Beaubell, I feel for you! I loved my Norfolk Lake, the smell of morning dew, the rain and yes, the wind, when lieing cosy in my bedroom compartment. I loved setting up and playing house. But then I had a health scare and OH and I decided that we would do more with our leisure time rather than spend all week working and all weekend doing jobs in the house. We very soon realised that we couldn't go away for a week-end in the Norfolk Lake, so we bought a Yukon River. It was much quicker to put up but we still felt restricted by the amount of stuff we took and partly the weather. We bought the caravan on a whim and have been away 5 times since we got it at Easter. I am in the van now, it's a beautiful clear evening, but chilly. There is not a soul outside their tents! I'm nice and warm, sitting with my feet up watching birds in the trees with a mug of hot chocolate.

It's different to tenting but I love it just as much, just in a different way.

My husband said he would never tow but it was actually his idea to swap to a caravan and he is like a child in a toy shop! Enjoy your tent and when the time is right you'll get your van!
