Went to Crazy Lane nr Battle on Sat night to test out the Swift. Sat at home as weather was cr*p but as it brightened up we decided to go. Sat Nav tried to take us down a 6' 6" except for access, but ignored her and decided to set to truck mode once on site!
Site was not as I had imagined from the pics on their website, but we were their to test everything out. 1st thing when we arrived Mrs Colpot wanted to see the Grand National. I set everything up, and in My quest for a better picture I decided I might extend the antenna that are on the ariel. mmm...how to get enough height so that I can reach out through the skylight?....I know, I'll pull the bed out and stand on it....
Lesson: The bed is for laying on, not standing on!!!
Anyway I'll fix that later. After we watched our selections a)get fall at the first b)get pulled up half way round, and c)come in 4th (Why didnt you back it each way?)oh:
Oven worked well and eveything else tested ok:thumb:. At bedtime the new design after the stand on test meant a support was made out of the levelling chocks and a bottle of Sterilizing Fluid. A good nights sleep and it was time to test the shower. Boiler worked really well and hot water was very hot! Mrs Colpot was in the shower when it started to splutter and Mrs Colpot emerged in mid shower, conditioner applied, in need of further rinsing. We realised we had run out of water. Not to worry, I had made up a hose for filling up - unfortunately the hose was shorter than the distance to the tap, and the ground round the tap was a tad boggy:Sad:. I had to fill the tank using the trusty 10 litre water carrier and funnel with hose.
Sunday afternoon we spent making good the bed which now looks stronger than ever with various brackets fitted and screws moved.hardhat
Now....where to go for Easter Weekend.........
