Who is camping soonest then?

I take it you normally have a field all to yourself then? with a drive in movie maybe? lol

 

This sounds about average for us however I'm determined next year will see us with a slicker set-up for the 1 or 2 night stays & save the mahoosive awning and all the above listed items for longer stays

 

If we go anywhere for less than 2 nights, then the awning stays at home. We used to have all sorts of crap, a camping cupboard, electric oven, pop-up laundry basket, washing up stand, multiple coolboxes with enough food for an army, etc etc etc. These days its park, canopy on the side, roof up, chairs out, beer open. (or cuppa tea)

When we fit the 3 way fridge I'm hoping it will be even more streamlined.

 

That's me off to buy a pop up laundry basket and a washing up stand. I KNEW there was something missing when we were camping.

 

You also need a bin liner stand with a lid on. We used to have one of those, and a wire veg rack.

What about setting off then? This year I'm sorted, cold packs from freezer, stop at supermarket on the way and I'm go to go. Even clothes are packed because I never change them when I'm camping unless I get wet.

Malcs right, my sun thing takes 5 minutes to set up if I set it up.

 

We can do complete set up in 30 minutes - awning, hookup, roof up, table and chairs unfolded. Takes about the same time to get down and away.

I need a beer when it's done though....

 

Weekend awning, set up and drinking in about 35 minutes. Big awning for weeks camping, at least an hour.

Best time ever was when on my own, stopped, pulled out bed, grabbed a cider and chair. Drinking in about 2 minutes! All I took was a crate of cider, 2 eggs and 2 slices of bread

 

Yep roof up and kettle on or beer opened.

 

park up t4, open boot and make sure bed is still made, borrow a chair off someone cos i've forgotten mine, open side door and consume large amounts of lager while dreaming of maybe one day doind this in my bay

 

sorry i dont believe you could survive on that , but then again i suppose your cooking skills do restrict you

 

Now I'm on my own, I just park, pop the roof, pull the bed and extract copious amounts of lager out of the fridge, sit on a chair and do some people watching.

 

As soon as I stop and pull on the handbrake I am camping but the wife has other ideas,
Steve,

 

If I'm on my own then roof up...

With the wife and kids then awning, et al goes up

 

Well there is more than one school of thought on the subject. On the one hand there is the school that I subscribe to which is once the handbrakes on you're set; my better half however belongs to the group that is happy to invest a good hour in getting the awning up, hoisting up the Worcestershire flag, putting up fairy lights, getting the tea on etc. I prefer to watch...
