Do you recognise the panel Mick ? It’s a good one, it just trickle charges the cranking bat 👍
Thanks Steve. I have just sold the Howling moon awning that is on the side and I have bought a fox wing. I will turn the Rt though 45 degrees so it comes down on the drivers side and I can then fit the Foxwing 👍The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

We are currently away in the Vendee region of France Mark.
Yours looks like a good old road trip.
Ever thought about a rear bike rack & couple of push bikes on it for when the car is parked up ?
Just got myself a foxwing so thought I’d test it out in the sunshine
We sailed out of Hull to as it’s all of a 15 min drive for us
I have just bought a Foxwing Martin so I will have a little more room next time. I was just sat outside talking with Narpy (Ian) when the heavens opened

We packed up this afternoon just before a large thunderstorm and set off.
We have done 5 hours or so and have just stopped at a roadside motel in Pau for the night. We are now on our way to Pamplona in Spain. I was tempted to stop at Lourdes and fill the car with holy water

Both of you get your coat
Moved on today and had Lunch in Biarritz with the hippies
We crossed into Spain over the mountains as opposed to under them
We have now driven down to Pamplona but cannot find any camping near the city. So we have booked into a cheap hotel in the city, nothing too flash. I have even brought the fridge in with me
Not sure what we are doing tomorrow as the weather is not looking good. We may not even camp and stay in the city another day as Deb wants to do some shopping. The car has started to make a clunk when pulling away like the prop bearing is worn. But it was a new prop a couple of years ago. Could be the front I suppose. Anyway not to worry just going to have a large donut and a cup of PG. Deb is in bed early preparing herself for shopping trip tomorrow I hope the weather bucks up The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

Good choice Mark,
No fun sitting outside the shops in the pi n rain
Go spend what you can Debs, he's loaded D3 57 xs Stornaway grey
D2 02 commercial silver gone but a great servant and won't be forgotten
We have moved out of the center of Pamplona as the hotel and parking prices were quite expensive, especially the parking. The car will not fit into underground garages so choice was limited and I did not like leaving the car where I cannot see it with all the gear in. We are now here at the Zenit Pamplona for a couple of nights ( at least the parking is free and not 25 Euros a night I can also see the car from my window) I don’t think the chap in the van wants me to get in today
My wife has gone shopping in the large mall, I have come back as I am not a fan of shopping ( unless it’s for camping, tech and cars ) although if you want a car in the mall you can buy one of these 👍
We have decided to move on Sunday up to the coast around Santander and have 3 days or so up there. Its my Birthday on Monday (21 again😇) so a bit of seaside is in order 👍The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

Well its that time of year again and I have managed to talk Mrs Graham away from the sun kissed beaches
of the Med to come camping with me through Belgium,France and Northern Spain. We are packed up and ready to go in the morning over to Hull where we will catch the Hull Zeebrugge ferry at 18-30 arriving at 08-45 in Belgium.
We have less equipment than last year as we have left the RV4 at home in favour of the roof tent and annex (We did not have the annex last year as we now have a new RT and it came with that )
