... A nice bunch of what, I shan't say...
Motorhomers, obviously..
Anyway, after various (smaller) campers in the past, I seem to have gone 'all in' with a 27' N&B... There's often just myself, the other half and my elderly Dogue de Bordeaux.. Occasionally though I have the honour of being able to take my 4yo son, and very rarely, my other half's 16yo boy may hide his embarrassment & disdain, and come along also...
Am generally a 'wild camper' by nature, preferring 360 degree countryside to playing sardines with other campers..
Having said that, am happy to plot up somewhere with the right atmosphere and facilities when I come across them, water slides for the kids, Jacuzzis for my old bones..
Any recommendations welcome, both near and far..
Also, I do have a plethora of questions for my more experienced new friends.... Am not sure if here is the right place to ask, or if covered to death elsewhere before, but any advice or points in right direction much welcomed...
1. My 4t '98 Ducato Maxi 2.5d (non turbo) is economical, but terrible uphill.. Is there anyone who can upgrade me to maybe 2.8jtd?
2. Am looking to install air-suspension on my 3 axles, anyone recommend a good system, preferably with some auto-levelling?
3. My front d/s window has condensation, I read the double glazing unit might have 'plugs' to remove & dry void out, where do I find them, how do I remove window?
4. Recommended service & large vehicle mechanics in Kent?
5. Am also contemplating a vinyl wrap, any do's/don'ts, and would the CC welcome a 27' leopard?
Many thanks in advance, am looking forwards to many happy holidays, and friendships also... Have just returned from South of France, was horrified to get charged €93.80 for 2 or 3 hours on A16 South, apparently I am a 'classe 4'.. Eeek.. ( ~ hence my need for more uphill power while avoiding motorways...)
Also €40 each way to cross bridge to
Ille de Ré... :/ ~
6. would more power mean I could have my GTW re-calculated? (as currently too underpowered to tow a Fiat 500 etc..)
Thanks again, 16' scorpion alloys already on order.. Still looking for a lpg Genny..
Best regards, Steve & family...
