Are you messy campers? (1 Viewer)

[MikeD]

We try each time to set a new record between arriving and sitting down with a beer

so definitely a bit of a slob on site

 

[Zigisla]

Reverse onto pitch
Handbrake on
Open hab door
Let dogs out
Put chairs out
Open beer
Start "people watching"

I would like to think I can do this too soon. But then I would have to clear up

 

[scousebird]

I see others all taut and straight whilst mine looks a bit floppy.

You want to give up the fags then

Couldn't resist

Which category do you fall into?

The park up and have a G&T category. (if in the right place I may get a glass of pimms placed in hand by @DuxDeluxe before the engine is switched off!!)

 

[mitzimad]

start of with good intentions and wind up looking like a pykie site but we always clear a pitch properly when we leave no trace

 

[DavidG58]

I am guessing Chris from your description that you are like me in the garage department as well, don't dare open it in case most of the contents fall out and when on rallies or sites only open it far enough to just get out what you need so nobody can see in

Now that is where we are really messy, but thinking about it, not much better anywhere else either, always having to move something before you can put anything down

I leave nothing on my pitch but my grey waste

Ok I'll confess...I'm not a messy camper and yes my napkins do kind of match the awning and the little solar lights are a safety feature but I draw the line at statues of hedgehogs and pot plants.
Unfortunately it doesn't matter how tidy I am, cos sometimes you wake up to find a neighbour like this cluttering up the place...

Assuming we're staying for a couple of days, we park up, pour the wine/beer/g&t, open the canopy, mat down, chairs and tables out, then chill!

With the first glass drunk, Allan sets up the BBQ while I work out what we can cook on it and pour the next drink

 

[Charlie]

Tidy here. Cant stand things in a mess....

 

[Armytwowheels]

No, we are the neatest, tidiest campers of all!

Which category do you fall into?

Bare Essentials. Two camping chairs, sometimes a table, awning wound out only if we need it (and no pegs), everything packed away for the night, bikes back on rack, aire or campsite.

The serious side to it is we once saw a camper van catch fire on a crowded aire, and realised how useful a rapid exit can be in some situations.

Me too ready for anything.

 

[Wildbill]

Park diagonal (it will look straight after a few)
Open beer
Van always stays spotless

 

[gus-lopez]

No! Steph has a place for everything!
Now, where those places are is one of my life's great mysteries!!!

 

[lorger]

Bit like yourself Chris, wouldn't quite say it's messy more relaxed camping.

 

[Gromett]

I rarely have anything outside except my hookup lead. Occasionally on Rallies I will take out chair and tiny table but that's about it.

I have a big sliding door so I can open that if I want fresh air and a view. I tend to try to point that door in the right direction.

Well what OP says sounds like motorhome glamping to me. Nothing wrong with a bit of Mrs Bucket eh? Brightens the place up.

 

[Daveo2006]

To drunk to notice.

we try to keep it tidy. But some people know I keep scotch in my van. so I try to get out and see if @DuxDeluxe is around and let him give my better halve some pims and I try to pinch his scotch. But now I know @Popeye also keeps drink around I will have to go calling.

Well, before we roll on to the pitch I cut the grass to ensure it is to our high standards. I then take the cuttings to the nearest far so some animal can benefit from them.

The get out the measuring equipment and carefully measure and peg out a perfectly aligned position.

Then we can roll on to the pit, finally raking out the tyre marks.

The I do the risk analysis on the hook up cable. We want it safe yet aesthetically pleasing. A few more pegs in place then I route the cable around them. Naturally the reverse polarity test now comes out. I then go to the card index to select the appropriate card for the site breaker. i.e. The 5A states Heater and Fridge ONLY.

Electricity settle out comes the gas leak spray. I turn on the gas and spray all joints to ensure no damage has occurred on the journey. I can then hang the GAS SAFE notice on the locker.

Some of us have standards. Clearly others don't.
