2020 was going to be our year of camper van adventures. Last autumn we bought a VW T5 and started planning the festivals we wanted to go to and a big summer road trip through Spain and France. Well, plans have obviously had to change. But we can still dream….
Read moreIf your kids are like mine they will love playing with boxes. Whether they are made of card, paper or plastic, boxes hold their attention for ages. And the more flaps and compartments the better. Something we have been playing with recently is the Teebee box – a travel-friendly toy…

Read more*Advertisement feature* If you’ve followed me for any length of time you’ll know that the Tin Box family rarely sits still for long. We’re fidgets! But, living in rural Devon, we wouldn’t get far without a fully functioning van to take us on our adventures. Having said that, I’m useless…

![[AD] This felt soooo GOOD!
Out first camping weekend of 2020 was awesome. The sun shone, we had a great pitch and we were next to the beach 🙌 I’ll be writing more about our site, Perran Sands, soon so keep an eye out on the blog - it’s a top family holiday park in Cornwall.
The weekend was also our first chance to try out our new @OLPROeverywhere Cocoon Breeze Air Beam camper van awning, which we were sent to test.
We’ve never had an ‘air’ anything before so it was interesting to see how it went up compared to the traditional pole tents and awnings we’ve had.
The first use was a success and we’re looking forward to using it during more trips over the summer.
I’ll be doing a full Cocoon Breeze review soon. Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to know.
In the meantime, if you need any essential camping kit I have an OLPRO discount code for followers. Just use TINBOX10 on their website.
What adventures did you get up to at the weekend? Or do you have some in the pipe line?
