Travels with Tushka

[canorman]

Well off to have my potential first motorhome checked out today before I part with the £18,500.00. So by the end of the day I may be the owner of 2002 Autosleeper Lancashire. Supposed to have less than 17000 on the clock and it does look legitimate to me. Seems pretty well equipped - but I guess I'll be trawling through the site to find out about 12v/240v microwaves (Wavebox?), Solar panels, lightweight mopeds, Gas bottles on the continent. I've sold up and move out of my home of the last 18 years on 4th November -- pretty much got rid of everything -- local charity shop has looked like my house for the last couple of months! Small rented storage for the few "can't part with" things - generally quite liberating. Planning to try trips around UK through to Christmas to get used to things before trying a run down through France/Spain/Portugal in the new year.

Of course, the vehicle examination may find it is the welded remains of three different motorhomes and I'll be back to square one.

Bought it!

OK, so now I'm a genuine newbie motorhomer. All checked out ok except for slight noise from one wheel bearing.

Check for recall on gearbox drain on that age - there should be a modification whereby the drain is extended and routed behind the gearbox.

If not modified, the gearbox will fill with water, resulting in difficulty engaging 1st/2nd (stiff or clunky) and a slight flickering on the speedo.
