  • Hi everyone, been a few months since my last video but have been busy with stuff like getting married.

    Mate you've both done really well there mate. With kids the best holidays are camping holidays. Done it all my life. Good choices for a first time set up, you get stuff and leave stuff over time. I'd ditch the loo and get a two burner stove, maybe one with a toaster for family action. Get some small spuds and scrub them, bit of butter and cook cook them on the BBQ coals. If your paying for the juice consider a camp fridge that's the best use. All the best mate.

    Get a caravan! The truck is perfect for towing it.

    Not good! The camp site was too cramped! Tent was super close to each other! Tunnel mountain camp ground still the best!

    Brilliant video 👍 me my wife and little girl go tent camping in August for the first time we pick our new tent up Thursday can't wait we staying on a site in Chester.. would you recommend us putting new tent up before we go as we are new to it?

      Yes put the tent up ! if you have a inflatable tent they are very easy to put up, it's a must before you go camping.

    It’s really rude to walk across someone’s pitch like that . At the 10:41 I would have opened the window on you so you got the message ! It’s also a bit weird to film someone’s Motorhome and laugh at them when you are in a tent .
