Family-Camping-Checklist-Featured

Packing up for a camping trip can be stressful. Often times my family will have the goal of leaving our house by 8 am only to find ourselves pulling out of the driveway around lunch time. And even then, the kids are half dressed and the dog is sprawled across the back seat. Have you ever tried camping with dogs? It’s an experience. By the time we were actually on the road, our dog had eaten everything we had packed for him, so we ended up on the hunt for cheap gifts for dogs (because clearly he was in need of one) and chose the biggest bone we could find – that seemed to keep him entertained.

Cornwall 2013 (Part 4)

Sunday 18 August

Our first full day with our Ronnie, Roids, DD & TF.  I wake at around 8am with a screaming bladder and a peak out of the bog window tells me it’s dry and sunny.  I get dressed and take the dogs out.  Not to the site dog walk this morning but to the fields that sit high above Whitesands Beach near Sennen,just half a mile from our site.

Preserve your 12v battery life

Preserver your 12v battery life with these led bulbs for your caravan

G4 surface mounted diodes.

If you go on caravan rallies and use your battery all the time instead of using an electric hook up then your biggest drain on your battery is your lighting.
Fit these new led bulbs into the same sockets as your exisiting halogens and you increase your battery life, immensely.
Let me know how you get on if you buy some of these.
