Our first proper weekend away and I thought I might keep a record in this thread over the next few weeks about how we cope with a massive downsize from 11m to 5.98m. In no particular order this trip, we find
Packing to go, the fridge is about a third of what we are used to, 3 shelves and a freezer big enough for at least 6 fish fingers. :Sad:
Young Katy was disapointed that we were still too high to make it through the McDonalds drive thru
It was nice not having to consult our home-made map of fuel stations that we can get in and out of. Not that we needed to fill up because we did that last weekend and this trip is only a round trip of 420 miles.
Parking on my mums drive is just so handy, we've missed being able to do that.
Laugh, its late, after a few beers, came back into the van, the drop down bed is easy, (and very comfy) but we have a double duvet that needs a cover putting on it that job took up the whole van and took an hour
Bedtime stuff like getting undressed and using the bathroom had us giggling. It was like we were in a human number puzzle.
You move there, I'll go here then Katie can get to the bathroom We've been here many times before, but you get used to 12ft wide RVs where you can all pass each other in the night.
Big shock this morning The biggest problem yet. We got so used to having a walk round bed with a bedside table each, but here we were with cup of tea in bed, and nowhere to put it between sips.
That's all I have time for, more later:thumb:
