The awning has storm straps and additional guys.
We use clothes pegs to keep the curtains fully closed when we leave
it.
Additional guying using elasticated loops to provide some give.
We can use my wife's car on visits which
saves on petrol.
Set up in the awning includes a 'cooking area'
with electric hotplate,
electric steamer, George Forman grill and toaster. We have 16A
supply available.
We also use a fan heater in the evenings if required.
Cool box (for the wine and beer) and
Cadac Carri Chef,
with separate gas bottle to enable us to use it where we wish
(outside the awning of course)
Under the 'breathable' groundsheet we have
tarpaulins placed on the gravel to keep it dry underfoot. The
tarpaulins overlap the awning mudflaps and the caravan skirt
and with the groundsheet over it, it is strategically weighed down
to stop the wind getting underneath it . This makes the awning draft
proof. We have placed a square of foam tiles around the step
to change shoes etc. We cut a spare tile to shape and placed it in
the wheel arch as a cover. We store everything in plastic boxes with
lids to keep any water out (not that we have had any) and discourage
'wild life'
Mains lighting is provided by an Aldi under
kitchen cupboard 3 spot halogen unit.
We are on a serviced pitch and have rigged up
mains water input and mains drainage.
The use of this two way adaptor enables water to
be taken from the tap without disrupting the normal supply to the
Aquaroll.
