Sorry Tam we haven't used a dentist in Javea, I remember someone from the campsite having work done and saying it would have cost a lot more in the but can't remember who was at the moment. Bob.

Mine is in the wardrobe but it seems to be the colours for the white panels and the blue and grey graphics on those panels.


I can't find any atlantic blue paint that matches my bumpers , the bumpers and wheel arches are different from the aluminium skirts

Northernraider just had part of our front bumper resprayed, colour coded from plate, however it is darker than the existing, inmagine it is sun bleached, cant see both at the same time though

Yes that's often the problem. Hopefully mine won't be too noticeable either as only the bumpers and wheel arches are the same colour the long side skirts are different so like yours you can't really see both bumpers at the Same time.

A proper auto paint shop should have a gun that detects the correct colour . I just don't know what they're called in Spain.

I think cintia wants a more luxurious accommodation lol.

Just smiffy and cintia lurking roond Doc while I was at the castle View attachment 982483


Is that no a fine looking motorhome.

Yes it is fine looking, but also fine performing inside and out, no doubt.

You are obviously proud of your choice.

I guess you wonder why you did not go that route years ago - maybe you had to wait until vehicles of that quality came down to your price range.

I was discerning/lucky when I picked our N&B Arto 15 years ago as my first MH and have not regretted it

I am glad you are enjoying your Flair and I am sure you will be for a long time, instead of swopping every year or so..

 

[Pugsy]

Tam Northernraider I used this dentist last year to get a tooth built up and filled cost 50 euro.They speak good english and the dentist I had she worked in NHS england for 5 year.
Don't know if it on your route but may help.
Cheers Cris

Colorímetro.

 

[Mikey RV]

What about getting the whole bumper re sprayed in a colour of your choice if you can’t find the exact paint or do you want to keep it original.

Dentist…. You should have said, I bought my tools with me…

I suppose it’s only a dentist that can extract money from your wallet…

 

[Northernraider]

I'm getting the whole front bumper and the front wheel arches painted but I want it to match the rear bumper . I'm also having the drivers door painted to match the side as it's more cream coloured at present .

That's OK I don't need it to be cheap as I only want them to test the bumper colour for me as I expect theyd have the proper test gun to identify the correct colour. I'm not sure the morrocans will have that.

Just missed you this morning…

Did you fly the drone over as I saw one and was waving frantically….

Where are you parked up Tam?
I see the large free parking space by the old airstrip for campers is now closed until next year, some say its being renovated, others say too many campers overstaying their welcome for the whole season and taking up too much space with trailers etc. If only people would be more considerate and not take the P, but I guess that wishing for too much these days.
Parking Fees for MH's & height barriers next I guess

Yeah the parking at the airfield is closed which means the streets around the aire on the sea front have loads of vans in them .. I'm parked on the street behind the aire. I parked away from the herd as always but came back from a walk and found 4 other campers parked behind and in front of me. Can't escape the buggers .

Now there's 2 in front and 2 behind

 

[TinaLes]

I guess wherever you park the Flair Tam would create the same problem with some thinking....Well I aint as big as that Flair, if anyone has a moan, they will moan at him 1st

[TinaLes]

I hope this link works, it would seem that every road behind that Aire is full of motor homes, bet the locals are well happy. The end one just managed to get his trailer in as well.

Well, you do now as I'm rather partial to ours.

Cheers,

It looks even more odd having them silver when the bumpers are colour coded . I Definitely prefer them in white


I was considering having my bumpers and side skirts resprayed in white too to make it look like the newer models but I quite like the contrast on the bottom .

Some pics from today , had the dogs along the beach this morning. Blu made a new friend a Spanish English setter , very similar markings ...they had a good chase and a play in the water.

Saw a hooplae ( think that's how its spelt)

Back to the van

dogs had a kip and Jackie and I went to explore castello de la plana

Cool trees these , not sure what they're called but the branches grow roots which then burrow back under ground

Nice old merc motorhome

And then I was just having lunch and plod came and moved every motorhome that wasn't on the official aire. So I dumped and filled at the aire and drove back to benicassim and parked on the sea front.

Heading inland a bit tomorrow to go see a hot spring and a cave for a change of scenery.


Jackie's new van reminds me of her old van

I've half a dozen VW Crafters and was wondering does Jackie know her payload? It would be interesting to see what weight they are after conversion
