Went down to Hayes Motorhomes in Walsall today to order our new motorhome, a Pilote Pacific P650GJ, to be collected 1 March 2017. How are we going to get through the next 5 months? Much excitement in the Diggerdi household, although hubby doesn't really show excitement, but I know he is.
Because I'm an impatient mare, I'm going shopping tomorrow for a few essentials - bedding & kitchen equipment mainly. Don't want to buy too much as we're going to the NEC in October and I'm sure there will be some bargains there.
As this is our first motorhome (apart from disastrously hiring one for 2 weeks in Scotland, which I've documented elsewhere), I will have lots of questions, most of them possibly after we have taken delivery.
We've taken the optiion of having a second leisure battery and solar panel. Hubby says he doesn't want to wild camp, but I'm sure he'll change his mind, just for the odd night or two. Anyway, the solar panel will keep the batteries charged when we're not using it.
And to top it all off, having reduced my working week to 4 days this year, next year will be reduced further to 3 days. Home from work on a Wednesday, and off in the van for 4 days. Bliss
