All set up. Cadac on it’s maiden mission with seasoned pork belly, lovely weather, new satellite system all working, local cider, Handy tree stump, nice neighbours and firepit ready to go. Been a bit of a faff getting set up but it’s all worth it in the end . Happy days.
Just perfect

Where abouts are you? The weather has turned here (Cotswolds) for the better but as soon as the sun drops it gets really cold and damp. Currently sitting in the awning contemplating putting the red wine in the microwave to warm it up a bit!!!
Stonehenge Touring Park near Salisbury.
btw , totally incinerated my pork belly. I attempted to slow cook with the lid on which ended badly. I don’t think it’s suited for any kind of slow cooking. Hopefully things go better tomorrow doing brekkie in the paella pan!
quite chilly here now. I’ve got a fire going but prob won’t be that long before I retreat inside!
You’re at Broadway arent you? I’d like to go there sometime and have a look at the railway.
Yes, great site and location BUT expensive if you choose a serviced pitch. Heritage railway runs alongside and plenty of pubs a 15 minute walk away.
I've retreated in. As much as I like a fire, I was getting colder and colder. I think the dog was pleased to get in too, has promptly leapt onto the bed with muddy paws! 
Slow cooking in a CADAC, buy the roasting dish accessory and then raise the wire rack off the bottom to keep the meat away from direct heat. Works vey well 😋
Managed a very enjoyable fire tonight, but alas, the rain has arrived! Dog is already set up on the bed, arranging himself to take up the maximum amount of area possible.
@Christhecaravanner84 Your gas hose to the Cadac looks to be really long, do you suffer from pressure drop at all?
Not any that I have noticed. A lot of folk would say it shouldn't be that long but it gives me flexibility to place the Cadac out of the wind. I disconnect and coil it up when not in use.
It's pressure gain in the caravan overnight with me and the dog sleeping in there. The methane build up can reach dangerous levels...
I suffer badly from pressure drop every time I use the caravan. Glass of wine and the pressure just falls away 🍷
Hopefully not to the levels of that dairy farm in the USA which exploded and sadly killed 18,000 cattle.
Texas dairy farm explosion kills 18,000 cows
Animal welfare activists say the incident is "by far" the deadliest barn fire in recent memory.
