First Trip

Posted by van on 06 April, 2009 11:02

We took our first trip in the van this weekend, camping near Scarborough, and going walking in the North Yorkshire moors.  The Van is still not finished however, but enough of it is now done that a lot of bits now work.  So how did in go I hear you all cry, well quite well.  All the systems I've fitted gas/water/electric all did what they where supposed to-do, and did it well.  There where some small inconveniences, but they where all of the category of things I did not pack, like no tea towels for dry dishes etc.  So I've got a number of small things to buy for the kitchen to keep permanently in the Van. The idea being that when we want to go some where, the only things we need to pack is some food, and clothes, not have to remember to pack things like pans, tin openers, wooden spoon etc. 

The only big problem was that the bed is just not very comfy.  The odd thing is, as seats they are very comfy, but when the form a bed they are not completely flat, all the little raised areas force you to lie in odd positions, so you don't sleep that well.  I think it can be worked round by using the odd pillow, and a mattress topper.  I guess I'll soon see as we are going to the lakes for a few days walking, so I'd best get it fixed by then, or my other half won't be pleased.
