Hello campers,just joined what looks to be a busy forum. I brought my first mh about 6 months ago and its been parked ever since,about 3 weeks ago I quit my job sold or gave away all my possessions and have been living in my mh ever since. I'm slowly getting it ship shape and ready for the road and looking forward to a good read on here and hopefully some good advice. I've also invested in a security system but as he's only 11 weeks old it might be some time till hes up for the job! Sending my mh in to get solar fitted next week and then it should be independent enough to hit the road,I'm intending to do the UK and look to southern EU for next winter. Can't wait to get on the road with my little wingman and see the sights but most of all just to be free,happy camping everyone!

Hi and welcome to FUN, the best forum on the net for all your motorhome questions, life and the universe but be very careful as this site is also additive.

Hi welcome. What "type" of alarm is it?

He's a rottweiler crossed with a mastiff and proving his worth already,he's just been at the door barking at a very dodgy looking bee that was sizing up the mh...well done boy!

Still early days for him but I'm just starting to socialise him with some of the local mutts so I expect him to be friendly when he's older.

Woops hit the button before I'd replied Eve,did you do the whole of NZ by mh?

 

[Eve]

No Kiwi been 3 times,
Month in M/H the first time,plus tenting,just two weeks the second time,last time family not keen for me to go on my own.

So expensive,and I had a tramp type one,had always intended to do the figure of eight in Australia ,then on to N/Z ,but left it too late!!!!!

The last visit was on the South Island ,glad I did Arthur's pass by train,this time. My daughter tells me there is snow already on the mountains,getting colder earlier.

I don,t think pictures capture the beauty of NZ.

I'm from the south (Dunedin) and I'm probably biased but its deffo the best part of the country especially the west coast.I was last there 5 years ago and I really appreciated it a lot more after a long absence,I guess you just take it all for granted growing up there. One thing I noticed was people leaving vehicles running while they popped into a shop,funny how you forget little things like that.

 

[Eve]

Never got that far down,but the Butterfly place has been recommended to me there ,the thought of midges like Scotland put me off a bit.
Will get there eventually Milford Sound as well

Can't say I've heard of the butterfly place,no midges down south really but the west coast is a different matter...

I could find no reference to it , a NZ lady told me about it,if I ever manage to get that far down,which I will one day.

 

[DomingoDeSantaClara]

I was talking to a friend in NZ a couple of days ago,apparently there's a butterflyarium (not sure if that's a word) at the Otago museum that you can walk thru,she said some of them are really beautiful and land on people as they walk thru.
