Welcome Back, we've missed you.

Don't spend to long at Leeds, funny lot up there they are.

Hows the van holding up to this full time lark and are you finding that it works in a reasonably small unit.

now we are in bridge end in s wales at the moment ,found lots of places to stay ovenight or even for a few days in fact most places down here you dont get hasseled at all .as for the van one or too probs but nothing major a new thermostat needed last august but apart from that nothing but usual servicing as the van is going on 26years old she has run perfect if a little slowly :D the worst thing was the living acom heater giving up the ghost so we gor one of those portable heaters and now use that its good and as we have a c/o detector we are ok but the only time it detects any carbon monoxide we find is when we are cooking and you may be supprised at the ammount picked up up to 150 ppm:eek::eek: quite high so its just a thourght for others
