Am having a blonde moment - well I am blonde!!! But I can't see how clingons can keep the windows open?

Attach the clingons to the bottoms of the window covers (unzipped!) and guy lines to the clingons and guy out!  We did this with our Sunncamp Vario last time as it lets some air in but still provides some rain protection.  I would only do it at night if I was confident of reasonable weather.

Aaaaah - the fog lifts! That's an excellent idea, but as you say, only if decent weather forecast!!! We're off a week tomorrow, and atm we have everything crossed for good weather.

Found this link Lisa - http://www.clingon.co.uk/

thanks Angela

can I just say this..... "there's clingons on the starboard bow.... "  sorry I had to get it out of my system! LOL

anyway..... those little gizmos look great! although you're about £15 down to have enough for the LV6 - unless only leaving 1 window slightly open would be enough??

we've only used our LV6 once but the weather varied between baking hot and torrential rain and wind in one week, yet we never had any condensation in the tent...

'That's life Jim, but not as we know it.......'  Thanks, I'll be singing that all night now!!

Am getting soooo excited about going camping, but am really not liking the weather forecasts atm - good to know that the LV6 stands up to bad weather well though!

Being a typical blonde I burn so easily, I'll settle for dry weather, even if cold!

Have a plan - am going all togged up for cold, wet weather, then hopefully it'll be a scorcher!!! This happened one year when I was about 5 - with parents on Norfolk Broads - we all got new wardrobes out of it as we hadn't got any summer clothes and were boiling!

Hubby is now taking a fair few long weekends - hasn't had any holiday until now this year, and apparently needs to now book it - to fit in with work commitments. Number one son starts school in September, so even if our main week is a washout we'll have other shorter ones. Problem is, we're going with a friend and it's his main holiday wuth his little boy, so I hope it'll be ok.

even if it's forecast for nice weather we always take our fleeces and our thermal socks! (not to mention the electric fan heater) you can always layer up if it's cold and peel off if it's hot!
