We have a two and a half year old boy and an eleven month old girl so wanted to make a van that would be practical and comfortable for us in years to come if we chose to travel further afield.

Well aside from the few normal glitches you would expect we are totally happy with what we have.

West Beach Caravan Park was lovely as well, right on the beach, good security, clean amenities with a seperate baby bathroom and todder and full size pool, great playground, big games room and large double concrete sites.

I enjoyed cooking on my new gas cooktop and in the oven and built in microwave with a huge fridge freezer, a far cry from my old cramped kitchen in our old van.

Will write some more on our first trip tomorrow.....
