My new niece Mari - who came up to Manchester from Devon today for the first time to meet her Auntie.

I'd been wondering what to keep on that top bunk!!

yeah but the waste tank on it will need emptying to much, we had one of those and it kept malfunctioning every night at about 3am screaming its head of.

12 years later and it developed an attitude and became extremly expensive to maintain :lol:

If only a silencer was available! Reasonably priced and easy to bolt on, then enjoy the peace and quiet! :lol:

We've got one of those too. Had it for about 7 years now. They seem to increase in size the longer you have them and as a result you find it harder to position them in your van. Ours only seems to function properly with a 240v hook up :wink:

We have one of these on order, should be due end of September.

I understand they require a lot of maintenance, but provide years of entertainment, and if treated properly will look after you in your old age.

Also, I've been told that the accessories can be expensive and wear out quickly. I've yet to find a fitting for the van that fits correctly too.

May I suggest you get a manual then some of the more complicated maintenance procedures can be read in advance

this should cover most problems but keep in touch as there is nothing like ownership experience
