Yep, you won't miss me now as I have a new headdress for special occasions, something to keep my drink cool on a hot day and you will even find me easier with the sticker on the front and back of the tee pee. A big thanks to Cindy for my Cap, stubby holder and stickers. I was offered a shirt when I got my new title...

Hi everyone I'm getting ready for our first trip in the caravan but I was wondering do you buy special sheet that fit the queen size mattresses in the caravan due to the round ends on them ? If anyone has advice on the subject would really appreciate it thanks Robin

The closest we have got to the one that ticked all the boxes was when we checked out a Jayco Silverline 24ft model with the recliner chairs in the front.
