Hi there,

Welcome from what has been a fairly warm day in Skegness.    

Great choice of van!!     

Best regards,
 

 from just down the road

For your welcome - The Van has gone back to the dealer to sort out the problems that occurred on our first run

Details as follow:

The Heater wouldn't work
The Hot Water heater would work
We had air spurts from the taps and the pump makes a noise

And the rest

All in all we enjoyed it despite:

1  Forgot knives and forks and teaspoons
2 Got stuck in the soft ground twice and had to be towed out the latter time
3 Couldn't  find the next campsite as the camp wasn't at the postcode (Nexus satnav was great) drove around for ages following CC directions - still didn't find
4 Very tired by this time . Camped for the night late on a farm in the campsite gateway with hookup and water only.  Very kind people - had a  nice comfortable night with wine.  Woke  next morning to findl the that the loo was full.  There was no WC on the camp.   Eventually found the there was a  waste deposal (not a soul around on the farm).
 Emptied the loo  but hadn't packed the chemicals!!!

4 The loos in the village were closed down but the lady in the flower shop (we were told) allowed tourist to use hers PHEW!


5 Got to  the wild camping site in Penmon and found the water tank empty. Fortunately had a bottle for drinking and brewing -   Came home with a load of dirty dishes    

Thanks

Will have lots of questions when Van returned from dealers but in the meantime, does anyone know where we can get some new/old curtain gliders for the Duetto.  They are silly things and the cab night curtains haven't any on we have found 

Hello and   from a wet Leicestershire.

Google Swish caravan curtain gliders , dealers or E-bay will have them, I bought some back end of last year, also you get the tape if needed.

Its a learning curve but you will get there, ask and you will receive answers.. very helpful and knowledgeable on this forum

Enjoy,
Regards,
Margaret

Thank you Margaret, I will look into this

Yes, we are finding everyone very helpful

Hi Mike
is there a way to bleed the water system or do you just run the taps?
Cheers 
John

Thanks Mike will try that when we get the Van back.
