Hi,

I bought the spray stuff for my tent for £6.00 odd, I saw some 5litre stuff in Milletts! try them

Thank you for the advice for where to look, I'll do that now.

Best place to get Fabsil from is a "proper camping shop".  I have seen it advertised on the web so you could even get it delivered to your door.  From memory 5 ltrs is just under £20-00 and 10litres was about £35-00.

Details of how to apply are on the tin. If not windy you can spray it on and then give it a wipe with a cloth.  Once done you should not have to worry about it again for years. 

Hi Andy

Just as a heads up, upper case is considered shouting in emails and forums such as this.

Thanks for the info on Fabsil - another thing to add to the long list of 'things to do' before we attempt our maiden trip.  Hoping to get away for the weekend after the bank holiday, looking at Home Far, Burnham on Sea.  This is probably a really stupid question but we are very green - what do I need to ask for when I ring the site? I assume I tell them it's a folding camper and I need a pitch with EHU.  Also, what sort of time are you expected to leave the pitch on your last day?  If it's early in the morning would I be better of booking an extra night even if we don't use it just so we get the whole day on site? (I can hear you all moaning 'how thick is this person'!!!!!!)

Cheers, Sarah.

Hi Sarah,

Give Home Farm a ring, they will tell you all you need to know.

There is no question to stupid....... just a few that are to stupid to ask.

Sarah, after many years as caravanners, we gave up our mudane local council jobs to become campsite wardens down here on the south coast.  We loved the job, it was the owners of the parks that were the drawbacks!  Anyway about leaving - most sites ask you to vacate by 10 -11 am.  This is usually enforced in the high season as the sites are pretty much full if the weather is good.  Sometimes you may be able to extend your stay for a few hours - just ask the wardens/receptions - they are the people who know what is available after all.  During the shoulder seasons its not really a hard and fast rule, just make enquiries.

Thanks to Dorset Belle and anyone else that has posted advice for me.  Thanks for the good wishes also.  Have now booked the site, just a couple of essentials left to buy like EHU, and we're off. Kids can't wait to see mum and dad wrestling with the awning! Probably a bit extreme putting it up for one night but it's a good chance to practise.  Wish us luck, we're probably gonna need it

Cheers, Sarah.
