Hi, this is the first time ive posted here, but ive found the site extreamly useful.
Anyway heres my question- i have found a site near Weymouth (oslington) looks really good but the problem is its a slopeing site . I have a pennine aztec folding camper and was wondering if anyone has any advice on pitching it on slopeing land. Its only my second time out in it . The site doesnt take caravans only tents (and trailer tents).Do you think i should pitch with the awning going up the slope, down the slope, sideways?? lol, sorry , im just getting my knickers in a twist about nothing probably, but i dont want to go all the way down there with my 3 kids then not beable to pitch. Any advice ?
Id pitch with the trailer levelled as much as possible, and the awning going downhill. Most sites have one or two 'better' pitches, and if you ask beforehand they may save one of those for your TT. I just find it hard to get the bottom of the canvas low enough all the way round, and tend to have draft gaps in places! Take your time pitching would be the best advice I guess, and double check each step all round before moving on to the next one. Good luck!
------------- Gone are the 'sleeping on the floor' times, I love my TT.
Firstly put the main trailer as level as possible, with the awning it is usually ok as you can set the hieght etc.
We have learn't from our mistakes.... chock the wheels, we woke one morning and our TT had moved a few inches lol it was the pegging of the awning that had held us in place
Don't worry it's all good fun a nice level site would be too easy .....
Oh, thank you so much for replying, i have rang to ask if they could possibly reserve me a pitch thats level but they told me theres no pitch booking they just book us in to make sure theres no overcrowding. Apparently there are a few leveish places, we just have to try and get there early (5hr drive) so i may have o leave in the middle of the night lol. Ill take my chocks with me and face the awning down the slope.
