The first open is always a worry. Glad all was okay. This lovely weather certainly makes you want to packup and go away for a few days.

I took advantage of the wonderful weather today and opened up the pathfinder. Because of one thing and another we haven't had it opened since late last July. Weather and family issues. It has sat outside on the drive since then. Pleased to say that every thing is good. Motor movers being fitted next week and then it's off at every opportunity. It was a long winter.

Same as us ferrodo, we haven't got ours out of storage yet but due to have motor movers fitted on our Fiesta in a couple of weeks time.
Wondered which movers you're having and from where?

Hi philjohn
I have bought Reich movers from MCEA. Seemed best suited for a FC

Same as today, after falling out of my tree whilst cutting the branches, bruised and battered. I decided today was going to be one of those days. So I opened up my pathfinder, a little bit worrying due to the weather we had, but hay hoe! She's as dry as the day I put her away.
BRING ON THE GOOD WEATHER.

I opened my Challenger up last week, as I need to get the awning out, so I could drop it off at TVS for repair.

The stub awning, or as the Lady at TVS described it "the Duck Bill" needed replacing as a section had shredded, due to the age of the material.

Having packed up, on a freezing cold November Morning, and it having been sat in the garage ever since. I was rather worried. But no issues at all.

Which was a huge relief
