Now, back to winter purchases, I picked mine up today, got it back to it's storage place & had a little play with it.

I took some pics & think it's probably going to be best if I put a thread in the caravan section, in due course.......

(there's a hint there somewhere as to what the "winter purchase" actually was :tune: :lol: )

Here's the link to the thread. It's quite a big winter purchase, but I bet it's not the most expensive winter purchase of the forum.......

The other thing that the OH wants is a Outwell Richmond Kitchen Table.



Not sure why but i think she misses the sink when we go away :rofl2:


Hi Rob.
The new Outwell quick erect units are first class and so quick and easy to put up, and that's the one you can keep a gas bottle in,
Regards
Rex.


We've had one of these for a few years. Very quick to put up and put away. Though have never used the sink - a bowl is a lot more practical. Also after a few years use, the thin metal strips that slot in to keep the wind break in place have got twisted. Still a really useful bit of kit.
We've not got a stove with a large gas bottle - but that space always gets used for something.
