ADVERTISMENT
2. Stabilise Humans Before Stabilising the Van: In my family, hungry = hangry. As soon as the fridge is accessible, hand out fruit, crack cold water and find shade.
This step is not optional in our routine. Five minutes spent balancing blood sugar is a solid investment in future you.
3. Divide & Conquer: Create a mine-and-yours list. If kids are involved, colour-code and laminate it, and keep a marker handy for ticking-off satisfaction. No hovering,“ when can we?” whinging, muttering or mid-job takeovers. When everyone knows their job, things move quickly and quietly. And quiet is incredibly underrated.
4. Eliminate Repeat Trauma: It’ s the same smelly hose every trip. The same tangled lead. The same“ I thought you packed it properly” conversation. Invest in gear that works with you.
A Flat Out drinking water hose is flexible, cleanly wound and properly stored. It runs out smoothly and packs away in seconds, self-draining as it goes. No spring-loaded ambush.
AFTER
BEFORE
A Flat Out sullage hose is smooth inside, easy to flush, and packs into a fraction of the space. No lingering nastiness and no bootfilling python waiting to strike.
And your extension lead? Let’ s save abstract art impressions for the kids’ colouring book. Flat Out’ s silicone leads are flexible, waterproof and UV-stable. Wound neatly on a Multi-Reel, they behave like grown-ups every time.
When setup takes minutes and pack-up is clean, you remove one more repeat trigger from your weekend away.
Yes, this part is technically an ad. Flat Out was invented for exactly this reason: to stop the same frustration happening over and over again. If that happens to reduce the bickering along the way, we’ ll happily take the credit.
