3 Thank You's in 1 Weekend

This story happened on: 02/03/2014

Arrived at Ashridge Farm for another weekend break (we were there 3 weeks before) During the last visit, I bought the new unlimited internet access for £25 and sat down with my i- pad to catch up with the news. Could not remember the password but a quick visit to the warden who called the provider soon resolved that (1st thank you)

Whilst in the office a recent arrival came in asking if the warden sold an electric hook up cable as their new caravan did not have one. Wardens unable to assist, but I had a spare which they returned to me on Sunday with a nice bottle of wine (2nd thank you)

The rest of the weekend was uneventful until I hooked up to leave. I tried in vain for over 20 minutes to connect the 13 pin plug socket to my car and was becoming more stressed by the minute. I was on the verge of calling out The RAC but sought out the warden first. He came over, took a quick look and returned with a green “gadget” to re-align the socket. Quick as a flash, the job was done and we were ready to leave (3rd big thank you)

2 days later, my own green “gadget” arrived in the post via Amazon for £4.99. I strongly recommend that all members get their own and perhaps the club to supply one to all sites as I understand this is quite a common problem.

Can’t wait for the next trip away with my new password firmly in my mind and gadget to hand……

We spent over two hrs on A1 when 13pin plug did the same the green gadget should be standard on all vans with 13pin plugs

You need to search on Google for 13 pin reallignment and it should take you to the Amazon supplier although I think most decent caravan shops would sell this tool.
