    Sorry to hear of your loss Gary.I have just lost my mum who was also 90.She had been in care for five years with Vascular Dementia and at the end her brain didn't send the signal for her to breath and that is how she went. An evil disease for everyone involved and the cost of care was exorbitant.

    Hi Roger, sorry for the loss of your Mum too. With dad, they said it was pneumonia, but he had a heart attack back in year 2000 which he survived, recently all caught up, which left his heart unable to feed his brain with oxygen, which in turn shut his brain down and therefore his body. Around a year ago, we noticed that his mouth would stay open a lot and his speech became illegible and it has been a gradual decline for a year, accelerated in the last few months. He used to say I don't feel well and I wish I was dead.

    We thought we could get it in by reversing. We did use the motor mover in the end but the ridge onto the pitch made it difficult and we had to push + use the mover. Top and bottom of it is the approach is not wide enough for reversing caravans. It's fine for motorhomes and small camper vans. Had I selected front to rear diff lock it would have been a different story altogether.

    Hi Jackie, ours is a rear dinette version, so we just put shoes and bedding bags under there. You have to be careful not to overload the back end especially on the fixed bed versions, as it does look an attractive place to store things but runs the risk of making the nose weight too light. We know the van is 1300kg fully loaded, which can easily be breached so we put heavy things into the back of the car.

For the <250g you need a licence which is around £12 per year and theres a 40 question course based on your reading recommended to you. The Operating Number is given to you on completion of registration and the course.

    Hi Gary.I haven't seen that set up before.Could it work using say a small hatchback car? The set up looks rapid but you set up your Eriba faster than we do anyway.Ann, my wife thought it better than sleeping on the ground in a tent which she would never do these days.What was Catherine's verdict? Are you going to alternate Eriba and tail gate tent? I suppose a big advsntage is not having to tow the Eriba and better access via narrow roads.

  • @whereveraway
    @whereverawayАй бұрын

    Hi Hayden, yes you can use a small hatchback car. That particular tent fits cars from 1.5 metres to 1.9 metres high. There are various ways of fixing to the car, including suckers that go onto the rear quarter windows. I would check the comfort of the car by putting some mattress toppers down and seeing if your car will be comfy enough for you. Catherine was fine with it and is pleased with the Tent. I agree with you in that we would not want to sleep on the floor either and I do recall one of your previous comments whereby you wanted to try something different. We are away again tomorrow in the tent, but at a much better site than this one. For weekends only, this way you can go away for a single night or two nights at very low cost and either eat out or just put some things into the cooler. No need for electric and if you like to top up phones etc you could use a small Jackery.

    Hi Jane, we will vlog every site we go to. We use C&MH CL sites or Pitch Up nowadays. You can also use Pitch Up for discovery and just call the site at the last minute when you are not requiring a reserved pitch. On your subject of car camping. Most sites don't let sleeping in a car only, but are okay if there's a tailgater attached to it, as they won't know if you are sleeping in the car or not. You could share Eriba facilities whilst your friend sleeps in the car and all you need to do is pay a bit extra for the extra car. You could also put the car at 90 degrees and have a tarp shelter or canopy between her boot and your door to make it a better set up. No one really cares about positioning on an open field.
