Now £135 lighter in my wallet even though I changed it myself

These gold plated door fittings are expensive.

ooops....ouch, DDfrown

I've a list of things I've 'updated/refined/improved/changed' but we have only had two actual 'issues' from new, both resolved the day after purchase by dealer....I stayed locally for a couple of nights 'shakedown'...

1. the Thetford oven we had fitted wouldn't stay lit...a known issue with washer size on the main temp knob....5 min fix.

2. a weeping 'elbow' junction in the water system nr the water pump (oddly, identical issue in previous van)...swapped/tightened elbow junction connector...5 min fix.

since then, like DD's, it's been solid as a rock...

off tomorrow now I can drive again following sign off after eye surgery.smile

Not fixed exactly but this month I ordered a swivel plate for the passenger seat and we now have a swivelling seat. 

Yep, I'd have thought it would be a standard fitting, too.

OH spends a lot of time fixing and refixing the habitation door, having read similar comments on here I don't think he's alone.

Me, I've just changed over the NT sticker (Scottish) so we can park up for free on NT car parks.

I thought NT had changed (are changing) their parking policy...still free to members but you will have to put your membership card jnto a machine and get a ticket like everyone else....??

I think it's not an immediate roll out, but happening....we forst noticed this last year at Burton Bradstock....
