Yes Minxy. Another Expensive show upgrade.

[Fragle]

Going to work on Friday We had not even thought about going to the Lincoln show let alone thought about buying a van. How things change.
I phone Geoff Cox in the afternoon Friday regarding a decal on the drivers door of our Warwick XL and before you can say motorhome fun we are at the show have upsized to a beautiful Adria Coral 670SLT.
Couple of Questions regarding extras we have yet to decide 1 or 2 100w solar? Also At 3.5t at the moment in our previous 2 vans always close to the payload limit is it worth having the dealer do the paperwork to upgrade to 3.8t now before collecting. We were wondering about the weight restrictions in small French villages we have seen, or do you ignore them. How would they know?
Not collecting till early November so still time to spend on more bits. This is the last van upgrade I really mean it this time

If you get the dealer to update, your road tax will be cheaper.
I'd go for 2 solar panels.

As Sue says, but one panel and two batteries would be a better package, but if 2 batteries already 2 panels ?

But we have coped with one panrl and two batteries for six years a lot of that well out of season

£165 I believe. We had 1 x100w solar on the last Adria with 1 Battery and that seemed ok Just thinking would that be enough to keep 2 batteries charged

Only 1x100 atm with 1 battery

We have 2 batteries, 1panel.
Would get the dealer to uprate before you pick up.
Not everyone likes the wind out canopy but do.
Spare toilet cassette useful.

You have no idea SHMBO will love that
