My Chausson Oddesee, is going away on Thursday, she has done quite well and has gained a few miles more with me than she did over 8 years with the previous owner. He has become a Tugger and it really makes more sense for three weeks a year on a site. I will be quite sorry for it but it took a lot of work to make her a bit more usable, draughts cold patches etc., a load of hassle tryng to make up and in the next day take down the bed from cushions and topper. Got fed up and as a windfall came my way I have gone for what is a perfect choice, German and automatic, real automatic at that. All I have to do is decide which dealer is going to drop the most for the model in stock. Just why does it take two weeks to prepare a new van for the road, when they already have been driven to shows and back.
Tomorrow I will carry on cleaning and polishing Gertie inside and out and finishing the final little jobs I never quite finished before. I hope the new owner will get the best of service from Her, She went straight through an MOT today and the tester said how good she was for her age, everything works fine and no smoke or other bad habits. However on emptying he out I was astonished as to how much STUFF was in it loads of it all carried away in a wheel barrow to the house. LOADS AND LOADS of stuff ,a generator , spare diesel in a can, cables tools, food, books, clothing, TV came out and all these must weigh a lot. I did slip up on the last trip as I filled the Gaslow bottles right up when I got home in case we went somewhere. Never mind the next person will get something extra.
Oh I forgot, the Avatar has to go , nobody else can have him, the Banksy on the back.
