Well it was really my first real week away and it certainly rained! We had an awning and a pop up for my two adult children. My son drove down separately so that we did not compromise the payload too greatly. The field was boggy and I did get stuck at one point on the holiday. We were in a minimal facilities site but we did have an electric hook up, but there were no loos and no showers, just the chemical dump and the tap.
What I leant was
How capacious the little R20 we were able to shelter from the storms, all three of us, and I was able to successfully produce food.
How easy it is to use the R20, how useful the ledges are that run either side of the van.
It was great to be able to drive off together and actually one of the great joys was being able to cater anywhere. So if you like a spot you can brew up and feed the troops there and then. We had a wonderful supper at Start point.
How when it is wet you really need a mat at the door.... (on the list of things to get now have been delibrately holding off)
Hook ups... cables are always in a tangle however you pack them away, and when I coil them up neatly they tangle worse then if I just bunged them in!
Electric corner steadies would be wonderful. The electric step idea, well okay but the manual step is easy enough but corner steadies require kneeling to line up the socket. This means damp muddy knees.
