It’s great when you find equipment that suits your needs. Too often we have bought something and found out we don’t need it or never use it. With motorhoming we tend to carry even less equipment these days. Thanks for an informative video. 😊 Trev
Hi Trev, I got the idea from this vlog from your chair vlog. We have bought equipment in the past a realised when using that it is not practical. Think the key is to do your research and watch youtube! Thanks for your continued support Trev, take care, Martin
Enjoyed the video we moved from a caravan which I still have to a Motorhome and all the equipment is basically the same I like your chairs and they fold away quite small and if you need to sit at the side of a river in the sun or even on park for a few hours a quality chair certainly does make a difference. As for awnings lol I use quite colourful Lancashire slang whilst I was putting mine up I find it helps lol
That's the good thing of moving from a caravan to a motorhome, you already have most of the accessories you need. Awnings are great but I sometimes wish I didn't have the hassle of having to put one up, I also use colourful language when putting our awning up! Thanks for comments and watching.
Hi Martin, Our current chairs are ok but too heavy. We have the tall unit and use it quite a lot. I liked the second Unit especially the additional Shelf. Thanks Phil👍🙂
Thanks Martin. Like the second storage unit. We looked at something similar last year before we went to Wales. We ended up with one from Aldi which was a bit of a bargain. Thanks for sharing please stay safe and well. Ian & Sonja.
Hi Ian & Sonja, it’s quite a versatile unit which we use for both awnings. Easy to put up as well. Aldi have some good deals on camping stuff now and then. Thanks for watching, stay safe, Martin
Hi Paul, We use that one for bread, tins, and other food stuff that can be stored outside. We do most of our cooking outside so it handy to store stuff in the awning. Thanks for watching & support, Martin
Nice one Martin I have the same folding furniture apart from the chairs have to admit they quick to put up and compact for storage aswell but I bought mine when I did camping before caravaning so came useful for awning afterward Kev
Hi Kev, a lot of awning gear is camping suff, they are well thought out and practical to use. The unit is great for storing and easy to use. Thanks for watching, Martin
Hi Martin I quite like the quest elite chairs we have just purchased the quest 6 gazebo it’s so fast to put up hoping it’s not to big to take to caravan sites for a long weekend saves putting the air awning up 😁
Hi Liz, the chairs are great for both sitting at the table and relaxing. I've looked at the pop up gazebo, we were going to get one for France this year but we have moved the trip to next year now! I am also looking at a canopy for weekends away, not having to put the awning up will give us more chill time. Thanks for comments and support, Martin
Hi Paul & Sarah, Yes it's a good unit and easy to put up. When we are set up I sometimes look around the awning and think, wow where has all this stuff come from. Then I walked around the site and see everyone else has far more than us so I feel happier. Thanks for watching and support, Martin
Hey mate, some great kit there. We never quite sussed out our awning and storage options in it, always just had a cheap table that always seemed a bit pointless, as for the space a table takes, you could have one of these shelving units that offer way more tidy storage. Love the chairs too, we love our chairs but really wish they had some kind of table attached. Thanks for sharing mate
Hi Aaron, It took us a while to get it sort of how we wanted it. it seems to work now. I sometimes start panicking towards the end of a holiday thinking how am I going to get all this back in the van. It's not a great deal of stuff really, when we walk around sites and see some of the stuff that other people take with them. The chairs are great for sitting at the table and relaxing on, the tables are good just awkward when storing them. I would like a canopy for weekends away, just easier but haven't got it past the boss yet! Thanks for you continued support, speak soon, Martin
Nice one Martin, we have the Quest Elite Bordeaux Pro chairs. Brilliant! Got a smashing deal on them. We like you use the caravan table (no extra weight) we also have a storage unit from B&M was £6 brilliant! Cheers, Oliver.
Hope your well bud. Go outdoors is great for storage units. Think we've got the same one as you. Bought a table last year from aldi. Think all we are going to buy now is a wardrobe with it being a older van, not much room for all are cloths. Stay safe
Hi Jon, All well here thanks. Go outdoors have some good deals on now and then, worth keeping an eye on what they have. We could do with a bigger and lighter table, the one in van van is quite heavy. I've reduced the amount of clothes I take as I keep getting told off for taking too much! Thanks for comments and watching, Stay safe, Martin
Always my fault my wife says taking to much again ! But we travel lighter now but have cut the furniture down abit looks like you have a good combo 😀 Cheers Gavin
I covered it on the vlog 'caravan storage condition check' all was ok but I think I may start using them again just as a precaution. Thanks for watching, Martin
Hi Howard, I did our caravan payload a while ago and weighed everything that was in the van...took ages! We have also started taking only the stuff we need for any particular trip rather than carrying everything with us. We carry the really heavy stuff in the car, awning etc. Thanks for comments & support, Martin
Thanks Martin, some great items of kit you have there... 👍🏻👀 You just have to keep spending my hard (?) earned don’t you... 🤷🏼♂️🤑😂 Cheers, Rog... 👍🏻😉🐍
It's never ending now you have a caravan Rog! We've probably wasted loads of money buying stuff that we found out later didn't fit the job, Trev (Poshcats) has more chairs than Go outdoors! Thanks for your continued support, Martin
I know when we eventually get back out there again it will be like starting over again. Looking forward to learning it all again. Thanks for watching, Martin
Thanks we’ve been looking out for chairs recently and the storage unit is great.
There are lots to choose from, they are not cheap so best to do your research. Thanks for watching, 😊

Hi Phil, Yes is difficult to find the right chair, there are so many out there. The second unit is quite versatile, thanks for watching, Martin

Hi Martin. I like the two units especially the first one shown very useful addition might get on line to order. Thanks for sharing.stay safe 👍
Hi Paul, We use that one for bread, tins, and other food stuff that can be stored outside. We do most of our cooking outside so it handy to store stuff in the awning. Thanks for watching & support, Martin
Hi Martin I like the HiGear storage unit, we've been thinking of getting something like this for our awning 👍
Hi Jon, It's a great storage unit and easy to put up. Just hope we get to use it sometime this year!
Thanks for the support mate, Martin

Hi Oliver, we love a good deal. We need to find a bigger table now as the caravan table is quite heavy. Thanks for comments and watching, Martin 😊

Cheers Gavin
We travel fairly light, we see people with far more than we have on site. thanks for watching
those chairs look great I am looking for a chairs for our awning as the ones i have are too low for the table will look into those ones great vid :)
Thanks Joanne, it took us ages to find the right ones as we wanted them for the table and relaxing in. Thanks for the support, Martin 😊
Hi Martin. Great advice as always, thank you. Did I miss your vlog on how you got on with no damp traps, or is that for future?
I covered it on the vlog 'caravan storage condition check' all was ok but I think I may start using them again just as a precaution. Thanks for watching, Martin
Thanks Martin - good advice there - seems quite a bit of extra weight to be under the bed or do you stick some of it in the car ?
Regards

Thanks for your continued support, Martin
14.5 kgs for the chair Martin seems a bit heavy !
You had me thinking and I looked at the vlog again, the first unit is 14kg the chairs are 7.2kg, don't know how I missed that one! cheers Martin
Home from home Martin I have now forgot what we have never mind how to put it all together roll on freedom before I forget we have a caravan
I know when we eventually get back out there again it will be like starting over again. Looking forward to learning it all again.
Thanks for watching, Martin
I'm much happier since we stopped taking the awning and all it's associated crap 😊
I’ve often thought about giving the awning up and just having a canopy 🤔 Maybe one day. cheers 🙂
