My favourite time of the day in the caravan is late at night when everyone is asleep. I like to do a crossword or sudoku or a little macrame and just listen to the night noises, the call of an owl, the surf in the distance.
Now, just for a minute imagine the sound of a plywood cupboard door slamming. Now imagine that multiplied and echoing around a lightly built caravan (of plywood and thin plastic held together with glue and staples) when a couple of not so happy campers arrive late after a too long drive and start banging cupboards in an effort to cook dinner, shattering the peace.
I’m always aware of the damn noise zips make, it doesn’t matter how slowly or quickly I try to open ours it seems like nails on a blackboard. (For anyone who’s only ever lived with Smartboards don’t even try to work that out.)

Oh yes, the zips and of course whizz bangs but when nature calls one doesn’t have a choice.

Doesn’t it make you want to get up super early and make equivalent noise to wake them up?

Well now that you mention it. Hubby has a hearing problem and he wakes very early (having once been a milkman), he also forgets to remove the smoke alarm before cooking toast…
