Now in our 2nd year with the M/H and getting to grips with it ,but the one thing I find is leaving items on the pitch when we go out for the day (chairs,table,etc), thinking of buying a pup tent to leave these items in (secured together), are there other alternatives as even a pup tent seems a bit big ????

We leave most things outside. Last year in France we stayed fixed for two weeks as the weather was poor elsewhere. I managed to leave the canopy tie-down straps and pegs in position, mark the wheel positions with bits of wood, return to exactly the same location, wind out the canopy and attach the straps.

Generally we found that the minimum number of accessories and equipment works best. Less to pack, less to carry, less to lose.

We use a Decathlon pop up tent, easy to store and very light. We don't have an awning or storage garage, campervan. Works well even on pitch for storing walking boots BBQ etc.

We leave the pitch taken sign. Everything else is put away although we do travel light. One of the external toilet tents is an alternative to a pup tent. When in Switzerland, we went out for the day and came back to find a Polish couple had erected a small tent in the corner of our pitch. They were very apologetic but we let them stay as they were nice people. I doubt anyone would park their motorhome on a pitch with a toilet tent already in place.
