Hi

looking to take our 18mth son camping around the back end of april, as we have a Sunncamp APS 3006+, it's a 2 man task to put it put and our son is now all over the place he wont sit in the car while me and the wife pitch the tent, would like to know how other people cope with this problem.

Also does anyboby know if Sunnflair have stopped making the APS range as I cant see it on there web site anymore, would be a shame as it's a cracking tent.

Strap him in his pushchair to watch.  Not as isolated then.  PamJ

Isn't that what Grand Parents are for? Leave them behind for the weekend and enjoy a peaceful night and a lie in the next day

One word of caution however is that now we have 3 kids you would find it easier to leave a deadly snake with them for the weekend.

Luckily my kids are old enough to lend a hand now so I'm afriad I have nothing sensible to contribute.

If he's anything like my Grandson at that age, he will be asleep on arrival ....... so just a case of getting things out quickly and quietly ........ so no falling out till it's all done

Admittedly our caravan was sited with the awning up ....... but we used to have time, to lay the groundsheet & carpets, get the table, chairs, microwave and bits out of the van to make the awning a home lol, sort the shopping, put clothes away, etc etc. and on a really good day, get the kettle on 

Failing that .... I'd go for the buggy, and give him the mallet, he's a boy, he'll love it    just don't get to close to him ........ and don't forget to keep telling him when he is bigger he can help you do it all, he'll sit in there forever 

{I'm sure there'll be someone like me there.  If not, just folow me around the country.......I'll watch 'em}

Lesley, I have three, various ages, Can i follow you?

Only thing i can suggest is, get a port. DVD and stick their fav. That will give you a little while and play the rest by ear, It is a lot eaiser when they are in the car leave the windows down, so you can talk. Also the DVD helps to keep them quite in the morn.

Also does anyboby know if Sunnflair have stopped making the APS range as I cant see it on there web site anymore, would be a shame as it's a cracking tent.

I agree they are great tents we have the sunncamp 3004 APS we don't use anymore since getting the confortmatic but have still hung onto it just in case; and you don't get much for second hand tents even though it only saw 1 season
