Love the happy camping doggies, Floggitt!

FoO

Looks like a trailer is the only way to go then!  Think I will need to get working on Dh first though.  When I mentioned the idea his response was a very firm "NO WAY".  Apprently you can't go in the fast lane on the motorway with one and this to Dh is very important lol!!!!!

.  We just came back from a 2 day camp, got the car better packed coming home by putting the duvet and pillows under all the other gear instead of on top - I couldn't see out the back (Mondeo Estate) on the way there but had full vision on the way home x

I shall try this out for myself. We are going camping to seaside, and want to take our duvets, rather than sleeping bags, but were worried about fitting it all in. We have just aquired a rather nice Alfa Romeo 156, which we love, but this will be first time camping in it, and rather worried about getting it all in the boot.

Ah, we'll see.

On our 1st camping trip last year we had a picasso,did 2 adults + 5 yr and 13yrs, took 1 seat out for large coolbox  vango vista tent 2 x lafuma copies + camp kitchen,2x larder units ,table , clothes,quilts aerobeds etc etc + my mobility scooter no roofbox or trailer and somehow managed  .   

As we going seaside, I want to fit in a couple of extras, like Boogie Board, Bucket and Spade, Shrimping Nets, extra Beach Towels/mats.

I always think that you need to take the same kit for 2 nights as you do for 7 nights, just need more clothes on a longer stay.

We're about to change the car and are looking around at various options..The Renault Kangoo looks ideal in the fact it has an enormous carrying capacity. There's only the two of us so obviously don't need the space a family of four would take up. At the moment we have a tiny car(Perodua Kenari)plus trailer so will be putting the trailer on the well known internet auction site shortly.

We drive those at work, brand-new 10-reg ones. Loads of space, they go really well and the interior is nice as well.
