We just have a canopy. Having had a tent and trailer tent for many years, we decided we didn’t want to build anything like a tent now we have the caravan. NO more zips!!

You should peg only the rear awning pegs before inflating, otherwise it may not be square.

Can't fault your choice guys, going to miss your caravan videos, did you let everything go with the caravan?. Get ready for the expense of Australia, my friend moved back to the uk it cost so much out there. Wish you all the best ❤ from our caravan to yours good luck 🍀

Thanks, it depends on your age and if you have a skill on the Australian shortage list, the best place to start is to speak to a registered migration agent, they will normally offer a free consultation and can advise if it’s possible.

How do the caravan electrics connect with the detachable towbar. There is no connector??
@BigWhiteBox
@BigWhiteBox Ай бұрын
The electrical connector is separate to the ball, the electrical socket is on a hinge and pushes up out of the way when not in use

In cold weather, an awning. In warm weather, an awning with the panels zipped out. Don't see the point of a separate canopy.

Grey waste pipes - I just flush them out with a hose or an external tap at the grey waster point before I leave. I wouldn't think there'd be a difference between onboard grey tank and a wastemaster. I put some stuff in the wastemaster and let it slosh on the drive to the site. I use the Fenwicks for grey pipes and aquaroll, but also for getting black bits out of the cistern. Excellent stuff.

I have had this canopy for 2 seasons and am very pleased with it. I have the 400 size with side walls. I use this for touring in Europe during the summer and in the UK if the weather forecast is ok. I always put the side walls up as I feel that the poles along each side add a little rigidity. Also, I don’t need to bring chairs, table, etc towards the centre of the caravan overnight in case of rain blowing in. When it is hot the sides unclip in seconds and are neatly rolled up and laid on the ground. In cooler weather I have a 400 porch awning. This is a pole awning as my wife and I find it lighter to handle (we are both 75). I also use a Dometic electric pump for the air canopy. The only downside of packing away the sun canopy is that the bags supplied by Dometic are very small so we have purchased larger bags to make life easier. We have caravanned for 47 years and we feel that we niw have the perfect set ups.

We have been caravanners for over 30 years and I always said "I dont need a Motor Mover as i have a reverse gear (blah blah blah)". However we have recently purchased a new van and we were offered a mover as part of the deal. My wife (god bless her) told me in no uncertain terms that the mover was a great idea as i am not getting any younger. All i can say is WHY DIDNT I DO THIS YEARS AGO?????
