We just got asked to move the groundsheet off the grass by the owner....
Nothing to peg the awning down to hence the right side overhanging the hard standing...

On the plus side,nice big rally field next door,and the owls in the aviary....

Although frost on the windscreen last night we woke to rain after a brilliant nights sleep,very cosy
in the Freda.
We slept on one of these memory foam mats off eBay,can't recommend them enough

that matress looks really comfy, we used the blow up double matress which was very comfy but added so much height to the seats it was hillarious trying to get in after the bed was all made up, ( no room whatsoever) :lol:

That was the reason we went for the memory foam mattress,my wife's 3 toilet trips on our first night out
in the Freda nearly ended in tears as she dangled her feet over the side of the blow-up airbed reaching for the step...

The memory foam mattress folds up and with the supplied elastic straps it sits
nicely behind the rear seats with the thermal blinds...

I can't say they bothered me too much, but the BOSS said without the mattress she felt the headrests on her :-# :lol:

I take the headrests out and stuff the hole with things like sleeping bag covers, etc. Anything really.

Thats a great idea to remove the headrests, but instead of stuffing the gap with bags i'll tell the BOSS it was sugested on the forum that she fill the depression with her *** :!: :lol:
