I never ever thought this day would come but it has.
After years and years on Motorhome Fun my views on certain matters are known by a few of you.
On one particular topic I have been constant at all times.
Generators.
Today, another sun drenched one as usual here in God's own land, it was generator day.
This beauty was going into the Hymer.
Sadly it was working perfectly
except for minor blips such as it wouldn't run if started on the remote button, you couldn't switch it off remotely and, slightly more incoveniently, it didn't produce anything over 120 volts (it is 220 volt model).
A couple of phone calls and an internet search revealed that there was considerable work to be done before it would cook pies.
By chance Geordie Billy knows of a man back in Blighty who has the skills and knowledge to do this work and who would turn this pile of useless metal into a valuable generator of electricity.
He wanted to take the Onan off my hands and return it to Blighty.
In exchange he offered...
A RED (RED) HONDA (HONDA) 1KW
As a sweetener to help the deal go through Billy added value to his offer...
The humiliation of becoming an Honda owner is slightly off set by the knowledge that it is going to be Pie Cooking Night tonight and a certain beautiful Froggy Princess will be quite pleased to have a sweet little Kipor 750 watt
to put in Max.
