  1. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

    Yes, the chap in charge of the repair/ write off at Halo is waiting for a reply from Goldschmidt about how to shore up so it doesn't happen again. Was going at about 50. But the presence of cones there indicate others had had an issue. Know Stonehenge well!
  2. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

    I didn't know that, thank you.
  3. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

    Update 2 Fraser of Fraser Eng is such a lovely man. I asked the insurers to send me pix of bent chassis rails to send to him. Received the images this morning and they had already been sent to Fraser! Despite of being the other end of the country the insurer, we'll Halo, who have been given...

    I will do tomorrow. Another friend suggested them too. Thank you.
  5. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

    Apparently they'd have to remove all the habitation which is just too £££.
  6. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

    REALLY BAD NEWS Motorhome was low loaded about 9.00. Just heard from repair .... bent chassis rails. Likely to be a write off. I feel sick. Apparently, the air suspension attaches to the chassis rails and they become a weak point. Chap said the rails could have bent when I went off the road or...
  7. Greece at last!!

    Yes, stayed there a few times. Have seen police come around to tell folk to take in chairs etc. Some good tavernas in town and a lovely fish one along the coast in Nea Kios.
  8. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

    UPDATE We were told recovery would be today Monday. Don't quote know why they couldn't recover us before as trucks break down 24/7. Chased recovery 4 times before I got to someone in Technical with a brain. He said we should be recovered today. And that rather than go to Halo in Portsmouth for...

    Thanks. The girl at customer services said she'd sort it. Added us to the allowed number plates list.
  11. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

    OK. So I was being over confident and drove off the tarmac into the verge. A bit of a drop, but nothing compared to some pot holes. Heard a big bang and steering went really hard, difficult to steer back onto the tarmac. Pulled over to check. All looked OK. No restart as fuel cut off had been...
  12. Motorhome Storage

    We need a new storage facility from autumn next year. Our insurers stipulate Cassoa Gold. Two sites near Chichester ... one flooded previuosly, the other c. £75 pm, so the option is, as the op suggests, to travel!

  15. Broken Dometic Fridge Shelves?

    Not any more! Complained to a friend about the cost of replacing the waffle shelves. Must've replaced twice already at great cost. They are not designed to be load bearing. I've a solution, said David. He's one of our Turkey lockdown friends and had a glue for everything. He even mended a...
  16. Poland etc in a 4.4ton motorhome

    No toll in Poland. Most of the motorways are free. We went on one that was fee paying for over 3.5ton. Tried to pay online. When I contacted the toll organisation, I was told it only applied to freight. Don't remember tolls in Latvia. Lithuania or Estonia. Was there late summer last year.
  17. Transit through Switzerland

    We transit CH regularly in car and moho. Really easy. Buy annual vignette or >3.5 ton 10 day pass at the border. Sadly no such thing as a day pass.
  18. Maps.me alternative that actually works - Organic Maps

    Ditto.. Using Maps.Me for years. But switched to Organic Maps. I was told its creators are the ones that sold Maps.Me. So the interface is very similar.
  19. Repatriation to UK

    A friend tried to extend her 90 day stay. Van repair. Insurers wanted to fly her, but she has a dog. She had to get a letter from the garage. Took that to the Mairie, who have her another letter. Police, who make the decision, said NO. Apparently, it is down to their mood on the day. She...
