What are you all up to today? - part 3

Should have added that we've had some pictures of Harry & Lady emailed to us this afternoon. Does it look like they're missing us?

Not one little bit! They're in for a big let down when we get home! 

Glad to hear both you and the dogs are having a great time. 

We went to an auction preview today, looking at some old Ercol furniture that I'd spotted in the catalogue. Not that we really need any more furniture, but there were a couple of pieces I've always wanted. My husband was a bit reluctant to go ("where will you put it?" being the cry). But then said he would put the seats down in the car for the sale on Monday. I've got a sort of limit in mind, but it's flexible! I hope no one wants the Love Seat as much as I do! And I'll be on my own; no one to nudge and stop me!

, Not a lot 'again' .Just checked over the " Case" ready for road/track repairs on Mon/Tue,collected 'emulsion sprayer too.Came home early as the guy doing some maintenance on the house ,decided to take down a wall instead of repointing it !! More materials required ,says he !! .Hmmm, Yes ..

Thanks for the comments folks.

.......a little picture of the 'van sitting in state at our storeage facility.

.David..What make awning is it ,as that is what we are looking for to fit on our Pegasus,as have not seen any brackets that fit

How did that happen

It's a Thule 6200, JVB66.  They don't come cheap - supplied and fitted by Rose Awnings.  They travel all over the country fitting these (included in the eye watering price).  We went to the NEC show in February with the specific intent of having a look at these.  We were really keen, and in the end decided to buy a new van as well.  It just didn't feel right to phase it put on a 6 year old van.  

David It may well be worth ringing him up for advice or going to one of the Caravan and Motorhome Shows - I think they are at most of them.

David : Glad you have collected the van, all good for your trip to France now. 

Yes, the van will be ready.  Sadly we are still stuggling with the car.  Funny whinning noise.  Tried wheel bearings, transfer box looks OK, recently had cambelts done and new tyres.  The mechanics are puzzled.  They ae trying rear propshaft next.  Just hope we don't run out of time!

Have to travel to central Bristol early tomorrow, just been told there is a big cycle event on, many roads closed...this happens so many times in Bristol. If they're not cycling they're running..... anyone leaving Baltic Wharf will have fun. 

Hope you all enjoy the new van David and the car can be sorted asap.

JVB, we have this awning on our van. here is the gen from the Carthago website re weight....

 

 

Write your comments here...Nellie i will check my manual tomorrow and see if there is anything mention in it.

Thanks, SELL. Will be interested in what you find.

Write your comments here...nellie have checked the towing section of my handbook and there is no mention anywhere about having to put any mileage on vehicle before you start towing.

Thanks, SELL. Just what I wanted. Perhaps we'll take the van to a CL near to the dealer and when we do the swap we'll be ready for the off, on our Autumn trip.

Busy day yesterday - picked up our new caravan. Continued to fill it with our stuff today and wound the Thule awning out for the first time.

David

Gald the van was ready in time for your trip, David. I'm sure that you'll make good use of the awning.

Write your comments here...you can go online and download the manual it states that before towing a heavy trailer you must do 1000km first

 

Seems to contradict what SELL's just said. Will have to have a look at the manual myself I guess.
