Cheers Ange. I may consider digging a trench around the camper to keep the water out ...I'm sure the site manager won't mind

For 20 years now we have carried a folding trenching tool for exactly that purpose.

And never used it.

Right at this moment in time I am in the process of digging an 85 foot trench along the side of my workshop to install a field drain and when I have finished and can get back into the folding camper, the first thing I am gonna do is take out that dammed trench tool and throw it in the bin, 'cause I never want to see another trench as long as I live, let alone dig one!!!!!

Better still, come on a Pennine Owners Club meet and you will be inundated with volunteers to put your awning up for you

We are still trying to decide whether to take the pathfinder awning to Ireland or not.

It seems like a heck of a weight of a beast to lug about for a month when there is only two of us (adults that is, but there is two wee dugs as well), and so perhaps we will just use the main part and take the skirts for storing stuff during the day when we are away touring.

I think the weather would be a deciding factor for me.  We have used the unit on its own and there is enough room apart from daling with wet dogs, but (before we got an adapted porch awning) we would have defo taken the full awning if expecting good weather, to use as a giant sun shade.  For when we go to France I am thinking of taking the porch awning and ground sheet for that plus taking the full awning with the windows zipped out.  That way use the porch for rain and the main awning for sun. 

We will not be taking the dogs abroad this year as not yet had them vaccinated plus think it will only be one of them when we do get round to it as the other is a bad traveller.
