I can only really offer my experience for questions 2 and 6.

I have two greyhounds with considerable 'prey drive'. I have them on long leads with spikes in the past, now i have two of the delta things but not tried them yet. I got the long leads as 'lunging reins' off ebay. Sadly Lance chewed through those, so now they have chains, again purchased off ebay. These are about 15 foot long, so the dogs can walk about, but always stay within the confines of the pitch. they have never managed to pull the spikes out of the ground. They stay on them at night and don't seem to notice really, I make sure the 'spike' is near to where they mainly are so the chain is lose and you do have to jump up fairly regularly to untangle them, but with brighter dogs than greyhounds this could be less of a problem!

From the question about the clothes, I assume your TT has no 'wardrobe' section in the awning. Camp wardrobes tend to be (to me - it's all relative!) very expensive. Royal do a few, but i think they are in the £40 - £75 price bracket mainly. In my TT dd and i had a large, waterproof bag each and we kept these in the underbed space whilst away. We never managed to leave enough room in the TT to transport clothes on the trailer, they were always in the boot or roof box. You could use plastic boxes or one of those plastic drawer sets, too.

I bought a 3" memory foam topper for our Combi Camp, and it's lovely  really comfortable. We use it on top of the original matresses which are only about 3" thick.

When you say wardrobe, do you mean hanging space, or just clothes storage? We used to use a clothes rail from Argos in our tents, with one of those canvas shelf units hanging from it. However, with the Combi Camp I found a better solution - we take two 3-drawer plastic drawer units. I pack the clothes, toiletries, towels & other bits'n'bobs in them at home, stack them in the car, then just lift them out & place them in the Combi Camp on site - no hassle.

with the beds we found that the memory foam was to thick with our fold over beds,so used a sim under the mattress,and this helped alot aswell as stayed on the bed.

the easy way to get the sink to work is with one of these

you can cut of the shower head and connect it to the tap.

you can strap the bikes to top of trailer just use somethig like some old carpet to protect the trailer cover.

as to clothes we tend to have one of those beach type bags each and they stay in there.

if the hitch lock is for home use you may be better with a wheel clamp,as with hitch lock they could just roll the trailer away and then cut the lock off somewhere else.

We just spent over 9 weeks away in our pennine and we put our clothes folded in the storage boxes with lids and put them under the bed space under the skirts. As we did not use the awning only the unit we made sure they were away from the front opening as the rian gets through the small space between zip and body. Just moved them over to the outside...perfect.

One His

One hers

One household

one extra food ++++whatever. I like the idea of the stacker type said earlier but then without using the awning they would be no good for us. Good idea though like a chest of drawers so to speak.

Enjoy yourselves, you will with the frame of mind" I'm Going to"

hi

no reason that it won't work apart from finding a bottle/container with the right thread for the top.

Hi Zantos, sorry about the late reply, came back from camping trip on Sunday & I'm just catching up on forum threads.

I bought ours from "Onlinebedding4u", an ebay seller. It's a really good quality one which came with a zip-off cover, but it cost £55.19 for a double size. It's really snug & comfy :-)
