like Father, like Son- Bringing a dream to life
In the 70's, as a family of six we spent our summer holidays camping in a large frame tent all over the UK. With 4 children and two adults it was always a challenge getting all the kit into our family car- a two tone, black and tan, Austin maxi. My father, who was a small business entrepreneur, came up with the idea of…

New Van since August 2025
Hello friends, After not being heard from for a while, I'm back with a new campervan. After a wonderful tour, first via Rushden and then further southwest in the UK, and trying out van life with our son's campervan, we bought our own new campervan in August. Of course, we've already been on the road with our new van here…

Very crowded stand, very expensive I thought but very nice and good selection of designs. We like many have had a Melamine set in the van which has done us well, but with a new van my OH fancied new…

France and Spain 2025
For the last two years we have holidayed at Guyonnaire in the Vendee region of France (kind of near-ish LaRochelle, but not!). This year we did the same, but expanded upon it by taking in Toulouse, Barcelona, and finally Paris on the way back. 20 days and we kicked off in London for two nights staying at Abbey Wood (a…

Protec covers - our recent experience.
In 40 years of caravanning, we have always used Protec covers and having always had first class service, we decided to use them again to replace our existing five year old cover. In the past, we have just given Protec the year, make and model of our caravan, paid the fee and then waited for delivery. Following our history…
