Buffy in hospital

Buffy is poorly and in hospital, a relay overheated and welded itself to the distribution unit (or what ever its called ) so a new one is required, they have source one but it will days a few days to arrive and Ian (service manager) is booked solid for days so will got her back for while so no trips for the foreseeable 

What was the relay for Bob?

Suggard if I know Ken, but under the drivers seat is a fuseboard and 5 relays one of which must have got very hot and fused itself to the board and needs replacing, but the whole board is a mess with melted wires and blown fuses.

I know you like Buffy, and have had good times away, but is it time to start casting your glances in a new direction ?
Incidentally, I discovered my dad was in the RAF, and I think the chap stood next to him, was one of three brothers, and he is in the uniform of a petty officer in the fleet air arm, the badge on his arm would signify his specialty training, all discovered thanks to your suggestion, so cheers Bob.

Glad to have helped in my small way Debbie and so pleased you have some info as well, as for Buffy you are right as Barb was very unsure on our last outing at Shell Island, she  (we) loved the place but Barb was very nervous and unsure of herself when getting out/in the M/H and the stress showed on her face.

She is trying very hard to talk me around to a caravan but I want a smaller M/H but when shove comes to push I will have to think of her needs and not my desires, so watch this space, also running two large Merc vehicles is getting very expensive with the fuel costs, then the servicing, mot's and the deprecation so we are talking and thinking of the best solution for both of us.

Sorry to hear about Buffy Bob.

Don't think I could go back to caravanning when I think of arriving on site and having to start setting it up and repeatedly fetching water.

What about a motorhome on an Alco chassis ?

We hope it's sorted soon Bob its a bugger when you can't get away.

Hia

if you get a caravan Bob and Barb you wont be able to stay on the aires when you go over the waters

and think of all the hitching up and setting up and checks before you set off

but whatever you decide ENJOY

Caravans are wonderfull things, but not for motorhomers, nooonoooonoo !!

Hia

Bob you can always look on the mischievous side
And when on site early in the morning roll your water barrel on the gravel past us MotorHomes 
They make a right din when rolled full 

Oooooh  Polly you are naughty !!!!

Polly what do you know that I don't, has Barb been messaging you 

Hia

No messages of Barb but experience

On a site and on a Sunday morning was rudely awakened by Tuggers taking their grey water for a walk along the gravel as they were preparing to go

Polly can remedy that - site all the tuggers right next to waste water dump and the elsan point.

His

But Joyce what will they do for fun 

Have a laugh at the motorhomers peeking through the curtains cursing the tugga's 

Yippee, Buffy is out of hospital and all perky and working well but another couple of hundred pound out of pocket 

Good, did they find what caused it?

They never said Ken, mentioned if I had overloaded the system but I assured them I had not, think by now I know what I can run and cannot and what power load I am using.

Look at post being put on shortly

never a more true word spoken.:)

Hia

I belonged to tuggas in my last life 
So no more to be said by me 

I hope your all not taking my name in vain 

Just a bit of harmless leg pulling Mike.

First caravan I tugged was a 12 foot Monza - then caravans grew in size and my last caravan was a twenty something twin axle Conqueror. Only changed to a motorhome because I took my parents on holiday and it was easier than a caravan for my Mother, who was disabled.

I have a twin axle Adria now which my daughter tows and uses.
