Episode 36 – The First Things we pack. First Show of the year prep!!

In today's show, I briefly talk about the first Campervan and Motorhome Show of the year. I also give you a run down of all the things we definitely recommend you should pack, as they are always the first things in our 'van when we head off.

The transcript below is auto-generated, so apologies if it reads strangely!

It's Friday, the 28th of January, this is episode 36, and welcome back to Driving Horizon's.

Hello, hello, hello, and good morning. Good afternoon and good evening to whenever or wherever you are listening to this is Richard here, and welcome back to the podcast.

If you are new here than welcome and if you are a regular, well, of course. Welcome back, I hope. As always, everyone has had a brilliant week and I've just realized I haven't got myself a glass of water, so we'll have to remedy that in a moment.

You may find me talking a little bit slower in today's podcast and hopefully also a little bit clearer because I am trying to transcribe the words on the show so that I can add words over or the transcription to my website, to the show notes, in case there are people that would like to read it, as well as listen to it or instead of listening to it. And I'm also going to try and cut out the ums, but that's the hardest thing, I think. What have we been doing this week? Not too much. I have been getting ready for the first or my first motorhome and campervan show of the year that is happening

in Exeter.

It is happening today and probably depending on when you listening to this, but certainly when the show goes live, I will be cruising along a south coast road somewhere. It's his anything up to a three-hour drive, so fingers crossed there's not too much traffic.

I think I will be spending two days at this show. The first day I will try and see as many of the motorhomes and campervans as I can because I have a feeling it will be a lot quieter on Friday than Saturday.

I would imagine that there are many children still at school, so if families are thinking of going, they will probably pick the Saturday to go. So hopefully the Friday will be a bit quieter and I can have a nose around all the campgrounds and motorhomes.

I'm not entirely sure how many new models will be there. I think a lot of those will be saved for the NBC show, the month after which we are also going to. But I'm still going to have a look around, get some ideas and try to understand a little bit more about the bigger vans.

What's the difference between our California and the bigger vans if we ever decided to upgrade to something slightly bigger? So that is what's happening in happening in next week? And stay tuned or tune in to next week's show because I will be going into everything there in a lot more detail.

I will also, perhaps I'm not sure yet, but I may flood my Twitter feed with photos and notes from the show. Have a look over on Twitter. Richard Shelby UK is the Twitter handle, I guess is the right word, and let me know.

Follow us over there for updates and bits and pieces on all things complaining. What is today's show about? Well, I think one of these almost two years ago in the summer of 2020, and we've sort of added a few things to the list, and I thought I would go through a few things that we always pack.

first, it doesn't matter where we're going, how many days we're going for or how far we're going. There are certain things that we always put in the campervan first, so I'm going to grab myself a glass of water.

Stay tuned. And I will r
