Make sure the kids are loaded with snacks.
Make sure they have decent waterproofs and wellies.
One parent (mum in our family) takes them off to find the loo, explore the site, jump in puddles (my youngest is 10 and still loves this)
Other parent (me) ...
Pops roof.
Wind out awning
Add comfort awning panels.
Turns on gas...gets kettle on.
Bungee cords across awning struts and hooks = drying space.
Sorted.
I’ve found the most important thing about making it successful in a California is take as little as you can get away with. Don’t pile up the back with stuff as you can’t then move anything around the van.
I honestly don’t get the drive away awning thing unless you want to sleep in it. It only take 10 minutes to put on the Comfort panels and then 10 minutes to take them off again. I’ve never been in such a hurry that this was a problem.
