Our first camping weekend
As absolute camper newcomers, we were allowed to pick up our brand new Sunlight T68 Adventure Edition at the end of August. Shortly thereafter, of course, the part also wanted to be inaugurated, which is why we planned a first weekend. Firstly, to enjoy the new feeling, but certainly also to find out what equipment is still missing in our Adventure Liner. We were always told that less is more... we stuck to that when we made our first purchase. And so we set off for the first time... not too far... it's not (yet) about driving, but about camping and staying overnight.
The destination was Sisikon on the beautiful Lake Lucerne... of course our Junior Nick (still 12 at the time) and our furry friend Balya were there. We were particularly curious to see how our Balya made friends with the camper and travelling. We already know that our junior likes to be there... he really enjoyed the "test camping" and was also actively involved in the evaluation process.
Let's go on our first mini trip!

Day 1
The first challenge: safely storing and lashing all the material... and then checking how heavy we are.
Then everything worked out... even the Dyson found a place... as did the fire extinguisher, cable drum, tools... and of course all the camping equipment for 3.
Inside, Liliane has furnished everything functionally, comfortably and practically.

Our destination for the weekend: Sisikon, Camping Bucheli. The reservation worked great, the reception on site was also warm and friendly. We got a pitch very close to the lake... with very friendly Dutch neighbors.

One of our juniors' wishes: he wanted to see the Federal Charter, which formed the basis for the Confederation at the time. We went to Schwyz by public transport (train station right next to the campsite). After a short walk we reached the Bundesbriefmuseum. Balya had to wait outside... so Nick and I went to the museum while Liliane waited in the cafeteria with Balya.
If you are interested in Swiss history, you are absolutely right here. The exhibition is interesting and varied.

After the Bundesbrief Museum we strolled through beautiful, picturesque Schwyz and treated ourselves to a small snack on a sunny terrace.
With a little delay, a missed train but in a good mood we went back to the campsite.
First finding: camping slows things down and lets you take everything a little more relaxed.

So that Balya also gets her money's worth, I explored the area with her. Right at the campsite there is both the opportunity for a walk and signposted hiking trails.

Day 3
Our first weekend as a camper is already over... we slept wonderfully, ate well and had a very comfortable time. The weekend almost felt like a week's vacation... just great!
Findings: Balya also loves camping and feels good, Nick likes it a lot too... and we are enthusiastic... about the camping itself, the freedom and of course the special feeling.
In terms of equipment, it turned out that we have everything, apart from a few small things. But there are still a few upgrades: Rear supports to stabilize the vehicle a little better when it's stationary, and as a technology nerd, I naturally also wanted solar, LiPo and a 230V booster (argument: then we can also make coffee in traffic jams. ..). Also an LED strip over the entire length of the store. As soon as we got home we started googling and shopping.
Conclusion: camping (glamping?) grabbed us... we are already looking forward to all the adventures and encounters that are waiting for us out there.
