Do you think we will have enough room for all camping gear, four people and a roofbox in an astra size hatchback, I am panicking I have ditched the table top fridge, does anyone know of any hire shops aound Polzeath??
If you really squash its amazing what you can do we got two adults and three little kids in a volvo with no roof box for long weekend last year. Was squashed but we did it and had a great time, although currently trying to get bigger car
i can get everything i need into my astra sri. i put the 2 kids together on the 60% split of the seat, and put the table up the side with the 40% split as extra boot space.

We just came back from five weeks camping in France....we got two adults, two kids, bike seat, 3-way fridge, large tent, kitchen tent and cooker stand, snorkling gear, body board, sports equipment and all other stuff into a Renault Savanna Estate. No roofbox....we needed the roof for the bikes.
I still think I took too much.How long are you going for? Remember, you can always hunt down extra things in local shops, so don`t take them "just in case". And charity shops are good sources of odd emergency items, like an extra pan.
depends on how old/big the kids are but get them to sit on the sleeping bags and fill the footwells up even the front passenger seat, dont take to much food with you buy it there but use the space in the fridge to put your kicthen stuff in and last but most important makesure the last thing you put in is the tent as this will be the first thing to come out, ohyes nearly forgot put a strap over the roof box, dont want your stuff down the motorway when the lid springs open!! your table should go in the roof box and then other stuff on that
Don't worry too much, cause no matter what you've got you will always run out of room, well I do. I'm always buying the next gadget or other, OH is always groaning when I go to Lidls or netto. I just can't help myself.
