Preparations are now well under way with the date set 15th May to embark on our first adventure.
Rex has proven to have caused a few teething problems! The fitting where the table leg fit in the lounge area became loose and very wobbly just a week after delivery -this was fixed by Graham repositioning it,rescrewing and glueing it in place. After talking to Vantage, this is what they would have done.
An overnight trial with gas power only - demonstrated a lack of hot water caused by a fuse problem-remedied by a return to the Vantage factory in Leeds.
The side door mechanism appears to be faulty- ? Something to do with the roller device - booked in with Fiat dealer this week.
Graham suspects that Rex was an ex demonstrator having been hawked round all the motorhome shows. Well I suppose we did get the equivalent demonstrator discount - it just wasn't revealed to us.
Let's hope that is our 3 problems out of the way!
The next week will be spent stocking up supplies,working out what to take with us etc.
We will then hopefully have a couple of nights stay on a campsite for further testing prior to setting off on weds 15th May.
Carol will attempt to post a map of our proposed route soon ......or may be a list if unable to overcome techy stuff!
Watch this space!
