.....or have we forgotten something

This morning we had a trial run at loading the car ready for the off. Against last year, we had already decided that we didn't need a few items but the biggest difference this year is that we wish to take the bikes.
We were amazed that apart from the two bikes, we've managed to get the camping fridge, a counter top freezer, the full awning and poles, ground sheets, chair cushions, two spare wheels (car + caravan), tool bag and electric pump, a cuddly toy ( not really ) and there's still enough room for those last minute items so we are well pleased. And we can still see through the rear window.
This means that we will not have to shift things in and out of the caravan when stopping overnight. How good is that?

You'd have even more room if you weren't taking half your kitchen with you

How is this an advantage when you are towing a caravan?

Suitcases, freezers, seat cushions?

I'm beginning to worry that we must have been doing something wrong for the past three years and now find myself questioning whether we really did enjoy our holidays without all the paraphernalia that some people obviously find essential.

I can honestly say that on no occasion have we felt the need for extra cupboard/wardrobe/stowage space inside the caravan on our four week jaunts to the South of France and towing with a convertible with the roof down whenever possible (and therefore with even less boot space available than normal,) neither car nor caravan has ever been fully laden.

Coz as long as you don't drive a car where your 'a**e is 6" above the floor there is a slight view through the caravan and a part view of the road behind
