Where Have You Been In Your Van Today?

The skies over North Devon are starting to look a bit dodgy as well starting. We decided to take the Kiravans Railsail awning down this morning and put up the (new to us) Debus Sun Canopy as we've not used it in anger yet. Quite pleased with the amount of coverage it gives and also with my home made side walls which I hope give a bit of extra protection and privacy (only fixed one side though!). Just got to wait for the rain now.20240522_105100.jpg

I normally spend the first few hours of rain adapting the poles etc on our debus awning to get the perfect runoff and coverage. Keeps me entertained on rainy days!
 
All set up now in Port Grimaud. Staying at camping de la plage for 7 nights.

Taken almost 1000 miles from home. 5 days to get here with two stopovers. Now time to kick back and chill for a few days. Good news is Elvis is apparently still alive and performing on Friday night :D


*edit*

Dolby's first swim in the Mediterranean.

£20 a night and the facilities are immaculate…the kind of thing you’d expect in an upmarket hotel!
In our three weeks we’ve been here we’ve only seen three other Uk plates, none T6, although apart from the Mohos the T6 seem pretty common all told for work and play.:p
When the cruise ships clear out it is pretty quiet.:)

Did you get an extra pole? Mine only came with 3

So far I've only used mine as a sun shade once or twice - will be interested how well you find it works in some wet stuff

We use our Debus for everything. It’s fine in the wet. Easy to lower a corner for it to drain or to keep diving wind and rain out. Stil waterproof after nearly 4 years.

Are you heading over to Dalsnibba? There’s amazing views up there.
We stayed at the bottom of a glacier opposite the start of the road to the viewpoint.
