Welcome aboard. Bit unfair if the dog doesn’t know what’s happening. Will you show him how to use a tin opener if he’s home alone ?

So we picked up the MH last night and the family selling were so helpful. We then had a 65 mile journey home down the M1 and M25. Approaching the M25, youngest (5) says she feels sick. They were both watching a film on the iPad. I told her to switch off the iPad and look for the moon out of the window. A couple of miles onto the M25, she's still feeling sick, saying I'm driving too fast. (65mph). I slowed down to around 50. One mile before our junction, eldest (7) screams "SHE'S BEEN SICK!!!!"
So that's the pristine interior of the MH well and truly christened
We got home about 11.30pm, and I was up until 3am cleaning the inside. I haven't been able to open it up today to check on the results of my efforts.

Don’t let this mishap worry you. Children can grow out of motion sickness problems and I’m sure there are measures you can take to help her. You’ll have to Google. I suspect it may not have helped that she was “SO excited“, it was dark, she was using the iPad and you had been to the MacDonalds drive thru!
Actually, if you had been to the McDonalds drive thru you might be missing the roof of your new motorhome, scraped off by the height restriction barrier.
So you see ... things could be much worse.

Welcome to fun Amanda. Just a heads up ..Do you realise you are using up your 5 free posts by saying Hello to a 10month old thread? I'm sure you will have Qs along the way you need answered. The £15 subscription is well worth it for when you run out of free posts.

Haha! Well, we managed a handful of weekends away, a week down in Lyme Regis and plenty of day trips last year, sussing out how it all works.
It turned out our on board charger hadn’t worked since we bought the van, so that’s opened up a can o’worms! New Victron mains charger fitted and a Victron B2B just arrived yesterday. Air suspension installed in November together with a tow bar for the new bike rack...... £££££
Oh, and the Poynting Puck 4g and Ballade TV aerials both arrived last week. Did I mention the 9” touch screen Apple Carplay stereo I had installed? Haven’t fitted the reversing camera yet...
I’ve spent the afternoon cleaning the beast today, and I’ve got a busy couple of weeks ahead fitting my new bits.
We might even go away somewhere in it!!!

Sounds as if you're getting into the swing of being a motorhomer, at least now you will have a bit more freedom to enjoy it.

Oh my, yes you really have taken to it ! I get the bit about the bike rack as that is all I have ever used my tow ball for and this past year everybody is well familiar with spending out and longing to “go away somewhere in it” !! Happy travels !
