you need a new licence? Obviously doing a course would be a good start even if not compulsory

thanks!

@BlueReindeer ours came with a motor mover fitted as we bought nearly new and I have to say it’s been great. I’ve always scoffed at them before, but it definitely takes the stress out of siting it.

The bathroom is definitely a selling point. It’s bigger (and nicer) than our en-suite at home!
