i left Lincolnshire yesterday and drove down to Taunton and Eddie Van Bitz to have the growler system fitted, after the long motorway drive i arrived at his campsite ,the site has a warden and the guy showed me to my pitch.The site is well presented ,the toilet blocks are well kept and it has a relaxed atmosphere about the place ,the pitches are hard standing and level.
So it was my oportunity to start playing with my new toy ,i manoevered onto my pitch and began rummaging around for my power cable which i then used to hook up to the electrical point ,once that was done,i got out the remote and pressed the button for the auto levelling system ,this worked a treat,i followed up with filling the tanks, and this lead on to tackling the control panel and the Alde heating system after fishing out the kettle and the panic at not being able to track down the box of Yorkshire tea bags ,subsided upon their being discovered at the bottom of a box,however we forgot to pack a spoon,screwdrivers have their uses in moments like that.
Its all been one big exciting learning curve ,the list of things that are required grows by the minute,guess the traders at the Peterborough show will be seeing me.
Ill be off to eddies workshop shortly,oh yes the awning with the 220v motor is a good idea,the thing worked at treat(y)

She's a Cracker, mine is a year old now and on our first trip out we didn't have a cork screw, now for a funster THAT is one of the Deadly Sins.

Have Fun, hope you have some ear plugs when he demonstrates the Growler. (y)

I noticed that. I never realised they lifted the van so high before. You'd have to be on solid ground or they'd stick in the ground wouldn't they ?
Enjoy your first break in your lovely new van.
