We are very new to this and have had a steep learning curve in 5 weeks ownership of a 7 year old Bentley Motorhome. We bought it with a view to preserving Sylvia's sanity through an expected winter of shielding and as the only hope of seeing young grand-children in Italy for the foreseeable future. The latter is on hold until various Governments and travel insurers say when we can go.
6 CL sites visited so far in Cotswolds, near Oxford, Suffolk, Hertfordshire, Sheffield and Derbyshire, all interesting, most lovely with long views. We are getting to know some tricks, eg when booking ask where the water is as it may be too far from your pitch for even 2 hoses.
In one I had to carry 200 yards and we don't have space for an Aquaroll. Is there a collapsible water container with wheels that needs minimal storage space?
We have had some tecchy faults and needed the supplier to sort these and one I am trying to fix myself......intermittent shut down of the 12volt system. As a retired Electronics Engineer I know what to look for....tests ongoing.
Odd that on a Gaslow refillable LPG cylinder the gauge is easily viewable from the side and shows near empty, but a mirror allows view of the top and that shows full! I have asked in the beginners section for advice on choice of remote gauge.
It does take a while to get used to the small space when we have been blessed by big houses....we now know how to avoid rows, usually!
