well for us it feels weird at the moment as i said we are lacking the 30kgs or so, its a bit rock and roll, however we do have a job to get done and that is to get "he who must/will not listen" to get a drop plate on the tow bar done and get the nose lower!!! at the moment its pointing up!!!  not good when the disco already is higher than most cars.  but i cant see that making a huge difference so i think i will secretly have to load the caravan in lockers that he wont go into with tinnies, of the baked bean kind!!!!

I always pack several tins of "emergency rations" under one of the seats.  We don't always use them though, I think we have a tin of sweetcorn that has done over 1000 miles!
