Great 1st 2nd and 3rd trip with camping trailer (-:
Great first trip away camping with the new trailer .
New 12v electrics fitted Thursday evening by my qualified sparky son-in-law
Fitted a charge system that lets you use your 12v and 240v system when on a hook up
All worked great over the weekend
Next job is to fit some 12v lighting in and on the trailer and a 2.5m x 2.5m awning so I don’t get a very sun burnt head again when cooking in the sun
Camp site was Tregedna farm campsite near Falmouth great site huge pitches and nice quiet location -------------------------------------------------
if you cant hold on dont let go , it ill come in handy for something even if you never use it.

Looks the business Stew!!!!
Looks like the OZ tent fits well on top, not too much of an overhang?

Fitted on top ok but looking in to getting a 8 foot long ally roof box made with a sloped front so rv is secure and safe on top -------------------------------------------------

OK SECOND TRIP
Stayed at Veryan camping and caravanning club site only about 25 miles from me , what a great site and VERY clean with good facilities we pitched in there camping field as like a bit of seclusion so was perfect
It p-sssssssssssttt down setting up but stopped just after we finished setting up so all ended good but soaked to the skin , had to lower a leg on the rv5 to shoot the rain off .
The awning works great BUT I need to get a 2.5m x 2.5m one as the howling moon one I have is only a 2.1 x 1.8m so shopping for a new bigger one this week
The bushcraft all rounder was just amazing as usual
Few more pics to follow as iPad on 1 % battery -------------------------------------------------

Just had another 3 nights away with the trailer , stayed near Salcombe, nice site but bit to busy for us but it is still the mad season
New bigger awning working great , the 2.5 x 2.5 gives us all the shelter we need when cooking etc
And the multi colour led lights worked ok
Nice day in Salcombe watching the tourists -------------------------------------------------

Nice set up Stew, thats what its all about, test it then tweak it until you get it to your liking The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

Looks good Stew Agree about the mad season glad no reason anymore to go then. Also going to a local site whilst still getting things how you like them and any potential teething problems means spend less time and money on the road & more time chilling enjoying yourself. Are you planning to bring it to Forest Of Dean? It will be good to catch up with you anyway.Welsh Collie Chauffeur Service To Barney & Rooney.
