I've only been a fair weather caravaner who has opted for serviced pitches, toilet blocks, EHU etc so I'm really interested how people get on "in the middle of a field in the middle of no where".
How long does your 12V battery last and what do you do when your toilet, waste master etc need emptying? What about your microwave (assuming you've got one - my last 'van didn't). Have people got solar panels to charge the battery or is there other ways in doing this other than hooking up to the car.
Have people bought 12V TV's or do you go back to the old values of talking to each other, playing games, reading books etc?
I only ask because I passed a rally a few weeks ago near Leisure Sales in Sandbach and wondered how people got on.
We've got a really comfy 'van now and I'm very serious about making the most of it in all weathers/locations/facilities etc.
As you can tell by the above, 'novice' is my middle name.
Any tips, antecdotes, etc would be very gratefully received.
Or if you can point me towards other forums then please do.
Thank you
Jon
