We got into caravanning about 18 months ago having previously been campers. We still have all our old kit and I have promised my hubby that we will have at least one trip away in the tent this year, as he really likes camping under canvas. I myself would probably not bother as I like all having my own facilities.

Does anyones else still go away in their tents?

Hello Helen. We haven't for about 18 months but we would have done if a few things had been different. Both of us love the tent but we do really love our caravan too. 

We don't actually have a shower in the 'van and often use the site loos as well but generally find it's quicker & easier & quicker to `camp' with the 'van, but we miss using the tent & fully intend to do it again. If we had a dryer less unpredictable climate here in Scotland we'd probably use the tent far more than the caravan.

I wouldn't feel right without a tent!

I know exactly what you mean, think I'll probably never be ready to be `tentless'. I'd feel I was giving up the last vestige of youth . Oh god I feel depressed just thinking of being a tentless old lady waaah  ! No no never....

Don't use tents anymore, but still have a couple of small tents somewhere, in case any of the kids ask.  I'm afraid we are now 'hardened' caravanners!!
