Net curtains!
Why on earth would I need them, I wondered. when we first got our Hymer, several years ago.
Then we went to France and used the Aires……I found out why I needed net curtains!

All those little water adaptors that you get when you by a hosepipe in the UK. The ones you never need. Until you get to Mar Menor and they have weird tap outlets.

Thanks to Carpmart for hunting around the site and borrowing or supplying what we needed to fill the tank.

Was it an Aire or a dogging site?

a cigar Thermidor.

Is that a bit like a humidor but using lobsters to keep the cigars from drying out?



We've just come back from a couple of weeks jaunt up in the alps with a very bare bones van.

It's a great way of really pinning down what you need and what you want.

When I say bare bones I really do mean a mattress on the floor, no insulation or even panels on doors and walls.

Yes, it does have solar and a 300Ah battery and that managed to power the fridge, lights and heater perfectly well - but not much more.

You learn all sorts of things, such as your Trelino toilet will get condensation inside it at -6

It most definitely needs insulation but I was surprised at how well it coped in sub zero temps without.

I guess a dishwasher might make sense for full timers. They're supposed to be very water efficient. I haven't got round to running water yet, so I'm a little way off that for now!

You don't need curtains on a doging site as the windows are just steamy

Does that not defeat the point

Like you I thought it was a spectator sport.
