fromscratch - I hear you on the phone reception! We have our own business so DH's never switches off. Once a year we go down to Yarram in Vic and there is no reception there, it's absolute bliss! We don't carry a TV or anything like that, DD has a portable DVD player in the car that we really try to restrict to just the travel to wherever we're going. We tend to chill out and chat or play board games once it's dark, but it's funny looking around a caravan park at night and seeing all the TVs on in vans What car did you get? We have a Territory that tows okay, but we're upgrading DH's old work van to a Ford Ranger twin cab, hopefully within the next 18 months. I somehow think the Territory won't be used for towing after we get the ute!
