We are returning to camping too and are busy replacing all our gear. We used to have a fiat punto and a roofbox and managed to get everything (including our son) in . We had a De Waard albatros so the tent took up quite some space but with a planning it's surprising how much gear you can get in a small car! We now have a car that's a little larger and a smaller De waard and our son is all grown up and isn't coming so loading the car should be easier right? So John, get a roofbox, make a list and stick to it or you may have to leave the kids at home 😁

We just returned to camping the weekend just gone after a 4 year break due to the kids (18 & 9) not liking it.
Well they both (22 & 13) loved it so we are now well and truly back into the spirit of camping :)
Oh the outdoor life, the fried breakfasts, the barbecues, the sunny days.....
And the rain, muddy pitches, soggy canvas, wind, thunderstorms and mud? Ohhh thunderstorms under canvas, now that's special.
