  1. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

    So finally the insurers have agreed a repair. Happy dance! They have a place near Rochdale and have sent pix to obtain a quote. A long way from Chichester still, but closer than Inverness. Either way, a write off is not on the cards. I also pressed the insurance broker ... probably about 50%...
  2. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

    We can't thank you enough. Fraser must have a reputation as the insurance chap had found him too. Should hear back from Ageas if they are OK to sign off the work within 48 hours. Reckon Frasers part <£10k , plus new air suspension, lasers and transport. Less than £25k which is a lot less than...
  3. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

    And you beer obsessed lot ... go start your own thread! You've obviously a lot to say about it!!! 😆
  4. 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!
  5. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

    I didn't know that, thank you.
  6. 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...
  7. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

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

    Apparently they'd have to remove all the habitation which is just too £££.
  9. 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...
  10. 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.
  11. 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...
  12. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

    6 bottles 25% off atm. Taken advantage of it.
  13. Oops. Big bang. Bent suspension?

    Thanks. The girl at customer services said she'd sort it. Added us to the allowed number plates list.
  14. 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...
  15. 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!
  16. Broken Dometic Fridge Shelves?

    It's the bottles of wine that broke them!!!
  17. Broken Dometic Fridge Shelves?

    Ooh. Love a recommendation. Thank you.
  18. 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...
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
