:):) I tried. The 2 Newhaven ones kept disconnecting. I used the 13p per minute one in the end and got straight through. The things i do for my wife.... She hates the drive round the M25, M23 then the M20 to the tunnel. Bless her.😁😁

Thanks every one for your help. Long story short. Finally got through only to be told I can’t book crossings for 2023 for another few days. Hope its worth the wait……………:);)

We travel to France several times a year. All ways use the tunnel, as its so quick and easy. But I decided to try the ferry, Newhaven-Dieppe. Makes our journey in france slightly shorter.. Problem 1, there online booking system doesn't appear to be live for 2023. No problem i'll phone, plus ive...

Another one here for Aldi ground coffee in an Aeropress, while away in our campervan. (proper coffee machine at home) Try Nestlé coffee mate instead of milk. Tastes much nicer.

Yes there will be a couple of H camper vans exhibiting.

Yep thats my van.. soon to be replaced with our new H van Ive been restoring/building for the last 6 months.

My 1970 H van

Think that might be me.

I love maps.me. Use it all the time. Was great around France last year. Much better than my tom tom (that ether does a huge dog leg or detours onto narrow country roads and housing estates)

Tried a few times over the last 12 months to register on that site. It doesn't work. :sad:

Hi Folks. Thanks for your comments. I have now had the van on the road for 12 months. I use it every day. Apart from my hotrods, it’s the only transport I have. Last summer we spent a wonderfully 3 weeks touring the west coast of France. We intended to use Aires but ended up wild camping...

Hi You dont say how you would like me to help. Let me know, I'll do what i can. Dave..

Borth We spend many weekends at Borth (Kite surfing) A little welsh village time has forgotten, a little run down. But that’s how we like it, very few tourists. Sea defences are being replaced at the town end of the beach so a little hectic down there. But the Ynyslas end and the estuary are...

Of to France today. Been putting a tool kit together for the past week. As a mechanic I’ve found it hard not to pack every tool I own. Bag weighs a ton.

Am I missing something here. Im of to France next week for 5 weeks. Ive got cover with the RAC. Not the cheapest I’ll admit.. BUT if I brake down, I no they will turn up and fix/transport my vehicle. Peace of mind is far more important to me than paying peanuts for breakdown cover only to find...

Go there most weekends for the kite buggying/surfing. But no wind this week so sunbathed and eat cake….:lol-049::tongue:

Flame was fine.. No crud fell out.. (Jet was cleaned before installing a few weeks ago)Fridge just didnt work very well on 12v or gas. so before buying a new unit i tried what i thought was an old wifes tale and turned the thing upside down. It worked for me......................

Don’t want to contradict anyone, but I had the same problem. Worked fine on 240v but gas and 12v were poor. Took fridge out, turned upside down, shook it about for a while. Repeated this several times over an afternoon. Reinstalled unit. Hey presto fridge works great especially on 12v. Ice...

Ynyslas, Borth Another shake down run in the van. To discover which of life’s little luxuries we can/cant do without, before heading to Europe latter this year.:drive:

Thanks for your comments folks Yes I was exceptionally lucky with my van, these vehicles are renound for there rust. The underside is like brand new. All it needed was a wash down and a coat of black zinc paint. Your latest HY looks great. I still have all my original brake parts lying around...
