Just got back from our first break in our caravan.After being converted to a Tin Top as some of you call them from a folding camper,why didn't i do it sooner.So much easier in every way, i've actually felt i've had a holiday,no struggling with canvas or worrying about packing away wet.
We did fail on the porch awning though,we tried putting it up but it was abit windy and nothing seemed to be going right.As there was only the two of us,we managed without it easily so we're going to have another go at home on a nice day.Hope we can master it because it's a good quality awning,Dorema with lightweight poles,
Anyway,planning our next trip away now.We're like kids with a new toy.

We have also just been on our first caravan trip after many years with folding camper. It was SO much easier. Can't wait for next trip.
