Well........ That didn't last long did it how things change, we did have a couple of cracking staic caravan holidays last year and really enjoyed them, but we did miss our camping expeditions.
But now things in life have changed, our 19 year old son is working full time and no longer holidays with us, preferring music festivals etc with his mates, and our 17 year old daughter says she won't camp again, so...... I said to my wife would you fancy camping, just the two of us and the younger two? .... So that's the plan. we simply couldn't fit the gear in with the six of us since selling the vw van, but now with two less we've had a trial run packing the car and Roofbox and it all goes in.
We've decided on a static holiday and a few camping trips mixed in, so it's the best of both worlds,
Oh... I even brought a fantastic wolf lake 5 from the fee ads on here, I'd say it's the best tent we've had so far!
I think the moral of our story is once you've camped its in your blood for life.
On that note I hope you'll have me back!
Happy camping. Gaz

Variety is a good thing, we love camping but we also love cottage holidays. The good thing about camping is it's so affordable we can afford to do at least one cottage holiday a year too. The biggest problem is my DH doesn't get enough holidays, compared to me!
Keep the gear, you may be ready for another change in the future.
I agree entirely that variety is a good thing. Weve done it all- tents, trailer tent, caravans (seasonal and touring), motorhome, campervan, statics, cabins and holiday cottages, seaside holidays home and abroad, city breaks home and abroad. I have loved them all and changed unit according to circumstances/notion. Biggest mistake was selling everything each time I wanted a change. Could have saved a fortune if I had held onto to a lot of the stuff.
Nowadays we dont stick to one or the other. We have a seasonal pitch for our caravan on a site we love and have only recently decided to update all our camping gear so we can still have a change of scenery when we fancy it. I'm now considering tent camping abroad again next year after having a 10 day holiday in New York last year. Bottom line, there is nothing wrong with a change and plenty good in a bit of pick and mix.
