The camping and caravan thread

[Warren t claim]

How serious is damp in a touring caravan?

[mercrocker]

Aye, I have awning issues too. Mrs. and I have decided our marriage is more important than having a flappy storage area adjacent to the van....

With something like the P38's ample roofage what about a car-top tent?

Sadly not canine friendly.

No I suppose not...Unless you can get Christine to build a ramp.

Ideally, I'd like to own a static on a decent dog friendly site but caravan site age limits make even my council's taxi regulations look liberal.

Nice, what are you towing with and how the hell do you reverse something like that?

I was just kidding to wind Ben up, the van is stored on a site up here and it's the first time we've used it this year so brought the trailer up with all our stuff in it we didn't want to leave over winter.

I have tried reversing a multi trailer rig and I did badly, that was a 7.5t with a trailer with a bogey at the front and a ticket booth on twin axles behind, driving it round was no problem as they would all follow, you just had to remember you were very long.

Our UK caravans aren't built don't enough to allow having anything hooked on the back.

Damn you! You just can’t believe anything you read on the interwebs any more.

Are trailer tents as shit as I imagine them to be?

Not too bad.

That's fuck off home weather, that.

Nah, you won't get wet in the clubhouse.
Not on the outside anyway.

Very serious and very expensive to get rid of. Damp meters are cheap enough now. Check it regular and fuck it off the first sign you get.

Weather is glorious in Prestatyn this morning.

We needbto find a pound shop. When we called the other day I told my wife to get a cheap umbrella for the caravan for shower and loo runs in the rain. She said no. This morning she seen the weather and said "you know what,we should buy a cheap umbrella and keep it in the van"
