Thanks for the information on the tyres Lenny. I have the "standard" Michelin Agilis campers and they are terrible. I have dropped the pressures but show them anything slightly steep and damp especially if there is a turn involved and they just spin. Traction control cuts in and goes mental. Even with the pressure dropped it is a very hard ride.
That is what was happening with mine and the ride was a boneshaker even with full air suspension.
Ride is now smoother than most cars pure luxury they seem to work well with the air suspension.

Nice evening the sun came out.

Was going to walk into Koln today and have a look at the cathedral, just gone off the idea you have to wear masks in the city. I can't handle that at the moment I get short of breath and panicy. Also a high risk area and me being very weak at the moment I think it's best to steer clear.

Lazyboy a bit disappointed with the tyres yesterday on hills and junctions the Traction kept cutting in. Only did bad a couple of times but dozens of times it cut in very lightly also quite often the light would flash on the dash but couldn't notice it working. Also ABS kept coming on when braking even braking lightly when going slow.
I've had the van 3½ years never had the ABS cut in before. As the Toyo's appear to have a lot more grip than the Michelins I tend to think is was probably down to the road surface.

Going very slow and ABS cutting in seems more of a fault than tyre issues to me and as the traction control is interconnected with the ABS it may be an electronic issue. It may be worth getting a diagnostic meter on it.
Take care and watch those expenses!!

Hi Lenny...something you didn't mention in previous posts was, how you managed to summon medical services on a Sunday (when you fell ill).

Guess you must have phoned an emergency number and they sent a paramedic to your Stellplatz location to assess your medical situation.

Might help others stranded in a foreign country with a medical emergency (not fluent in the local language) to know what the procedures are.

Glad to hear you're on the mend. Good to see the emergency services Mi training instruction is in full swing :giggle:
