We love our caravanning trips, but it dawns on me that there are a couple of things I don't generally like that much.  Fortunately these things are not specific to caravanning - it would be the same whatever sort of holiday we go on.

My least favourite thing is the couple of days immediately before we go.  Getting the house tidy, getting the clothes ready (any extra washing), packing the things that are not already in the caravan (especially as the caravan is in storeage) - it's the clothes and personal items (the rest is in the van anyway).  Hoovering out and packing the car.  Making sure the house is secure, emptying bins, making sure nothing is left in the fridge that might go off etc.  Against we are ready to go we are usually well and truely kna**ered.

By this time youv'e probably guessed what my other least favourite thing is.  Getting back.  Opening all the mail, emptying things out of the van that need emptying, washing, etc.  Getting back is never quite as difficult.

If we only go away for a weekend it's not too bad, but if it's for 5 weeks then the pressure becomes greater.

What are your least favourite thing?  Perhaps we migt have answers to each others problems.

Isn't it funny how we get the house really tidy then go away?

I wouldnt say it's my least favourite but I've got a dislike about winding the legs, just a job i hate for some reason. I also hate tidying all the stuff in the awning away before we dismantle it.

|My least favourite thing was the same as DSBs but now the kids stay at home its coiming back to see what mess they've left! They do tidy up but their idea of tidy certainly isn't mine!

Same as you David, the getting ready, I rush around like a blue a***d fly tiding up the house!!!! I love to walk into a tidy house.
Bit off topic but when I get home I don't know if it's the lack of space in a caravan but I walk in and flap my arms spin around and think ahhh space again lol, I love my caravan alot but it's nice to have some quiet space again lol.

 I hate that I generally leave an untidy house when I leave,  & it's still untidy when I come back.  Oh well ! 

Mainly I don't like that I'm back & the holiday is over  

I hate emptying the wee-wee tank   good job poo-ing is banned !
