What did you do to your van today?

Jeff, my original plan was to purchase a newer MH with my pension lump sum (when it arrives). When away over the summer we discussed and made a decision to keep our Arto, as we are still very happy with it, it has all the bells and whistles on it from when we purchased 2015. Most importantly, base vehicle has never let us down, even during long hot drives last summer.

Plan is to throw a few ££'s on it, while front wheels are off, I'll have new pads fitted, same for rear, I'll have the engine bay steam cleaned, check for corrosion and fix if and where applicable, then give it a good going over with Lanoguard. Plan is to hopefully keep it going for four year, as when I hit the 70 mark, I will require a medical as the Arto requires C class licence, if a fail, a re-think required. Ultimately though, why change a MH that we still enjoy.

And stop hammering on about free MOT's :giggle:

I can never understand why some folk are change their motorhomes every couple of years. Wrong build? Perhaps, but then, after making the first mistake, and most of us do, you'd think they'd know what they want a second time around. Someone on here recently was talking about changing 'cos the MOT was almost due. Beggars belief. Still, different folk, different strokes.
I'd change mine if it became decrepit , like it's owner, none repairable. Or, said owner got a sizeable lottery win. And got the 4 wheel off-roader, he's lusted after for years.
I mean no disrespect to anyone. So no one should take offence

Each to their own Mr T. If and we do decide a change is required, I keep my eye on this company which is local to us in France. Buy a LHD, register at our address there. Far more choice and prices normally leaner than UK dealers. Also, numerous good purchases can be sourced through various French sites, similar to ebay and the likes.

Each to their own. Absolutely. My thoughts exactly. I obviously didn’t make that clear.
 
Just in from cranking the heater up a notch as temps dropped to min 3 outside, I did not want the water heater inside to freeze, everything else ok as temp rising now.
 
got to mijas and noticed a water leak had worsened started stripping out to find source got taken to the market on return and police moving everyone on not behind the first barrier it’s a periodic thing there must be over 200 vans here and places for 50 but when they have a market & someone complains police run around saying you must go so you get 100 vans trying to leave and 200 cars trying to come in & park chaos, couple of hours later police gone vans return etc, we moved up the road about 100 yds and i eventually traced the leak sink waste pipe had separated a corrugated pipe onto a smooth pipe but had to remove 2 drawers and butcher a panel the joint was behind ,
