How to pitch

Well BB unless you sat in your Campervan and ate your breakfast, you would be getting pretty wet sat outside, if you were away on holiday in this country this week. Still there is always Kellogg's.........that is a sunshine breakfast..........other brands are available

Try the East coast👍🏻

...and this is the point....why would i want to sit in a tent when its raining to have breakfast when i can sit in my motorhome...if id wanted to spend time 'under canvas' i would have bought a tent, not a MH. 

perhaps, as David points out, sitting outside for breakfast is a foreign concept to some. my breakfast brand of choice is 'sunny disposition'😉

weve just had two weeks away, one in Devon, the other in Cornwall and yes, the UK weather can be a bit trying (this has been our first Spring here in 10 years and we are far more used to touring in sunshine), but we still managed to eat outside on a few occasions.

we have a simple approach...if its nice we are outside, if its not we are in the van. 

similarly with our kit (incl bikes chairs, table, BBQ/grill etc) which is either left out (sunny) or put in the garage (inclement).

im sure awnings are great (a million caravanners cant be wrong😱) provided there is a need for one...we just dont have that need.

Spot on BB................I am sure a lot of people would agree with that lifestyle.

It was fine to do that at FM for several days 

We do not now use any type of awning ,we wind out the Thule canopy sometimes (they get very dirty )now OH has an electric buggy we have reserected our large toilet tent/shed, as a garage 

Each to their own, we are all different. Unless very heavy rain we had all our meals in our awning, despite having plenty of room in the van. Felt more private than eating outside, table by the big 'window' permanently. We could hear and see the nature all around us, without being bothered by wasps and flies.  I think I miss our awning more than the van.

as you say, each to their own ...i just get 'stuck' imagining sitting inside a tent for my evening meal (et le vin) when the sun is out and its t-shirt, shorts (or less) warm...

must be just us, i guess...not to worry😀

No BB it isn't just you, we would never sit in an awning in sunny weather either...........for a start an awning can get unbearably hot, but for the not so nice days they are there for the wet clothing and extended space for larger families.
