Another minor hiccup with our motor-home

Tweet

Edit: I've just realised this discussion is much the same as the l ast one but with a few more details. Feel free to skip it! We have a new-to-us motor-home. We bought it in late November so were keen to go away for a short trip to get used to it and test it out. However, it wasn’t the best idea to take it away when our summer temperatures were so high. The air-conditioning in the cabin worked well, fortunately, but we had booked into a caravan park a couple of hours away. It was well over 100F when we left and the temperature gauge on the engine seemed to be a bit high. We couldn’t book into the park until 2pm so we sat under a shady tree for a while with wet towels round our necks. As the temperature gauge never got past a certain point, we now think that that is probably its normal temperature. Then, a fitting under the hand basin gave way meaning we weren’t able to access any water. Luckily, we had a 2 litre container with us. We'll take the vehicle to a repair place and it will be fixed at the seller's expense. The second day was much the same as the first as regards the heat. I drove it for a short distance on one of the back roads. It is basically a four-ton truck and I found it wider than an ordinary sedan but I'm happy that I’ll be able to drive it to relieve Vince sometimes. The photo is of salt and pepper shakers we saw in the Collie Museum which I’ll eventually write about.
