Well looks like the weather is going to be good on Saturday (well in the South East).

Planning on unwrapping the TT and putting it up for an airing before we go away at Easter.

Fingers crossed all is well, it has been well wrapped; transit cover, bubble wrap, thick tarp and finally a winter cover!

Anyone else plan on doing something similar this weekend??

We'll have ours out tomorrow as she's getting serviced in the morning. We have opened her up a couple of times as we seem to have a condensation issue, but thankfully the canvas and everything else has been stored indoors, so no damage done.

Can't wait for Easter, first trip out having moved on from trailer tents.

We are itching to get our trailer tent out as well. We haven't used it yet since buying it last August. Only set it up once.
My hubby is doing overtime all march so we need to find a day to set it up before the end of April. So excited.

We did exactly the same today.... A good airing in the sunshine before our first outing to Blue Anchor at Easter. Thank goodness all seems well so no major maintenance to do just yet.

Am getting a bit giddy about it already!

We got our Conway Cruiser out today after being a bit worried about it all winter. We only bought it last years, so our 1st winter for it.

It was so much better than I thought. We did have a little bit of mold on the one corner due to some water or condensation in it. I need to check it out so it does not happen again.

We have cleaned all canvas and also gotten most of it sealed. Great to be able to leave it up to dry out & air, then get the roof sealed in the morning. Plus had steamer out on the carpet & upholstery.

Just getting my shopping list of bits & pieces we need, ie new tyres (last owner lied saying they were new, both did not survive the winter) & also some other things we did not get around to last year.

Hoping weather will be ok for Easter as raring to get camping.

Another relieved camper owner here. Put ours up this morning and everything is bone dry. Some mould on one of the bed boards but thats not a huge issue - its odd though because the other bed board is completely mould free. Will give it a scrub with some Milton I think.

One bedroom pod is in the washer and I will do the other and get them both on the line.

Some of the velcro is coming off the camper body, we noticed this last year but hadnt got around to doing anything about it. Hubby will get this fixed before our first outing at Easter.

I am a little bit giddy now - 4 weeks to go!

Unwrapped the pathfinder on Friday, All good, No leaks or damage, I was a bit worried with all the cat claw marks on the Kampa winter cover but no damage on the transit cover :). Packed it all back up as we cant use it until first weekend in May!!!.

I hope you all have great camping trips over Easter.

I did ours last decent day, bit of water inside but I've got 2 covers on, it looks like its seaped through from standing on the surface for so long. Again bit of mould, nothing a scrub didn't remove.

Canvas was dry when put away. Have a list ive been working on with 12v system refresh, fitting a hookup. Sorting gas system (left that to the pros)

Bearings, brakes, lights all sorted looking forward to our first use
