Set off yesterday on our winter trip making our way to the tunnel ….. its true they come in 3s


1 st fault The engine warning light came on going up hills it was a fault with the Turbo wastegate pivot pin ( cleaned and lubricated ) ok now .


2nd fault head light going off bad connection ( replaced connectors ) ok now

3rd fault habitation water pump leaking ( replaced pump ) ok now



Now at Blackhorse farm CC Site waiting to catch the tunnel in the morning hope that’s all the bad luck gone . lol


Will post any details of any new aires we find we won’t have internet for a while but will also try to post some pics .

We are staying on the aire at Falesia they are cutting loads of branches off the trees so you should get a Sat signal from any pitch now. ( no shade :LOL: )

Watch out for sap dropping !!
If you do get zapped raw alcohol gets the crap off real easy :)
We have found a lot of camp site shops in Spain and Portugal sell little bottles of it ( so I guess they are aware of the problem and the answer :) )

The weather is still hot but the mosquitoes are out in force . We had the chance to go to a new aire on the N270 near Messines its not open yet as it is still under construction.

Motorhome point is done but they are still doing toilets showers and pitches should be ok when its finished .
