Malcolm what makes your Pizza's different? and did you enjoy Bromyard Downs site,was it good for sales?.( my neck of the woods ,we live10 miles away), 365 days a year Caravaning thats what we call using your van. Getting much colder from now,hope you are
both snug and warm.Write your comments here... Hello ADP. They're different from Domino's because of the thin crust. Yes! Bromyard Downs was great, we used it as an overnight stop on our way back to Worthing and we also visited the National Trust property opposite which was
brilliant.0 -
5 folding chairs for guests??!
Malcolm, you are very well kitted out, but personally I would rather stay home than lug all that kit around.
We do carry tables and chairs for 2 or 3, a 2 ring hob, a small electric oven, a coolbox, and even a little washing machine on longer trips, but it all fits easily in our 3.6m Fiamma Zip porch.
Car is rarely full when travelling either, even on a 4 month trip.
Recliners are used outside, then folded away. If it is chilly we recline in the van.
On our travels we have encountered several "full timers", they all seem to travel pretty light.

Write your comments here...We needed the five chairs because we had five guests to stay in June 2015 for a touring holiday around the Cotswolds, Wales, The Lake District, Scotland, The Peak District and London. There's simply not enough room in the caravan
to accommodate 7 people which is why a fully furnished awning with bedroom side annexes were necessary.0 -

As you are not far from your house, can you not use a spare room and/or space in your garage to store what you don't need with you all the time?
I presume you must have the use of some of your own property for keeping clothes for different seasons.

"The awning is very big and so needs furniture to fill it. Otherwise it would look empty and not very homely."
.....forgive me, M, but should this be the other way round.....
ie, one might have a lot of necessary stuff, so therefore one might need a bigger space to put it in.....
...but this is the first time ive seen someone specifically carrying loads of 'stuff' to fill a large space, which itself might not be needed if you didnt bring the 'stuff' in the first place?
Write your comments here...We use all of the stuff we have in the awning. The two ring electric hob and picnic table in the awning means there is more space for cooking than if it had to be done in the caravan. Having more space means a bigger vegetable
preparation area etc. The relaxers provide comfortable seating with plenty of back support and the folding coffee table is also useful for drinks etc. The other five folding chairs can seat guests. The larder in the kitchen area of the awning provides extra
storage space for tinned foods, jars, pickles etc. We can also have extra fridge space by having a cool box in the awning too. So yes the awning is full of stuff but it's all useful.Sounds like you need Pickfords to lend you a van to move that lot.

Write your comments here...Yes, we do keep some suitcases there which are full of clothes. We kept all our winter clothes there and just had our summer clothes in the caravan wardrobes during the summer.

...Thanks Husky, some of the replies are getting disruptive. Another attempt to keep this on track. I've had good responses from the CC .

I spent four weeks, 28 nights, tent camping at the Camping and Caravanning Club site in Slindon. It was in Spring 2015 and the trees were full of blossom. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and met some nice people. It was a basic facility site, no toilet
blocks so most of the others staying there were caravanners. Other tent campers would only stop for one or two nights. Unlike the Caravan Club, you could park your outfit facing whichever way you wanted. That plus the mixture of tents and caravans was what
made the difference between the two clubs. The site was surrounded by National Trust forests and so was excellent for woodland walks and trails. There were magnificent views on the walks.0 -
We didn't have any problems last year KjellNN. However with their increasing membership, it may be prudent to check the late availability hardstandings on the homepage....

It's very much like the CC KjellNN, popular sites fill up in the peak season. At least you can book a hardstanding and EHU in advance and you can look on line to see what is available.
Sorry Bt we posted with the same thoughts!
edit I presume the CC pre booking system is still being tried out?

I'm geting a lot of error/planned maintenence pages on this thread.
Anyone else had this problem......Edit... Great minds brue..
Double Edit.. not sure about CC hardstanding pre booking

Having recently joined, for insurance purposes, can I ask whether the sites are as full as the CC sites at weekends? Or is it possible to just turn up and be pretty sure there will be a pitch? HS EHU pitch that is.
Sorry just turning up on popular sites is not wise. The booking up is not as bad as the CC but still can be a problem.

Kjell, The C&CC's Keswick sites are usually busy all the year round with The Oval the hardest to get on a pitch over a weekend. Delamere is busy most weekends, as is Windermere during Half Term holidays. You should be able to get a H/Spitch at most of the
others o/s of high season. We've never had any problem getting onto any of their sites, but usually book non-H/S pitches.0 -
I have just bought a membership gift pack as a present for my Son who has just taken up Caravaning. His reaction on looking through the sites book etc. was that he didnt think he would renew next year because of the very high prices charged per night for
the sites and that private sites which oftain have many more facilities are much cheaper. I am afraid I have to agree with him and we rairly use Club sites any more.0
