Well now back home after leaving Kent early April destination Scotland. During lockdown considered what upgrades could I do on the MH, Lithium and levellers was the plan, I could not justify the cost in the end of the E&P system however upon reading up on the VB semi air as well as talking to users that was for me.
.
The only dealer that had a on the shelf full set was Turriff caravan centre. A phone call later this was in Jan/Feb, set secured, deposit paid to be fitted by them later in the year. Arrived 20th of May left MH with them, they even loaned us a car for free, Of we went to Brother in laws 50 miles away to stay with them.
.
Duly collected MH the following week, superb job, all fitted neat tidy, proper fitters. The VB air system, brilliant gives us a little lift or lower well pleased with both.
.
Where is invisible you may ask, read on its coming. My pair of AGM batteries are not as good as they were even with changing up to a 120amp panel, Advise was sought on here Great I thought, alas not.
.
31st of May I broke my left leg, tib and fib, ouch, 345 x 9mm titanium rod reduction operation mended it, still ouch.
.
Jen drove the MH home returning with our car and help to bring me home, mammoth trip,
.
Well there we are back home again, a couple of weeks now however here’s my point.
.
First trip out today in our car, still ouch, Off we went to local shopping centre Jen driving me as passenger, Arrived at centre, plonked in the wheelchair Jen pushing me around, Has anyone whom have not been propelled in a wheelchair ever considered what it’s like, no would be the answer from most it would be from me I’m ashamed to say…,
.
The centre was not to busy but, what did I notice, the total lack of consideration from the majority of others, how many times did Jen move to the side to allow oncoming people free passage, conclusion, most people seemed to just look through us continuing without a thought as if we were not there, Invisible we were, some came so close it was unnerving, only a few did walk off there path so we did not have to move.
.
Hopefull I will only be in the chair for a while, I can just walk with crutches for a few steps improving daily.
.
lithium and controller will have to wait until leg mended.

. I would expect, or at least hope, that the majority of people would have taken appropriate action before it was needed and so you would not even have noticed those folk, leaving just the ignorant minority that are noticable.
