Club 80-90 Forums

We are considering going to the coast on Saturday for the night dependant on how bad the roads are.

Anyone else going away in this weather?

We are thinking of heading to Setthorns in the New Forest on Sat (if the weather doesn't do its worst).

The Peak District....

jed

Lakes for me

I take you are all joking

If I can get my van out I will be going somewhere.

Same here, booked tomorrow and Friday of work a few weeks back so defo going away.

Just waiting to see if we get any more snow over night before we decide how far we go

looking at heading out later today...just woken up so need to check weather, roads, and somewhere to go...Oh, and make sure I can get the van out the drive

Hit -10 last night, meant to be colder tonight

Hardcore or mad. Maybe a bit of both. My van is staying where it is until this bad weather and the salt has dissipated from the road. Good luck.

Police issued a warning to motorists not to make unnecessary journeys.

Mind you as long as you take care, go out and enjoy yourselves I say.

Just jealous that I have not got an Eber or Propex
Mind you, I heard Propex freezes below 0 degrees does it ? - not a good idea for heating if it does

Hats of to you all looking to go camping this weekend specially if your looking to head for south coast.. its a total no go area down here, Cars vans buses and lorrys stranded everywhere.Saw a few of the boys in there syncro's ripping it up which is now gonna be on my wish list to santa next christmas .

It's the gas that freezes, not the Propex unit; and that only really applies to butane (blue bottle) like the 907. Actually, it doesn't 'freeze' as such, it just can't evaporate below a certain temperature (which I can't be ar$ed to google). I've had it happen to me, but I just used the van cab heater to warm the gas bottle, reconnected it and then the propex fired up. Just left the bottle in the living area afterwards and it sort of kept itself 'warm'.

Hmmm - that doesn't sound to good. Mind you how is the road from Lyndhurst to Christchurch? Cos thats the way we would be going.
