Looks like the whole family had a god time!!!
I saw stocking hats, and coats so it had to be a good time near the fire at night.

What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss

that is really cool Micheal, it would be handy with all the kids, stripping them down in there instead of tracking all the dirt inside.
So do you have a regular awning as well or just that?
Do you just roll it up or do you have to place it in a track each time to set it up?
I like your windows.  ::)

That's beautiful country Mel and Chris!  Looks like you guys had a blast. :)

I'm green with envy.  Would love to have my own RV one day.

it just slides in an out no problem and rolls up into a sports bag, very simple, takes 5-6 mins to set it up and put away, i also have a pull out sun canopy as well

   Thats a great idea,    How do you aim it?.....do you have to buy a special gizmo to hook to the dish and find the signal?

you get a compass and just point the dish in the general direction, for the astra satellite here its souuth from the uk, then you use a meter which is just a few bucks and it makes a large whistling sound when the direction is spot on, you can buy special tvs and satellite receivers as well chris which run off the battery if no mains electriciaty is available
