Gobi Jun 2022 7:14pm, 8 Jun 2022 77,101 posts	Quote Pin Gobi I replaced my fully built T4 with a LWB T5 that had nothing and have used it as a van. It now has a leisure battery and solar panel plus the pop top. These were the things I needed and will/do use. I know I want a heater for CX season so that will happen but then it will stop. Cooking has always been done in the awning using a small gas hob.

Reiver Jun 2022 9:32am, 10 Jun 2022 3,073 posts	Quote 1 pin Reiver We've just been away for the Jubilee weekend and have come to the conclusion that we're not going to bother with the faff of the full awning. We bought the Easy Camp canopy which slides into the awning rail and erects quickly with two poles which are pegged with ropes. We then used the windbreak to make our seating area more private, and it's soooo much easier than erecting and dismantling the awning for a single night.

Takes around 15 minutes to set up and you have the freedom to only put on the required sides (ie where the wind/rain is coming from).
GimmeMedals Jun 2022 12:59pm, 10 Jun 2022 22,805 posts	Quote Pin GimmeMedals We don't bother putting up the awning for short stays - Mr GM likes to take it down the day before we are leaving so it gets packed away dry with no morning dew/condensation, so it isn't worth putting up unless we are on a pitch for at least 4 nights.
