It looks lovely. As a very short person I wish they hadn't "improved" the design and removed the steps by the larger bed !

She's lovely - ours is a 2001 so has different soft furnishings - like the little steps I am only 5'1" so think I will have to utilise a kiddie toilet one to get into bed!!!!

She looks very nice. I've never seen the "steps" before. When I saw the pictures I thought they were little shelves.

I'm also impressed how little stuff you have around. We always have about 4 chargers on top of the cupboard next to the cooker. In fact, we've bought a collapsible shelf to put up on that cupboard so we can have the chargers out of the way.

Can I ask a question - Does anyone have trouble with the curtains on the sidewalls of the awning keep coming out of the elastic that's supposed to keep them in check? Ours are always coming out of the elastic and getting in the way.

Hi i got the lamps from matalan

I make sure the awning is pegged out fairly straight down that way the weight of the curtains dont fall out of the elastics.This used to drive me mad with the camplet i used to have as pegging straight down at the front was impossible.

 

The steps by the bed are really good the other side is a storage shelf for books etc.

My next modification is installing Dimplex plinth heating to the side which has the electrical fusebox.I also need 4 alko 20mm nuts as my steadies have cross threaded due to age and lack of oiling by previous owner.I had to borrow a trolly jack while in cornwall to hold up one corner it looked silly but but it got me out of danger for 2 weeks.

We also used a footprint under it as we did not want to get mud on it.

wow you have put that up so well for a first outing.  We still have wrinkles 5 trips in,lol.

Daft question but how do you get your awning groundsheet to fit up the sides too.  It looks a lot warmer and less drafty like that.

Your camper looks so homely
