Just returned from 17 nights in France. New equipment tried this time was a Coleman comfort double airbed, Quechua tarp and a 3 shelf aluminium tube/fabric enclosed camp cupboard.
The tarp was the star of the show, very useful in both the very hot and in the hail and rain. Can't believe we didn't try a tarp years ago; best 20 notes spent recently.
The camp cupboard replaced one of the metal concertina types. The win for us is that, as we have a large vehicle, we could leave it up and stocked when we moved campsites - just plonked it in the back of the van. It is also lighter but does take longer to assemble/disassemble. If I was in a car I would probably stick to the old concertina model.
The airbed is not for me. I can honestly say that it is far better quality than others I have tried and stayed firmer for longer. If you are looking for a good quality airbed for sensible money then this should be on your list. However, I'll be trying a thermarest type mat on our next trip.
Just a closing stat for those interested....our 907 gaz bottle kept a portacool 35 fridge going for 12 days at full tilt and I still have gas in the bottle for at least another day or two.
Campsites visited this trip were:
1. Château des Ormes Campsite, Dol-de-Bretagne, Brittany
2. Campsite Le Rochat, Belle-Isle, Châteauroux
3. Camping Fontaine-Vielle, Bassin d'Arcachon, Andernos les Bains,
4. Ile D'Offard, Saumur
