We have quite a big car and it's only DP, DD and I. But we still seem to have to much stuff.

Don't know about you paisleyleaf but that is my camping experience everytime

Slubber - sorry to keep going back to Outwell family but ....CARPETS?????....now you are going to tell me that you all take carpet when you go camping...

Oh yes and an articulated lorry to get you there

MollieO · 26/08/2009 10:51

Of course and an inflatable swimming pool just in case there isn't one on site .

seriously though how about a roof top box or ....a trailer.

It is nice to have the stuff you need and not leave things behind just because of space in the car.

We have an MX5 sports car so there is a lot of stuff that we leave behind. Am considering investing in a boot rack to add a bit more available space.

Oh yes Mollie, just last week in the forest with rising damp and mud creeping round the bottom of our jeans, DH said "oh, I wish I'd brought my linen suit"!

(I wonder if the advertising commitee at Outwell have ever been camping).

lol at that video. I'd like to see it in lashing rain and gales
The clothes closet had me laughing at loud!

MollieO · 26/08/2009 13:45

For me it was the thought of actually wanting to match my table linen with my tent. In fact having table linen at all .

Riven I've purchased a bell tent!!!!

TheDMshouldbeRivened · 26/08/2009 14:00

congrats Mollie. But I am now wondering where you are going to put it in that car of yor
But thy are fab. Did you get it from Obelink?

Holymoly321 · 26/08/2009 14:21

HA HA HAAAAH - that Outwell video is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time! Surely it's a pisstake?

MollieO · 26/08/2009 14:56

Hi Riven. No I got it from here.

It is smaller than yours - 3m dia and 2.5m high so will pack a bit smaller too. Big enough for the two of us though. Am looking at getting a boot rack although I reckon that it will go in the boot and I'll just have to pack around it. I like the idea of a tent that is warm in winter and cool in summer and is easy to put up.
