In this video our friend Alison stays at her first ever campsite in her new campervan, a Wildax Aurora Leisure XL. We help her to work out how things work on her first time on campsite.

We travel from Norfolk Broads Caravan and Motorhome Club Site to Grafham Water Caravan and Motorhome Club Site, to meet up with our friends Bryan, Dave and Marion and Alison.

    Full respect to Alison. I find her inspiring - a single woman vanning alone for the first time. I think her courageousness may just encourage more single women to have the confidence to go it alone.
  • We all need a Bob on our maidan journey to a campsite. Well done Alison, the next time will be even easier. Sky is a beautiful dog, having a dog with you makes the adventures so much better. My Coco loves our van.

    i love how bob loves to share his knowledge, both with viewers and his real life friends, well done bob
  • We had a week in our caravan at Grafham Water at the end of June, having seen your previous video and liked the look of it. We arrived on Saturday afternoon and because we were staying for a week the wardens kindly, and unexpectedly, saved a hardstanding pitch for us if we wanted it. The pitch was number 3, right opposite the service point that’s next to the MSP, which was extremely handy as we could quickly top up our Aquaroll and empty the grey water which made using our own washroom easy. The wardens were chatty and helpful, and they really looked as though they enjoy their work. I’ve seen several sites whilst watching your videos that I’d like to visit, so thank you for showing us around and taking us along on your holidays.
  • Hi Bob and Jenny, your adventures have been a much needed relief during pandemic have been so grateful as have missed going away and seeing different places and trips down memory lane, thank you so very much keep up the good work xx
  • So happy Alison got to use her van and yourself and Jenny there to show her the ropes, i think she may go on to have lots more adventures now :)
  • @chrislugg5827
    Absolutely love watching you vlogs, especially when you’re on the way to a new site. Alison looked a bit nervous to start off but looks like she will enjoy her motor home. 😁😁 Keep these brilliant vlogs coming.👍👍

  • @elaineh7811
    Alison has two good friends to help her 👍Poppy and Tara have made them selves at home with Skye 🐕
  • Thank you both, and Alison, love Skye, and of course Poppy and Tara. I am really enjoying all your travels. Take care.
  • Great video Bob, Alison was grateful of your help, I thought she did very well, very brave to be single in your van. Just needs confidence. We will be very anxious when we get our motorhome and there will be two of us!! Xx
