ok so were going away in october for a weekend with the children as we want to get one more trip away in before the dredded winter when is a good time to pack up all the equipment for the winter?

i dont want to take the family away and frezze or they wont ever want to go again and this is the first year i have actually got them into camping big style

i hate to admit it but i go to bed at night thinking of setting up my trailer tent! going through the procces in my head thinking of ways to make it easyer i think i need professional help

When in October are you thinking of going?  At the beginning of October the weather can be very good, with fine clear days, but a bit chilly over night so as long as you take the heater it'll be fine.  

We are off next Monday for a week, on our first outing in the Sovereign and we too also hope to get away for a weekend in October before winter sets in.

i intend to use mine all year round,winters are mild now

i just cant imadgine getting my family out camping when theres frost on the ground i think they would leave me.  mind you i have noticed most campsites down here (hampshire) close in october so i dont know where we could go after that

dose anyone know of any other nice sites in hampshire especially the new forest? we keep going to the forest hoilday sites but to be honist its quiet pricey!

it cost us £127 for 4 nights last time and £48 pound for two night this time and its going to be low season

Don't go away as much in the winter months - only once a month usually over Dec Jan & Feb. Will be winding down to twice a month for Oct & Nov after being away every weekend for 3 months.

The advantage of a trailer tent is that you sleep off the ground so it is much warmer than a tent, and with so many sites having EHU pitches available all year round I don't find it any colder in my Combi-camp than in the caravan.

Have had a 1991 Pennine Pullman for six weeks and love it.  Have survived monsoon weather in Edinburgh (18 August) and tropical sunshine in the South East, so far.

Now thinking of taking her up to Scotland, Fort William, for the October week;s holiday.  Am I mad?

Which is the best site Ben Nevis C&CC or the CC site? There will be myself, 13 yold son and dog.  Biking, walking etc

Taking a heater and maybe electric blankets, porta loo in awning and kettle for hot water, thats if I have the water fixed by then!
