Shaun, have you ever considered getting some Outwell gear to add to your setup? They do some good bits...

   Shaun all your new stuff look's the bee's knee's, your set up is the brilliant and look's so posh (put's mine to shame). How long does it take you to pitch and put furniture in from start to finish, even if it took hour's it is well worth the time for a beautiful set up like your's and would be a pleasure setting up for that finished look. Yours one jealous person

Well that is one hell of a brill set up, are you that tidy at home as well?

We had a valance round our camp bed and got the mickey taken out of us, but a table runner very suave.

No wonder you are pleased, it is fab and so glad it all worked out for you, how many people stopped to admire your new baby then?

mucker you don't have a lot to say has your keyboard broke , I thought you would have put me right on the tarp lol.
to be serious mate the tarp was brilliant no water in the front room at all so it kept the carpet clean and you could take your shoes off . I was altering it everyday you can have it positioned in 1000 different ways well worth it mate



Well, I noticed the tarp was a bit flat (easy to catch and hold water), but also:
1) The front pole is adjustable,
2) The guys are plenty long enough (to adjust)
and 3) you are not stupid!

So, I gathered you had it all under control, and if I mentioned the flat tarp, you would have screamed "Sunny day", "No rain" and "I'm on it..... can you not see the adjustable pole and guys that are long enough?"!!


Chuffed it worked out so well, mate! :-)

As for the rest, I thought my smilies were more appropriate than repeating the word "WOW!!!" until I made myself sick!

I'm not a tv kinda guy, not even at home, but then we don't have kids to entertain, and that amount of gear, I'm sure, would put me off camping for life..... although I appreciate it's your main holiday (whereas we just go for weekends, mainly).
How the bloody hell you get that lot set up and done in just 3 hours, I don't know! Takes us over two hours for a smaller tent and one cupboard!!
My hat is well and truly taken off to the pair of you!

Do you actually know how many cupboards you have?

Superb set up mate, and a massive thanks for the pics....
Oh, lovin' the monogrammed T shirt too..... very world champ boxer!!

Ah bigger than our 5x3 brenderup then, which probably explains why the Yellowstone ends up in the boot!

Taking our smaller Yukon 4 for 3 nights Thursday, there's hope yet!

Everyone told me to get a bigger trailer, but thought with the extension sides and abs lid we'd have loads of room.

yes I know what you mean , I went straight for the big one having read loads of reviews on this forum, and got the extension sides at a later date well worth it. it stands me at just over £1000   not bad for the size
you have a top trailer there so you could sell it and get a good price for it and get a 6 x 4 with extension sides   if needs must good luck and have a nice trip - shaun

Hi Shaun,

Great pictures & a great set-up. Just invested in the Yosemite Falls & pitched up today for the first time in our garden. Just seen your pole insertion tip on another feed, took the wife & I 45 mins to get the poles in, wish I had checked the forums first! Hopefully give the tent a proper outing in a couple of weeks, weather permitting. I assume your electric comes in through the groundsheet in the living area?
Cheers.
Steve
