Well, I did my practice pack today and I am mightily impressed with just what you can get in these old Mondeos. I manged to get in more than I hoped. Here is a list of what was in the car.

  • 3 tents - as described above
  • Kamping khazi
  • double burner stove
  • single burner stove
  • 907 gas bottle
  • 9 chairs
  • 1 stool
  • 3 double airbeds
  • 1 single air bed
  • 5 li-lo's
  • 2 tables
  • blue cat heater
  • lantern
  • windbreak
  • plastic box containing - pans, plates, cutlery, cups, pegs, small gas cannisters, frying pan, and other bits
  • 4 sleeping bags
  • Assorted blankets
  • 12V cool box
  • BBQ

And there was still room for my 3 passengers and a couple of ruck sacks. Might even manage to sit on a couple of pillows!!

We have packed a suitcase with 6 sleeping bags to go back on the train and everyone on the train is carrying their own clothes.

I was gutted when I had to unpack!! At least I know we will be ok next week. Thanks for all your help

tol you you should be ok - your right you can get loads in the mrk 2 mondeos!  Mind you now i have zafira, roofbox and trailer looks like i need more equipment now....

i think the roofbox and the trailer will be packed, but think the car will be empty!  and if i am getting another roofbox when back then i am laughing!

I reckon if you get the train passengers to take a huge rucksack each with a sleeping bag tied to the bottom of it and the two coolboxes you can manage.


I'd make one of them carry the Khazi on the train!

I hate to mention this but have you considered the extra space needed if some of the kit is wet. This is unlikely of course as it will probably be hot and sunny but worth a thought!!
