We've had a caravan for 3 years, a folding camper for 3 years before that, and a tent for a couple of years before that. We have used the caravan more than any of the others.
We were supposed to be going on a meet(rally) this weekend but my husband didn't feel like towing(I don't drive so can't help there) So I got to thinking - what if we had a tent and just loaded up the car with our kit and took off. A quick hunt around the sheds and we have everything we need for camping except the tent.
