Rookie takes first outing in new camper

Post by Llamapup »

I'm so excited! I've just been for my first outing in my campervan. A long walk around the Ilkley Moor and then back for a nice cup of tea and some lunch prepared on my lovely two burner cooker.

Yippee!

I'm like a kid with a new toy. Later tonight I might just sit in it and drink a beer while contemplating how best to stow all my camping gear in those nice Westy cabinets. For now I'll just stare at it out my front window while my family makes fun of me.

Great pic, I was like that when I got mine, I now need an excuse to get out in the bad weather to try the night heater lol.

Those cupboards soon fill up, very very quickly

No toast yet. But thats a pita bread being warmed up in the frying pan. ...... Mostly I just needed an excuse to use both burners.

Wait till you have a dump in it. Very satifying, though it does take a bit of getting used to.

I'm not just making cups of tea in a lay by any more, I'm acutally camping!

I have finally managed to take Freeda out for her first camping trip! It was great. Even driving home was fun. I hadn't anticipated the amusement I got from driving about in a van that smells of a fry up. Hmmmmmm bacon!
