Journey to Clumber Park, First Trip No.1 42 miles

Journey to Clumber Park, this is a retrospective post as I came across a few pictures of our first ever trip away in our then new motorhome. Ahhh the days. It was a very wet few days at the Caravan Club site at clumber park, not too far to drive but a great way to try out all the things that one is seeing for the 1st time since the demo when you bought the van and a great learning experience it is. We had issues with some leaks and a few other grumbles / things we couldn't remember how to do them but as it was all under warranty and our sellers were not far away we got most of them sorted. We would wholeheartedly encourage any one buying a new van to do the same, just a few days away initially to try it all out. As the UK is still cold at this time of year we even tried out all the fires, hot air blowers, gas & electric operations.... do the lot .... create a snagging list and get back to the seller /garage straight after and get them sorted then your 1st real trip away in your new van will be a pleasure. Hope it helps let us have your feedback via the comments below
