I know, I know, but there is no way DH is going to take me to Holland to buy one, so I will have to make do with what I can get from Camperlands!

Alison, it depends how old the children are. I don't think it's something one person can do. I wonder if you could just lower the legs onto a small trolly type carrier.My eight year old was strong enough to help me get it off but he may not have been able to get it back on.

That surely is grounds for divorce

I think he's marginally preferable to a Holtkamper, unless his snoring gets any worse of course!!

Thanks Stephen, to be fair DS is almost as tall as me now, I'll just have to get him down the gym!

What I need to do is work out what the least possible distance it needs to be carried is. I'm thinking that on putting it down we should be able to unzip the groundsheet around it, so it only has to be carried a short way. Pitching is another matter..

Alison,

Two things to watch out for, when you put the kitchen back on make sure the gas pipe is not trapped, rest it on the floor. Also make sure the bedroom matress is square, i just notice we have folded ours with it trapped in the folding part. We have just been drying ours out at home and unpacking, rather than having to peg out just get a couple of small ropes and tie the front to a fence or something to avoid the wind trying to shut it causing damage.

Thanks for the kitchen tips. Our gas pipe will be inside, but I'll have to remember the water and waste water pipes; that will be new.

On ours there are two straps on the right hand mattress to secure it when you fold it over. It took me a while to figure out what they are!

All the best,
