now for the tips......................

1, If you can see a wind farm quite close by.......................
There's a real good chance its going to be pretty windy.................

2, If the campsite you are staying on is called "Lakefield", and its been raining for a while...........................
Theres a good chance of flooding, or at least real boggy mud just off the track.

We only did a couple of nights on the site, and it was good fun all the same :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Probably better if you wait until after they harvest the wind.... :lol:

Tear looks good...what kind of vent is that you have on top? (speaking of "top tips")

Thanks for the comments.
The roof vent is a very common standard caravan roof vent over here. :)
They have a five way tilt, so any side can be popped up, or the hole thing can be raised. Even when it's closed you get a small amount of ventilation. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The one I used was salvaged from a donor caravan that was stripped for the teardrop. :D :D
