On our trip to France, we set up our first camp at Camping Municipal de Cap de l'Homy, a long-time favorite of our dear friends Linda and Fabian. This was also the first—and one of the last—times we tested our brand-new Vango tailgate tent. After the holidays, we decided to let it go, as it didn't fit our small VW Caddy as well as we'd hoped. No matter how much we adjusted or squeezed, we couldn't eliminate the persistent flapping noises during windy nights. (We go into more detail about the issues in our Vango Tailgate review.) We also brought along our roof box—a decision we quickly regretted. The added height meant we had to stop and turn away from most of the height-restricted parking sites near the beaches. Next time: no roof box (we thought). Let's keep it minimal (we won't). As it turned out, Cap de l'Homy did not become our favorite spot. It was quite crowded and noisy, and so we missed the tranquility we were hoping for.
