Well today I washed front and rear windows, filled the water tank, primed the lav and filled the flush, pilled in a whole load of medications (for me and my carer), plugged into the leccy and switched on the fridge. Her ladyship started filling the food lockers and a few other unnecessary bits of stuff, and tomorrow it's knickers and socks and bits of stuff the we'ed forgotten then early on Thursday its off to Canterbury P&R for the night and then the chunnel on Friday morn, so look out France !!!!

Bon voyage mon 'Oppy.

With our vans being a similar age, be interesting to have a side-by-side comparision if we are in the same meet sometime?

The fully inflated rear tyres seemed too flat so I took it to the weighbridge. Empty with full water and fuel and no people inside. Came to 3420kg with 3500kg max. OMG!!!!! I thought I knew what I was doing after 20 years. This vehicle supposedly has 600kg payload so I was complacent. Looks like I have been overloaded since I got it. I can't face driving with empty fresh water and only half a tank of fuel, so am taking the uprating to 3850kg route which rules out my codriver. I am also removing the Truma aircon at 33kg in favour of Maxxair fan vent at 6kg. The 80cm Omnisat and Alko safe (30kg) are also on the hitlist to go if necessary. Thing is even without those and empty tanks I calculate that I barely make it inside the 3500kg limit with the three of us. The paperwork shows the vehicle weight at 2900kg ex factory but 3025kg ex dealer. Add the weight of the accessories and it balances to 3400kg approx.

Now planted for a couple of nights on a tiny aire in the village of Nuncq Hautecote, a truly quaint place with lot of very fluffy hens wandering about and the bonus of 10a electricary too. First bottle quaffed
Bon Nuit

Started ours, first time start after 4 months. I tried to get in but still quite a way to go with my mobility till that will be possible. Very frustrating!
