We brought a Kampa air awning aswell!! Went for the Rally air 390 pro plus with an annexe. Got lots of extras thrown in aswell. Looking forward to getting it and trying it out! The Kampa stalls were heaving - hopefully a good sign!

We bought the 300 Kampa pro air expert as we really liked "the conservatory" add on which we also bought. Oh we will be posh on site we also got a wind break thrown in. Wouldn't throw the carpets though, did try!

Yotanka62 - we didn't want the windbreak so they gave us £120 worth of extras. I liked the 'conservatory' but they only do it for your awning unfortunately, so I had to go for the "can't stand upright" annexe!!

Did you take the van down, or did you go down and back all in the same day.

Looking for pointers for next year.

We wanted a windbreak so we're quite happy. They did say if we didn't want that they would exchange for other bits like you did. We were well happy.

Cumberland and wild boar sausages! All that way to get there to look at all of the lovely goodies on show, and we end up with just sausages, typical!

I also did the towing experience which I did find useful. I'd like to think I could tow our caravan in an emergency (still not sure I could as ours is a lot bigger than the Swift Base Camp I was towing !). We also bought a Westfield Linx 200 air awning. We only wanted a small porch just for boots and wet dogs and this seems to fit the bill and not cover any windows.

Wife and I make a weekend of it , went up on Thursday night stayed at Hotel in Warwick then NEC all day Friday back to hotel for visiting Warwick Saturday. Makes a great weekend away.
At the show did more of an early research exercise as looking to possibly trade in the caravan for a Motorhome at the October show.

Not so sure now as have got used to the space in the t/a caravan versus the space in an equivalent Motorhome.
To get anywhere near means Tag axle Motorhome too big to get on most U.K and European pitches and 3to 4 times more expensive

Think I will stick with a new caravan in October!
