My first 2 months of owning classic Ford Duetto 1995 (1 Viewer)

Sorry that I've not been back on here to update you of my adventures etc, in my new to me classic.

Had the van checked, all ok except alternator and van battery which needed replacing, also my water pump failed half way through my 2 week tour, that' now done.

I had one night away locally just to make sure it all worked, then a weekend away with grandkids, that also went well, the Quest day tent worked a treat (recommended by folks on here) I had a sleeping pod for them to sleep inside and had all the side attachments on, really pleased with it. It rained heavily but they were as dry as a bone. Glad I went for that option in the end.

Then next I went on a tour, Berks 1 night on a friends drive, little drive for another night on friends farm in Wilts, then off to Malcs daughters in Lyme Regis on her front lawn for a few nights, then 4 nights on a campsite in Lyme, then off to Brixham to see Malcs brother on his front lawn. away for just over 2 weeks. Absolutely loved it.

Just had a day trip to Thetford forest with grandkids too.

Van has driven like a dream, apart from one very step hill which was a struggle, but all in all I am so happy with it, enough room for me and Cooper our collie.

Next trip to see my brother in Norfolk for a weekend.

Definitely glad I did this, caravan has now also been sold to a local couple, so I don't have to worry about that anymore to.

Thank you for your support in my endeavors of getting a campervan xxxx

Well done. Glad you are enjoying it.
Have you thought about joining the AutoSleeper owners club?

I have joined,but not been on there lately. I'm on a Ford Duetto FB group, which have been a brilliant source of help x

Hi Paul, definitely better than a caravan and a tent, although I loved both.
Now watching caravaners and remembering our attempts at getting straight or level, it's such a relief, although in Lyme the levels were so high I needed 2 breeze blocks to get in and out
Hope your well and been able to get away somewhere? Xx
