A Bit
My eldest sister and brother in law have decided to dip their toes in the MH fraternity and purchased a 2004 Autocruise to see if they like it.

They picked the Starfire up the other day and have been getting their heads around the various bits and bobs prior to a first outing this weekend, as part of this he was looking at the best way to fill the fresh water and had the lid of the water tank unscrewed as the dealer said that if he didn't have the correct fitting for the tank filler this would be an option (we did find the tank filler connection in a drawer after) he was about to take the drain plug out of the tank to empty it (as it had about half a tank of water still in it when he collected it, I assume as part of the dealers checks) when he noticed something small in the tank when he pulled it out it turned out to be a small dead fish about the size of a whitebait, it had been dead for a while by the look of it though it still had it's skin intact.

How on earths name it got in there I have no idea especially as you need to use an adaptor on the fill point, luckily I had some puriclean in my van so we were able to fully cleanse the fresh water system prior to his first trip

Feel like an old timer
I was having trouble with our shallow well a few years back, we had been drinking the water and it was ok, however upon pulling the hose up with the pump on the end I found a rather dead frog jammed into the filter. :sick:

I really can't see the point of going to all that trouble. You're allowed to take up to 20kg of fish into the EU anyway.::bigsmile:
