(Preview)
We are wanting to set ourselves up so that we can use Free Camps. Can anyone please tell us what would be the minimum we would need to be able to run an airconditioner and microwave oven ? We don't have a lot of money, and would like to be able to go away more often without paying for caravan parks all the time....
