First Trip Nearly Here!!

We are all set to take Baby on her first trip on the 17th Feb to Tredegar Park in Newport.

It's seems so long since we have been out on a caravan trip .. well it seems like but it's actually less than 4 months!! .. it is taking a lot more thinking about than we'd imagined. Firstly Baby isn't fully equipped yet so I have to go through the packing list to make sure we haven't forgotten anything. Then we have to decide when to pack the bedding, towels and clothes .. too early and they won't be aired ..so to make it easier we'll bring Baby down to the house a few days before we go and put in the dehumidifier ..that will make sure everything is nicely aired.. and we can test out the heating which will probably be needed this early in the season.

We also need to put the leisure battery and Gas in .. With so many other things to think about we'd almost forgotten that Baby hasn't been used for a holiday yet!!

The main reason for this short trip is to try out the awnings on her. We have 2 .. a small portico porch awning and a Dorema full awning. The porch awning is universal so we know that will fit.. but the full awning is going to be too small so we have a conversion kit, consisting of a series of poles and pads, to turn it into a combi awning .. should be fun LOL. We could have sold the full awning and bought a new one to fit ..but the Dorema is nearly new and is big enough for us, one to fit Baby would be too big .....and besides the colours match Baby's livery ;-)) ..so we really hope this conversion works out.
