Very much looking forward to our first proper trip away in the trailer tent! Who else is away this Easter? Any tips for what looks to be a cold weekend away?

Packed and ready to go to Somerset, originally tomorrow. (Wed), but decided to delay..........could even be Saturday before we move off. Too windy and heavy rain forecast.
Looks brighter Saturday.

Have just bought a convector heater from dunelm for £15, half price.

Don't mind camping in the rain, can't abide high winds, can damage the poles and be costly.

We are going Friday. This will be our first trip since last August when we had Gale force winds on the Norfolk coast. I never want to experience that again so am nervous about the wind. At the moment it looks less windy with just a bit of rain friday and the site we are on is well sheltered. Not going to be warm though!

am going on friday, going to bungay, as always like first towing trip of the year to be an easy one, just to get me into it.  practically A14 all the way,  Suppose it will be busy though, especially through roadworks at kettering.  Got new Pennine Fiesta, well new to me and 2014 model so really excited about setting it up and first use.  Bit worried about lack of storageand less kitchen worktop space in it because of space taken up with loo, but will have to adapt.  Got problems with submersible water pump, though.  Got 2 different water containers and pump wont fit in either.  First one, hole is too small and second one hole is too big for the rubber seal.  Cant get anything else locally, so going to use the bigger holed container and use cling film to cover hole.  Problems, problems, nothing runs smoothly.

Going good friday, to Yorkshire. Not in the trailer tent though - in a dinky tent with minimal equipment. Let's hope the weather forecasts are wrong as usual!!!

Glad it's not just us braving the weather! Excited whatever the weather turns out to be!

Elaine - We're looking at the Pennine Fiesta with the toilet! Saw it at the NEC show and fell in love - planning on getting one at next year's show! Hope all the problems get sorted for you!

Hope you all have a lovely (hopefully dry!) break! :)

eo0236 - will let you know how I get on.  I think the only problem will be lack of cupboard space and worktop surface.  The older ones have good under worktop cupboards that I used to leave bags in with all crockery, cutlery and items such as coffee, fairy liquid in etc and then store them there through the summer.  We will see.
