It was 2 years of splashed feet Embarassed before I read on here to push in the yellow button at the back of the toilet cassette when emptying, such a difference.

Always make sure garage door is close properly before driving off, especially if you don't know what the alarm sounds like when you do. This one happened to us after we drove from dealers, not a clue what the sound was. Luckily the garage was empty and we didn't loose anything, if it happened now we could cover a mile stretch of the M25 Rolling Eyes

when driving a long distance back home after a weekend or a longer holiday set your sat nav to take you back home.
even though you know the way.. if you get diverted due to road works or an accident the sat nav will automatically re ruote you so youwont have to suddenly find a map to figure out where to go

before you buy your first motorhome think, do you really want to spend all your leisure time cramped up in the back of a white van with iffy sanitation a smelly dog and a bad-hair-day wife.
Or, are you more suited to hotel life with spacious dining room, comfortable TV lounge and large swimming pool.

Fit a SOG - Best Motorhome invention ever.

info here: http://www.outdoorbits.com/sog-system-kits-for-motorhomes-p-26.html

(Also, if you are going to consider an engine remap to aid fuel economy - have it done when you first buy the Van not a couple of weeks before you decide to sell it).

or as my son put it when viewing our new purchase for the first time
"why do you want to spend all that money just to go on holidays in a tin box peeing in a cupboard"

he changed his mind when he thought about music festivals Laughing

Anyway have you ever tried driving a hotel with swimming pool round the country

While emptying your toilet cassette, put the screw cap well away from the disposal point lest it fall down the hole. Embarassed


and remove your glasses from your top pocket before bending over the disposal point - burgundy 2008

in case of disaster, always carry a wire coathanger - it can be fashioned into a hook to retrieve the article from a smelly grave
