Thanks for that offer feldar, you never know if/when we get a camper, we could go any where??? I used to often visit the New Forest, love trees, forests and woodland.

Morri2, we were worried some one was getting into our garden and taking them, the eggs that is, last year some one took o ur apples from our new tree and I was gutted, theres loads on there now but of course not ready yet, I may have to sit in the garden with the dogs to ward them off

We are going to, hopefuly buy one at the end of the season, a lot of elderly/retired people buy them as give them little useage so, we should get one that will suit our budget and needs. THe old 1972 VW that we sold, took us all over the place but we need something bigger with 4 dogs and more comfort for me, there is only so much walking around bending over all the time, I can do!!!! We are watching E Bay and local adds and theres some lovely ones out there...so, watch this space!!!!

we are gettin one egg every two days from two chickens, but around an egg a day from each of the three quail. As with others in the posts ours all have their own special place to lay.

What about a smaller camper van (more affordable) and a trailer for the dogs like our esteemed CSSA chairman's? They could choose their own curtains and stuff - I'm sure they would love it, especially if it meant Mummy was happy and there were lots of new smells to investigate (and horrid dead things to retreive)

We currently have a Renult Kangoo....I have seen them converted, but we thought way back before we actualy moved here, we would trade our hippy VW for an oldy retired persons (sorry nearly one myself) coach built one, I think 4 dogs would keep us warm and cosy at night in a large one and if needed I could attatch an awning!!! I suppose running costs are much more all round but fingers crossed, we should get one and feel a bit free er, for some very strange reason, every thing is changing in Sept, my daughters off to be together in AUss for the eldests book launch, my cousin visiting me, Steve working away, my brother having his heart re started and loads of other stuff I am not going into...we are also over full of visitors etc so we would LOVE to go off for Christmas or winter, a few miles away 50 say and just camp!!!!!! Whats the chairman got then?

Sandy, Stuart runs a 4 x 4 and has a trailer for the dogs - it is very common with working people. You probably saw Charlie's one up at Mordar, it was there when Steve and I went to mate Islay the first time she had pups, and he had it next to the ring at the Game Fair last year during his demo. But that doesn't solve the sleeping arrangements for you and Steve!

I'm a common working person but I think an old hippy rusty van more me and steve

If we go away in the cold weather we need them to keep us warm!!

Yup, I think you're right. To be honest I've never been keen on these trailer things. A lot of the sheepdog triallers use them too.

One of the things about the sheepdog trailers is that they are air-conditioned, so the dogs are cool and comfortable whatever the weather outside and however long they have to be in the trailer. It makes a lot of sense when they are going to events where not all dogs can be out of their cars all of the time!

I didn't realise that Sally, but I'm a big softy and I'd want my dogs in with me.
