  Before leaving for hols make a list of what you need, e.g. for sleeping pillows, night lights, etc, for dining chairs plates cups, for leisure footballs, bikes, pumps, etc and for the tent, pegs, guylines, toilet and fluids, and possibly wife and kids who may help put it up (do a dry run putting it up before you go 1st time).

   Don't be too shocked at size of list. Next tick the box beside each listed item on your list as you pack it for trip, then go enjoy your holiday probably without something that should have been on the list.

  Make list bigger for next outing, enjoy,   Keith.

Hi and welcome to UKCS, my advise is to enjoy yourselves the kids will love it!  Maybe try to have a practice run at a site nearer to home for your first trip, so that you can iron out any problems before you go away for a longer time.

We had our first outing a couple of weeks ago and this site was our saviour.  You will soon become addicted, reading various threads on equipment (see separate forum!) and how everyone does what, when and where.  I have to say the best peice of advice we got was to practice putting the TT up a couple of times before doing it for real - we did, in our back garden!  When we got to the campsite we ALMOST looked like we knew what we were doing.  With three little ones running around it would have been a very stressful nightmare trying to figure everything out.  Also you will read several long time TT campers saying that getting the unit level is key to a successful pitch so get your little spirit level and practice, practice, practice!  Above all, relax and enjoy (that's where the corkscrew comes in handy....)
