All been said before I'm sure but just had to post.

Wife's sis & her hubby have been caravanners for years. When we had 'vans long ago, we used to go away with them. Initially they had a Volvo 340 and a nice little 'van (can't remember what it was) and we had a Renault 20 TS and a Sprite Musketeer. Then later we had a Cav Mk lll SRI and a (very nice)  Marden. By that time they had progressed with changes of car and unit over the years and they now have a Ford S-Max and a large 'van (again can't remember what it is) Any way, a few days ago they came for their bi-monthly visit and we finally managed to schedule 1) me off work 2) my lad at work (one less car on the drive) and 3) us opening up the Pathfinder for them to see. They were absolutely amazed at the room inside and watched with fascination as we demonstrated the ease of putting it up. Although they have seen FCs, they have never got that close to one and it was also noted the condition of it (prev owner only used it 4 times - the cooker has never been used and the seating looks brand new)

So we are well-chuffed at the kind comments and can't wait for our first adventure in it in July.

When we took the children we had plastic suitcase style storage boxes and put them in the underbed area if the awning wasn't up. I find it hard to imagine anyone can fill the awning. John made a wood top to go on the sink for the microwave and we lifted it onto the back bed when we wanted the sink.

That's a good idea Jan - hope you don't mind if we nick that...

If you mean the sink top Pete we used 4 rubber door stops which sit on the solid bit not the glass.

We think we have the clothes storage sorted now.  Tried using the under seat storeage, but it was to much hassle to lift up.  Now I use a folding shelves in the wardrobe and a larder in the awning for clothes.  I have bought (managed to get the right colour green) two shower curtains to seperate one section of the awning and made that into a changing/porto potty area.  It keeps the awning tidy and there is somewhere for us to change.

We are thinking of taking the stove out as we never use it, only cook outside.  That would give us another surface.
