Sliding doors both sides Ttda, but just the one electric step on the nearside so a collapsible small step required. We had both open on Thursday to let the breeze blow through. Had a bike rack fitted as well.

A couple of niggles so it will have to go in for an hour or so but we'll probably get a Fiamma canopy fitted soon. Everything's been a bit rushed

Sounds like you are well organised to me👍 Good having four seats as well, nice to take MIL in comfort for a day out, your own cafe and loo.

TW, yes the bike rack is bolted on the back. It's a Thule one.

Salesman said we couldn't fit one but as their other branch had photos of a recently sold 2022 model with said bike rack on the back he had to eat humble pie. Looking at it we're pretty sure it won't impinge on either the spare wheel or the numberplate as they had bikes on it to test it before we picked it up. We'll just need to position first bike with handlebars away from wheel.

It is metal top.

WN, we were also told the dealer couldn’t fit a bike rack and it would need to be done as part of the factory build for a princely sum so we decided not to bother. You will have a higher roof line and probably taller doors than we had in view of it being the higher H2. That might make fitting a bike rack simpler.

We had to duck when using the side doors because the original roof level of the H1 restricted headroom at entry/exit. We were used to our previous H2 vans and that lower doorway trim didn’t half hurt!

Good to hear that you both slept well in the M/H, WN. Just remembered which side has the electric step when exiting the van! wink

Fine and warm again today, although there was a cool breeze at times. More weeding, so have half a dozen have to go to the tip, and hoovered out the car. Dental appointment early in the morning for me. OH has suffered a bit with aches and pains since the Covid injection but is much better today.

WN, take a photo of how you load your bikes on back. If you are anything like us, we forget which goes in where.

We have different photos for different bike combo’s, MTB handlebars are a lot wider than Road bike drops, so there’s occasionally a bit of muttered cursing if it’s a combo we haven’t used for a while. 2x road bikes with drops is a doddle, anything else is a bit of a puzzle. Plus, are we using Fiamma on back of MH, or Thule on back of Jeep🤔🤭😡🤣

It’s ‘just’ a Kit Car. Not the prettiest in my opinion. Morgans are the real deal, expensive and have a proper car build heritage. This is a Lomax first fabricated not far from us in Gainsborough.

We have had a very enjoyable weekend as it was OH's birthday. We had a lovely celebratory lunch at The Village Inn in West Runton on Saturday. We caught the bus there and back so that OH could have a birthday pint. Yesterday our eldest son and family came over for the day which was great. We ended the day with a fish and chip supper before they left for home. It looks as though it is going to be a hot one today

Your new MH looks great WN. So glad your first outing was a success. Hope you have many more to come.

Agree with you mickysf re car as we used to live in Malvern and in 2019 friends of ours gave us tickets for a tour around the Morgan factory as we were staying at Broadway club site a very interesting tour around the factory, my mum used to live about 800 metres from there.

WN hope all goes well with your new MH and have no problems with it as we met somebody at Obterre the other week and we know him from living and working in Malvern and he had his from new late this January and has had nothing but problems with it they had just done a trip around northern Spain and come back to Obterre as they have an old caravan in storage there and said that electric door connector was playing up and it would not lock either and kept beeping and flashing on the dashboard drove them mad so he ended up with a fiat dealer the other side of Tours to get it fixed as nobody else would touch it as a English reg vehicle but also had other faults as well not a happy chappie.

Had the wild boar in field last night so a few patches of soil and stone have been moved and OH is hoping to mow today normally at this time of year the ground would be rock hard but with all this rain it is a lot softer so hope we can get some sun on it to dry out again.
