Well the trip was a success, I will post pics once I get them off my phone
I kept it real simple as it was my daughter's first trip away from home camping.

Food was simple The biggest hit was the popcorn I made in the DO, I let it sit and cool down, then they took it to the playground to share with the other kids,

WOW I did not anticipate the attention I got! It seemed everyone wanted a look at my TD:
"Where do you sleep?"
"Have you seen George Clarke's amazing spaces?"
"Do you find it cramped?"

I guess you all know the drill

My best one was a 10 year old telling my "My dad said you can't make your own caravan", (Never saw his dad).

The kids want to do it again next week!

I towed it with my wee Anglia which is always satisfying

Progress is still coming along with this little girl..
I have the wooden trim around both doors and tonight I hot glued some manila rope around the corners as trim.
It was suggested by a member on here and hides my poor saw skills on the inner trim
I will do something similar in my hatch, just need to get more rope.

Next 3 weekends are bust so I will get a weekend away before xmas

Possibly to glentunnel

If the campsites are only 15 minutes or so from home, maybe the wife can come for dinner.

She is not a camper so I take the kids camping when she has work in the eveings (until approx midnight)
Then she can have a lie in in the morning.

It is win win for all of us!
