Our brand new tent. A Life Under Canvas Touareg bell tent. Sleeps 8, so perfect for two people, particularly as it takes 2 people to lift it.
It was a breeze to set up though, and finally we could offload the mountain of interior decorations, rugs, throws, cushions and lights hoarded in the van to cosy it up.
We plugged in our hired CEE adapter like seasoned pros, a nod of shared understanding to our fellow professionals. We inflated our air bed with integral electrical pump (no-one uses foot pumps here).
As darkness fell, we noticed something else about the benefits of our CEE adapter. The van’s underfloor heating and temperature controller AND our induction hob, both of which we’d written off as broken and in need of professional attention, sprang into life. WE… ARE… SMOKIN’!
