I don't believe it!

Hubby and I are rolling around laughing.  How do you get in?

Bet his van is overweight with that lot on board!

I'll keep an eye on my poles then Paul. When they break I'll try a Eurohike one instead. Definitely a more user-friendly price tag.

CupraR,

Did you find the Eurohike windbreak on Millets website? I can't seem to find it listed? Any clues for me or maybe a link?

Thanks in advance

Blimey, that could almost have been us! Hubby seems to have a collectors theme where wind breaks are concerned! What with the number of those and the almost compulsory purchases of yet another new aeriel every time we go on the annuals! Boot sale here I come...... Bet even the luxury of this new Status thingie that came on the new van won't even deter him with the aerial obsession.

Have to say that I really couldn't be doing with those ones with the see through panels though,(wind breaks not aerials!), crumbs you wouldn't even be able to pick your nose in private!!!

Give us the good old stripy jobs any day! If they can take all the sea 'breezes', (bit of a joke, they're more like mini hurricanes where we go), that our campsite can throw at us and remain in tact, then they're the ones for us.

Just want to know one thing though. Does anybody know why the wooden poles keep mysteriously disappearing! Surely campers/caravanners are an honest bunch and wouldn't actually nick other peoples - or would they???? One year, we noticed that there were quite a few wind breaks whose owners awoke to find the odd one pole missing some mornings! Perhaps there were just a lot of mini trainee javeline throwers about that year? Somehow the idea of rigging some sort of alarm on your wind break's a bit extreme when they're not that dear to buy in the first place, but things are looking desperate... MInd you, I just knew there had to be a use for that external three pin socket - it's obviously to wire your wind break poles to lol!

4 days to hols and counting....

Can't believe that piccy!!! How many tins of beans does he eat???

We use one wind break - the old one literally fell apart one camping trip - we duck taped it together (it looked like swiss cheese!) this gave our camping neigfhbours a laugh any way!

Got a replacement on in France - stupid thin metal poles - took old wooden poles and restitched plastic fabric to make suitable slots - bingo ! Good as new.

Works a treat and no further embarassment - how may windbreaks was that?
