silly things you have done

we met some people this arvo that are new to vanning, got talking about thiings to do and watch out for, general stuff. the wife started to remind us about the first caravan park we went to. it was about 25 years ago, we were driving from Adelaide to brisvagas with the kids. we had a nissan blue bird and an old sun wagon.
we had free camped all the way from Adelaide to bald rock in the national parks, after doing the climb to the top of bald rock we decided to drive all night to reach Byron bay.
We arrived about 2am. there was a sign at the front office that said if arriving after 11pm just find a site and we will see you in the morning. so off i go and look for a site in the dark, came across a really nice one close to the beach. get out check the spot only to find a bloody great concrete slab about 250mm off the ground. I'm thinking, Ive heard about these flash storms up here and it must be so you don't get flooded, so out with the wooden blocks to try and get the sun wagon onto the slab. took three or four goes lots of abuse to the wife and kids but managed to get it up there and set up, this all took about an hour and a half.
next morning when we get up i find that we are the only van on the concrete slab and the rest of the fellow vanners all had there annexes on them. park owner comes down, normal small talk at first,then she askes, first time vanner are we. got sh%$ from the wife for years after that one. have plenty more but have got better over the years.
