Hello from Southampton

Hi everyone.

We have just moved from "dragging a shed" to a 1995 Ford Transit Auto Sleeper and having had our first outing I must say how pleased I am we made the change.

"Franny the Tranny" as my wife has lovingly named it had a few issues we discovered after we had bought her (despite being promised everything was working!).
So far I have fixed the flush, the step, the fridge (for gas), the battery connections and the back door lock.
I'm waiting for a seal kit for the carver water heater as that was leaking like a sieve and had the gas pipe totally disconnected - hence the smell of gas!

Despite this, we are still very positive and looking forward to our next outing.

We have been made aware of the "Brit Stops" - I was wondering if there were any other places to stay\apps\info I should be investigating as I search this site for help fixing the other issues we are discovering.

Welcome from a damp Suffolk - the county not an auto-sleeper
