oh my god we should have done it years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It was fab perfect the best whatever you want to say I loved it! Now I just cant wait to pick our real van up. The van we had on loan was very nice same layout as ours but a bit bigger so we know the layout works just how we wanted it too. We have now taken the loan van back as we didnt want to mess about with taking it to the storage booking it in then changing it all when ours is sorted.

Ok the weekend from start to end!!

we went to pick the van up took it to eden tree house site near bradwell towing was fine hubby wanted in the car park at top of the site while i booked in the very nice warden helped us by putting us on the flats pich he had had helped us move the van on! we put the legs down and rushed of to pick the kids up from school. was ten mins late for school ( big ops lol) grabbed a few more bits and went back to site. The kids loved the van and help us get it set up. I couldnt get fridge working but then we relised fuse and fliped on mains so one flick and we were off. kid fed I set up there beds in less than 5 mins. So by 9pm I was layed out with a good book and feeling very relaxed. went to go to bed and could here a hummying sound from outside looked out a relised we were out of water! we had filled the loo from water roller and hadnt relised how little was left so we unplugged it and refilled in the morning. kids were up about 8am and found the loo wouldnt flush, think it had some muck in but we couldnt get it working! the mains water on site was playing up so I used the shower in the van! I had to go to work for a few hours on satuday and had to drop oldest two kids off at thier Dads for the rest of the weekend so it was a day trip home on saturday, got back to the van early evening. had tea and put the kids down to bed.nice quite relaxing day sunday un packed the van this morning and I spent the whole time smilling to my self thinking next time we wont have to do this!

our van should be ready to pick up in a few days but we have a lot on over next few weeks so not sure when we will get to pick it up but I cant wait for our next trip. The kids cant wait too.

Sounds like you all had a fab time Katie.  It will be even better in your own van.

Really glad you had a great time, I get so excited when we are going away in our caravan.  Here's wishing you loads of brilliant holidays to come.
