It's passed wav

I started the day looking at the fuel gauge in the RED although the night before in my drive it had read a quarter full. the going work traffic was hellish although we only had 10 miles to go but took an hour all the way reading empty of fuel Confused any way Confused got there OK.

Waited while all sorts of cars turn up on low load transporters and a guy really giving them the big check over.

My girls arrived and were very pleasant at all times and first came into the bus with us to do the paperwork.

The measurement were taken and it passed just with mine being a 95 inch body.

This is a very stressful procedure and glad I hadn't bought a 100 inch body vehicle which was our original plan.

now we wait for the paperwork to arrive in the post within the next few days apparently.

We then went onto Tesco's and put £171 of petrol in Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

I intend to make many new Motorhoming friends as alway been an active member at caravan meets but feel that many venues will no longer suit us size wise.

From the near side corner of the bumper to the offside of it 95 inches ish with them adding 5 inches for the awning I left on.

Don't think they saw the nearside little 2ft awning which protrudes out about 1.5 inches as it was very cramped the dairy where we all were.

This is not a procedure i would like to do everyday as it to me seems all a bit hit and miss and if there had have been any problem sure the older girl could have been a stricter and anything wider on the body could well have been scrutinised more im sure.

I trust you had one of their "money off fuel" coupons Laughing Laughing

We did that once at Safeway, 20p off a litre, so we took an RV and several jerry cans...the pump cut off at £100 Rolling Eyes

Great news John....glad you came through unscathed!

BTW....you have PM.
