Off to complete the handover of my new toy. So much to learn, learn, so much time.

It will stay at the dealers until Sunday when I can get a lift over and not stuck with two vehicles the dealers.

Good idea not to be rushed, don't leave till you are sure everything is working as it should be. Here is a page from Link Removed that will help (y)

You have better willpower than me. If I was paying for it today then I would be expecting to sleep in it tonight. I get too excited to wait. :)

Happy motorhoming when you pick it up.

South Hereford Motorcaravan Centre.

So far I can't fault the service. Low pressure salesmen, questions answered attention to detail and plenty of time to answer my endless questions.

Willpower varies, I can look at a cream bun for upto 10 seconds before stuffing it into my face :)

Collected today and taken for a drive.

All went well, motorway driving pretty straightforward, ventured on to A roads where a lot more attention to width was required and rounded off the experience by venturing into the town centre, survived!

Then sat in it for a couple of hours, pressing buttons and twisting knobs.

Left with about three things that will require some manual reading.

Biggest issue! I need a can of WD40 to lube up all external locker locks.

Noooo.....dont use WD40.
It makes things move easily but soon dries out leaving things worse....it has no lubricating properties once dry.
Go to a good old fashioned ironmongers and buy a small 'puffer' bottle of graphite powder.
Point the nozzle in the lock, give it a quick puff and work the key to distribute the powder....it will last for years.
If you cant get graphite powder then use a silicon spray.....but never WD40
