Motorhome projects

Arrived home from an extended stay in Portugal, Spain, France, etc. at the beginning of last month feeling smug as the van had performed flawlessly for the whole time.  Went to open the habitation door and there was a little ping and tinkle as something dropped inside.  Long story short.  A pin had broken in the lock handle and full replacement was the only option.  Now £135 lighter in my wallet even though I changed it myself .

So what have you had to fix this month?

We had a similar failure if not exactly the same one on our habitation door lock. The tiniest of a 'pin' snapped off which meant the door could not be opened from the outside although the rest of the operations all worked well. Luckily the mechanism was replaced FOC by the dealer as it was only a few months old. Dealer told us it was not an uncommon occurance.

He'll be using the radar scanner.

I'm not sure that the NT have made public but I understand that the main reason for the new machine is that members were obtaining additional car stickers then hand them to friends and family who were not members so they could park for free.  Hopefully by having to scan your membership card for free parking the misuse will reduce and more parking will be available for bonafide members.

The stickers are/were very each to obtain at a NT office. One year we had 3 - one in each vehicle. 

Perhaps I should have put them on eBay.
