1st doings in the Tintent!

Post by Neild » Sun Aug 22, 2010 8:20 pm

Day 1

Well, made it to sunny Fordingbridge in one piece! Van was really stable at 65 on the motorway with only mild feelings, on the slow and bumpy A roads it was less pleasant!. We'll drop into Winchester on the way home so they can take it all for a spin.

We've joins Countywide and his family and boy did we need him!

He sorted our water issues, looks like a carp filter was to blame for some blockage of flow, taken it out and now we are sorted. Full electric and waste water set up so it's been pretty straight forward.

Not too sure about tonights impending gale force winds and torrential rain but it's better than a tent!

I've had to come outside and sit on the boot lid as it's too warm! Some people hey? Never happy!!!

Wish I had as much Holiday as you do! Must be 5 weeks already :rasp:

Glad the van is ok so far. Missus looked at a few on the motorway services when we parked up for a coffee etc.

Usual comments. Like, "There are some big un's"

But I think she is coming round. Sort of. :surprise:

A couple of 12 ton long recovery straps slung over the roof and four ground anchors should see you right :thumbright:
