well, we`ve been to Longleat for our first stop, 2 day really, and I heard a click, click from the rear wheel, and thought, blast. Turned out to be a stone in the tyre, new tyres. Then the gas. took me a week to sort out how the cooker worked, der, lid of cooker has to be right back, but all is now sorted, so off we go, first trip from hometown Portsmouth, yes, I know, is Blackpool, to see the lights and grandson in Wigan, then a good round tour of a few pubs the area. something to talk about is I meet this camper in Hayling Island and he had these folding solar panels, 40w, and told me it`s a blessing on the batteries, so I bought 100w and these are amazing, knowing that the van battery can drain if left standing, and checked the voltage that was 12.1, put on the solar panels, and after 1/2hr, went up to 12.7, just to keep it up, so , anyway, less of me, and I`ll let you all know on my treks and what I`ll find. cheers for this site, :cheer:
