Well Beryl has lost her virginity,, our very first Bongo mission has been accomplished with positive results,
Just a quick overnight stay in Southport with the wife child and dogs to try her out, a few teething problems mainly down to my ignorance but on the whole a great experience and looking ...

Sat having a brew even as we speak, what I thought of as technical difficulties I've been assured is only a learning curve! :-)
Just to sort the leisure battery situation, how to fasten the awning, wait for the wife to 'decorate' and the upstairs mattress to arrive and I think Bob might just be my ...

Thanks everyone for the advice,, think I've sussed it with some advice from a VW colleague at work,, will keep you posted on the end results

Well Beryl has arrived, but I haven't a clue how anything works! Sat on the drive dying to make a brew and can't get the burners on, can't even locate a gas bottle ( if it has one) only what appears like an adapter on the outside?

Roll on ...

Cheers Scratch, got to admit Ian has been most ...
