There is some nice mood lighting, if you can find the switches ;)

I had to strap her it to stop her pushing buttons;)
I remember thinking these lights are impossible, far to dim, I will have to get some brighter LED's! Dummy. Found the dimmer action on the switch after 2 nights in the virtual dark!

Lovely, I’m pleased for you. Haven’t seen mine since shut down, only an iddybiddy Hobby. CAMC won’t let us into the compound! Enjoy, touch, fiddle and camp in it on your drive, heaven!

Congratulations lovely bit of kit. Sorry I can’t reach the mirror to clean it for you, you will need a small step ladder for them and the windscreen. Does my jealousy show?
????????
It comes with man servant to clean the windscreen ??

Good to see the pic of it being safely 'home'. It makes our Arto look tiny and the w/screen is even bigger than ours.

I hope you are relaxig today after what must have been an exciting day.

I read elsewhere that another Palace, with Smart car garage, was collected from Premium yesterday also.

When you have time please let us have the full story of how it got to Premium - like driven or low-loader, ferry/tunnel route etc.

I assume you are partway through the manual now.

Enjoy all of it after this long wait

Geoff and Basia.

Hi Geoff

Relaxing, you are joking ;) I was up at 5:45 and in the van in my dressing gown with a cup of coffee, jobs done by lunchtime.

Swap the continental plug they had fitted for the coffee machine for a UK spec one that was hiding in a vanity cupboard in the bathroom.

Turned a couple of UK sockets that were 90 deg out.

Investigated wiring for the combination microwave that the factory fit to the EHU 240v as I wanted it on the inverter backed up side but they won't do it because of the amps draw if you use it on oven rather than microwave, anyway dropped a spur out of a kitchen socket and all is good now.

Currently giving the lithium batteries a bit of exercise with the air conditioning running(y)

Not even started reading yet.

So delivery? our van came over on a low loader as they all are at the moment, quite simple really we pay the dealer the dealer pays the factory and it turns up;)

The other van yesterday was dpsuk999 a pre-loved Palace G so that was in stock, another Palace 93LSB going out today.

I know I am a bit of a saddo but little things please me (no keep it clean at the back)

They do a rather neat job with the filler, black on white ;) I only tried it once and I didn't have the skills,

IMG_3286.JPG


The gap is because the lower side skirt lifts up for a bit more storage,

I took the vent off to check we had the Dometic fridge fan we paid for and was well impressed with the install, a fully insulated box and then the back of the fridge completely sealed against it, it's Dometic 10 series, that's why Jen wanted the MORELO over the PhoeniX as she said the Compressor fridge in the PhoeniX looked 5h-t;)

So the aforementioned 10 series fridge, freezer and gas oven on top,

And then back to the important stuff, a nicely laid out services locker with Alde boiler and service point for fluid change, water pump and drain valves all nice and warm next to the boiler.

And for the electricians,

IMG_3291.jpg


In the foreground is the Lader Booster or B2B, then the blue/green label is one of the solar regulators but these are Buttner Power Plus they don't fit MPPT for some reason :unsure: Normal CBE 12v fuse box and then 3 consumer/trip boxes one for main incoming EHU and then one for the purely EHU supplied equipment like battery charger, Combination microwave the fridge and the Alde, then a third box for the supplies that are backed up by the inverter so the Air conditioning is on that and I have moved the microwave over to that as well.

Just seen this thread. Well done Martin and Jen. I hope I get to see it in the "flesh" someday, but don't know where ?.

Looking forward to more photos though.
Don't know where don't know when but yes, there will always be bikes in the garage;)
