we used vacumn bags last year .worked well ,we used our air bed electric pump on "suck". it did not get the package as smallas when we used our home hoover.but we managed.

We asked to borrow the campsite vacumn ,but they did not have  one,?maybe able to use ones at the petrol station/garage valet bit.we never have as always clean car ourselves.I was shocked at just how many towel we took.hand ,beach shower and for hair, tea towels.used micro towels before and didnot like the texture,shall try again.the other option we used was just to wash them half way through the hoilday

I bought inflatable pillows and spend half the night deflating to a comfortable softness, only to have one of the kids "be helpful" the next day and blow it up firm.
I now just take ordinary pillows.    Just squash them in the car in a bin bag.
We did have microfibre towels but now just use ordinary ones.    I found that the microfibre varied from brand to brand as to how effective they were.

Yep another one for microfibre towels. I brought one from Go Outdoors last year (their own brand) and was amazed at how good it was. I am getting some for the rest of the family this year.

You can get roll up 'vac pack' bags, the large size ones in the packs from JML are just perfect for 1 pillow. No need to worry about vacums then

I have a LifEventure microfibre towel (pink so no-one else uses it!) and love it. Its personal preference though, they are not the same as regular towels.

Pillows have got to be mine from home. Bought some camping pillows and sold them on ebay, small lumpy and useless!

I think they had some vacuum bags on offer in Argos recently. Oh and Fairywings - thats what this site does to you - you start to find all sorts of essential things you didnt know you needed!!!
