I dont recommend going on a grass s/pitch,After a few weeks it will stink like a compost heap. Plus you will get condensation,awning windows misting up,You will find that your awning will suffer from mildew stains on the inside of the roof, poles start to rust (white powder)
My awning is on gravel,I put rubber matting down on the gravel, Then i have 3 layers of visqueen,On top of that i have 3 ground sheets, Then a carpet on top.This lot certainly keeps the heat in the awning and dont suffer with rising damp.
First question I ask the site, EHU how many amps, is it shared with another van.Is the electric included in the site fee.Is storage included in the fee,How much does the site fee go up each year,Find out what is on the site and surounding area that is in interest to you both,Another factor is security barriers etc, Can you leave the awning up if you leave for afew weeks,Is there room to park your car at the side of your van, how big is the pitch,
Then theres the toilet blocks, Look and see if they up to scratch,are the showers free (hot water)
Devon is a good drive, consider ... how often will you use the van its a four hour drive from shropshire,
Hope you enjoy it if you go down this route. We love it, My van is down cornwall,You certainly dont get fed up down there, so much to see and do.We can leave our awning up all year winter included if we wanted to, but we put the awning up just before easter, comes down end of sept, We stayed in cornwall for 7 months, and loved every minute, didnt want to come home and do the five hour drive,just seams longer going home.
