@@blackpool123 Most of the two to three night adventures like this one I book over the weekend or shoulder the weekend so I don’t use all my holidays up in work. I tend to book them several weeks in advance and avoid school half terms. The week long trips I book months in advance. For example it’s December now and I’ve already booked Scotland and Cornwall for next summer.

Water ingress can be a problem in all leisure vehicles. The troublesome areas in a Basecamp ‘can’ be the infinity window and the back door. The latter though in earlier models. The actual joints in the construction are impervious to water ingress by the nature of the design. This is called Swift SMART construction. Our Basecamp is four years old now, used regularly and has had no issues with leaking.
