Be careful Grey Nomads. Talking to our son tonight and Whooping cough is till going around. He has had 5 kids off his clas this week with it. One girl was tested - positive - and she didn't even have a cough at the time. Scary stuff. He decided to take a course of antibiotics for it too. 6 kids off today.

As a newbie to the Grey Nomads arena I could do with some help. We'd like to get a tent for the side of our Merc Sprinter so that we can leave it set up in the Caravan park whilst we go sight seeing. Has anyone got a suggestion to make about a suitable tent for this purpose? Thanks for your input. Keith
