I didn't stir all that early, the beer last night may have contributed, but one I'd had breakfast it didn't take to long to get packed up before heading in to Hebden Bridge. That's really the big advantage with the campervan, being able to pack up and call in places, not just go straight home. I had a good look round and bought a couple of books before starting the trip home.
I made another brief diversion into a motorhome dealers as I noticed a couple of smaller models. Not that I'm in the market of course at the moment! One was a quite nice looking pop-top conversion of a Toyota HiAce. When I was looking most of those were high tops and ruled out, that one I could go for. The other was a slightly odd conversion on a Fiat van. The roof lifted electrically then the two beds slid out sideways. There were some practical advantages but I felt it was over complex and liable to be troublesome.
After that it was just a case of hitting the motorway for a slightly unpleasant drive home due to the high winds. I stopped a couple of times and did finally get home in one piece.
Main conclusion is that I can manage off grid and on no facility sites but I'd only want to do so for a couple of nights. Otherwise I've got things sorted pretty much as I need so I'm happy. I had one breakage, the handle fell off my mug! Fortunately I've got spares as I had 4 in the old folding camper. Next trip will be the long holiday in a few weeks, need to check the gas and restock some of the tinned food but there's not much to do before then.
