What’s an Idahoan?
I lived close to the border with Idaho, but no clue what’s is needed for the bus

I had no idea either, but google says it might be mashed potatoes!

Wow thats a packed bus there @ozziedog and im going to jot that down and add to my own list. im intrigued what an Idahoan is. Its not the potato mix is it ?. And whats a block rocker too ? Its probably something obvious and im going to go Gaz seriously ha..

 

[sparkywig]

And whats an oztent?

Oztent RV3

 

[ozziedog]

Oztent funnily enough is nothing to do with me, I’m more a cheapso gazebo kinda guy
Block rocker is a portable Bluetooth speaker/ music system that’s good for some serious volume if required and good for about seventy hours. It’s also great for jacking into it to charge other devises like phones etc and usually it’s placed a van length or two away from the fire so you can hear tunes but also hear the chit chat around the fire. Also has a radio and a Mike if required to play silly buggers with. Got wheels on it and a pull up handle like a suitcase plus two rounded receptacles on the top that may be suitable for a bottle of Stella or two. Previously sold by electrical specialist Maplins, similar to Tandy / Radio Shack stores. Until they went tits up.
Idahoan, as guessed above is a product sold here that is an instant mash potato thing. I can get three slightly different varieties that I’d put up against anyone’s mash and it would be difficult to tell which is which. Just the job for camping @nd at least twice as good as the U.K. version known as Smash.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,, I’m off to write a new song now called Cheapso Gazebo

The guys that had air beams when I was down near Swanage recently during ‘Storm Antony’ mostly had very minor issues because of their flexibility

I love that part of Dorset - which site was that? Although I think I might know..

 

[james_stan]

Awnings - I have a Raclet, French, also make stuff for French Army, top quality bought s/h from ebay and probably NLA mostly make trailer tents nowadays.

Something farm, if you said it I think I’d remember . Go down a track virtually opposite a petrol station, go past the station then it’s along another track to the right, i love it because of the views of watching the train in the the distance and looking down a long valley from up on the hill at Corfe Castle. Sometimes the castle disappears in a mist which is quite magical

Ozziedog,,,,,, great down there just short of Swanage.

Aye - that's the one. The slope means no caravans except a few at the bottom. Idyllic place and nice old chap that runs it - will have to revisit soon.
