We have just returned home from our first weekend away in our van at Lower Clough Foot CC site and had a fab time! Dad in law came to help us set everything up and took us a while i have to say but once everything was set up we were fine and it was a glorious weekend (made even better with the stunning sunshine weve had here!). Not to self next time must take: milk, tupperware, foil and cling film. cant think of anything else i forgot. no doubt next time i go i will find more stuff i need!

Next job......finding a nice 820cm awning at an affordable price....any ideas?

Pleased to hear that you had a great 1st weekend away in your new 'van.  Agree with getting that stuff as you do need it when you are away.  Have you thought about using ice-cream tubs or margarine tubs instead of buying them?

Please can you tell me when you are away again as i will book up for that weekend cos the good weather obviously follows you lol

thank you all! I found a lovely awning and bought it but seems it may be too small (see other thread!) why are these things so complicated?!
