Now im worried in case we cant get it in the drive lol couldnt sleep thinking about all the things that could go wrong.how silly it seems in the morning everything gets magnified in the night . lol.

Maybe you are too busy playing with the van, but if you read this, hope all is well with it. We slept in ours on the driveway the 1st night as we were so excited.

May your roads be unexplored and your travels be discoveries. You will be sorry for not having chosen one sooner.

Have fun and keep the rubber thingys on the ground.

PS: Hiya Sixwheels! How's life treating you?

its always the same 1st, 2nd, 3rd. you just cant sleep until you have your new baby home. we are on our 2nd camper and we had the same thing.

mind you we have had 3 weekends away so far ant it still feels the same as the first trip.

Well just back had 3 lovely nights in our  motorhome...everything worked ok ..except one blind refused to budge for us.and top blind wouldnt stay closed.. lol.however been on to Barrons and just to take it down and get them fixed so thats ok with us.we went to musslebourgh for 2 night and joined in with the motor caravan club then were going home but went to Newcastleton .. for a night didnt want to come home.hopefully we are away again mid week till sunday.it was lovely to drive into park and just sit... we didnt know what to do ..no water to fetch! and containers to put out. just made the coffee and sat there lol it is a bit easier just the electric hookup to put on lol.We had a go putting up our freestanding awning this afternoon I suppose it will be ok after the first few times.... It was nice and warm didnt feel the cold and the dogs were fine got harnesses to put on them for travelling didnt fancy one of them landing on the back of my head.

 

Hi Corrie, Glad to hear you had a good first time out with your new van.

Did you join the motorcaravan club? We have been members for 17 years and we have lots of good friends and we've had many good memories of rallies and holidays with them.

 LOL  thats why I couldnt sleep thinking the van wouldnt go down the side of the house but it has about 8" each side so its ok its the length its 7.3 mtrs so we have to mount the pavement and the grass accross the road to get out and hold up the traffic but its ok lol. Yes we have joined the motorcaravan club the scottish section.. so never know might meet up with you sometime.The one at the weekend was amazing all the motorhomes in one place .everyone was really nice we just arrived non members and uninvited but were made very welcome.They have lots of overnight stops you can use and other benifits .
