I want to use CLs with no facilities and so am looking into what I need in addition to a van!
i have several scenarios and several things I already own or am researching but the reality is that I like to travel 'light' (and with a few creature comforts), so if I can combine their use and manage with fewer things, PRACTICALLY, that would be great.
So, the scenarios:
1 storage [currently using queque shelter which is perfect]
2 shower/loo for stays on CL sites [thinking of a Khyam-sturdy, easy to put up/down]
3 shelter from sun [canopy]...I have a tarp too but that was a joke, it took up half the site! The poles made for a good washing line though!
4 midge shelter [i have a Coleman 10x10, not yet tried!
OR would a quechua base 2 do for all of the above, if on a longer trip and want to cover all bases? Good for sun shelter..does it get a sufficient through breeze and sun protection? Can a midge proof net be made to zip into doors?
Problem here is the hassle, but it might be worth it if a shower/loo was required....that being the instigator of the dilemma.
I might just stick to 1 for normal weekend site camping in UK.
