My current setup although this is liable to change (apparently). Gazeebo is a £15 Argos special which always looks like it's going to break and have to be left behind but it's survived two years now and still takes all the weather has thrown at it.
Was that dadford campsite, silverstone?
Unfortunately the same price as a mid-range caravan but they do hold their price better. Plus they are cheaper to insure and cost less in fuel to tow.
The awning is optional but I think everyone buys one when purchasing new as I have ever only seen one for sale without.
The main unit can be set-up / taken down in around 10 minutes but the awing is a pain in the neck, same as a caravan really.

Somewhere near the 'Ring. No colour coordination intended!

I have enjoyed a few motorhomes of late in return for written reviews.
Last weekend I was in this Bailey Approach
Hi Paul, my parents are about to pull the trigger on a new 2014MY 745 Approach. What did you think of it? They're no strangers to camping, having had tents, trailer tents, 2 European motorhomes, and one RV.Last weekend I was in this Bailey Approach
They are going European because mum fell very ill a couple of years ago (Stroke), so they wish to use it on a very regular basis. The RV was great when it was used 5 maybe 6 times a year at 8mpg, but adds up significantly when used 6-8k miles p.a.

Nice one Russ - we had a 2001 Pathfinder for a season. We sold it for only two reasons - first, madam (AKA OH) wanted a unit with its own (internal!!) shower. Second, at the time of owning it, we were both still working and thus had no way of drying it out if we had ever had to pack it away when wet, as access to the garage essential. It was an easy tow behind our (then) Rover 45 TDi. It came with the awning, of which full price is about £1300 plus! I found the unit a doddle to put up and down, even without gas struts, single handed, even at my age. I also found the awning not too bad to put up, the only negative being a zip rather than an awning rail, which is of course lots easier. But the frame etc was OK to put up once the main canopy was zipped on.The awning is optional but I think everyone buys one when purchasing new as I have ever only seen one for sale without.

They are a brilliant bit of kit, and have an internal footprint which easily matches most caravans.
I have a pic of ours on my desktop.
