[Alfie159]

Friday seems to be s great day, local campsite booked to do a local test run, better get some gas !

Triplets !

 

[Wullie-d]

do you get gas bottles or will I need to purchase them?

[Alfie159]

You have to purchase this, I’ve got a bottle in blue, local diy place happy to switch me to red and fill up at no extra cost for bottle exchange etc

I’m going from a vw camping Gaz to propane so had to resolve this prior to arranging van collection

 

[Wullie-d]

have a gas tank on my bongo need to purchase bottles until I get tank fitted

 

[Alfie159]

I bet if you ask around friends and family, one will have a bottle to give or lend you, without paper work they’re not very valuable and most people fail to store paperwork safely!

It’ll help with the budget a little

how does it take so long to register a vehicle I thought you could do it online in minutes?

 

[Alfie159]

My V5c was sent via post as most dealers do it this way (probably to keep costs down?) and it took 14 days exactly including weekends !

The document will come to you and you will possibly need to arrange a collection time as handovers should be comprehensive to ensure you understand your vehicle etc

 

[Wullie-d]

thanks for that I hope it comes soon

The paperwork for mine was sent to DVLA last Thursday by Special Delivery and vehicle appeared on their check page as “registered” this morning less than 7 days

do you get gas bottles or will I need to purchase them?

If you buy from Signature in Preston you get a free bottle

 

[Jane And Rog]

Nice avatar @Wullie-d - are you enjoying your new van?

1st weekend last week was my getting to know her time

Off to Dorset today for longer weekend so will have more learning

I love the drive but not the rattling

So much storage space things are moving ! In my vw cupboards were like tetrus! Packed carefully so not rattles

Tea towel under the glass kitchen tops due to rattling

I’m one very happy lady and feel rather smug as the choice was right for my needs

 

[Jane And Rog]

Excellent news! We used those little transparent silicon dots to stop the glass top rattling.

 

[Wullie-d]

loving the van up at kilvrecht campsite perthshire at the moment.ive definitely made the right choice feels like luxury compared to my Mazda bongo.

Has any of the 2019 adria twins have a socket to plug in tv arial mines has only got one for satellite cable?

 

[Jane And Rog]

Not sure, we’re kind of annoyed we’re stuck with an ugly TV stand above the dinette. They tried to remove it but couldn’t tidily.

[Alfie159]

Yes the van seems to be TV read, 2 sockets for aerial

I’m not a tv watcher even at home but given the ugly bracket I have brought one with dvd built in, as grandsons no doubt would enjoy a dvd if weather isn’t great to play outside.

I don’t mind a film now and again so it’ll get light usage and not be an ugly bracket.

 

[Wullie-d]

thanks for that I will need to contact the dealer mines has only got one for satellite

 

[Alfie159]

Here’s a photo
I had extra 3 pins added on purchase

[Wullie-d]

yes that's the same as mine I thought they would have put a TV antenna in I will never use a satellite dish probably not use the TV much either but it would have been handy if it was there.
Thanks very much for your help.

 

[Cheshirecat57]

Has any of the 2019 adria twins have a socket to plug in tv arial mines has only got one for satellite cable?

We have aerial socket next to satellite socket next to 12v socket
We did have an optional aerial fitted but the van was “pre wired” for same

 

[Wullie-d]
