hi guys
as newbies let me tell you all about our first three day of our adventures.
the van was at last finished i still have installed, the new venetian blinds and the bose sound system, all the other luxuries were done.
i fitted two new steers as the tyres were 9 years old and thought a blown steer could be a problem
ok here we go
we arrive at early arrive stop in dover to find it closed down but you can still stay there but dont park in the bus area as security asks you to move on.
then we got on the ferry to discover the bike rack had fallen down and jamed between the towbar and the car that i am "a" framing luckily no damage to the car or brike rack but i had to spend some time pulling it apart.
then into france where i have given up trying the camping aires as having 35 foot m/h with car is a bit hard to explore .
while we motoring along we heard a loud bang
we stopped and checked but find no faults or damage anywhere.
a day and a half later we discovered the cause of the noise, it was a blown inside rear tyre.
Now the fun starts, the tyre wrench did not fit the wheel nuts so i had to use the emergency service to help...... 595 euro later:shout::Angry:
so now i am going to find somewhere near the spainish border and pull up for a week and relax. Ha ha what else could possibly go wrong. Keep you all posted with our adventures.
ps left blinds behind at the dealers
