I too am an addict. I have to stop myself from buying more kit too. I'm slobbering over the retro melamine on fleabay at the moment, and the set we have is a perfectly good one so I've no excuse. I want chairs to match the table in the awning, but then we'd need comfy sitting out chairs as well, which is totally impractical and just not happening, but it doesn't stop me looking.
I have another confession too. On journeys in the van, me and OH count how many other vans we see. Just a silly game we play and terribly sad I know. I could never confess that to a non-vanner!
Me too, I love that retro melamine. It's so funky, and we play the caravan game too, we do the ' who can spot the first van, and if it's a long journey we do the how mant swifts baileys ect

Adopt a rescue, rescue dogs make great pets, don't support puppy farms.
The road can be tough and rough,but what you put in you get back 10 x more.
So glad I'm not alone!! Only had our van since easter but still browsing the net. Also subscribed to practical caravan. Had to laugh at OH today, he took van in to get a couple of things fixed and i knew he would spend even more money on even more bits and pieces. Steady pads this time (even though we had some already from FC)

You already have Annie as we have an fc so more canvas, so a non-vanner. but as we are the same Annie dont you car a hoot. We are not mad it is all those that think us campers etc are crazy whilst they are told to shift out of their bedrooms as the maid want so clean them or having them come back in when you want you siesta. We come & go wherever, they are stuck. So who really has the freedom to do what they like ....us
Yep we do the counting caravans thing as well. The really funny thing is hearing the children discussing the merits or otherwise of various set ups. They are 8 and 4
Well I think its official, this is a condition that is little appreciated and obviously not spoken about, But if more people like us speak out about Caravan porn it will be listed as a feel good factor illness. No I dont want a vaccination!!!
