Gareth & Phil have fun in Spain 2025.

[MichaelT]

My draw came out in sympathy, some stupid boy didn't latch it. Flew out on first roundabout. I got away with it one of the plastic latches that holds it to the rail had just pulled the screws out. Some bits of cocktail sticks in the enlarged hole and screwed it back in.

They sure like giving you the sh*t pitches in Spain.

But yous is a well built carthago not a cheap wannabe

Not allowed inside! Way to posh for the likes of moi!

You’ll be sitting behind the tree

Well we had a mishap leaving our last camper spot, on route the draw come flying out on a bend and broke its mechanism underneath the drawer. I'm not hopeful of a fix as its designed to bend slightly on a rocking motion where it's snapped off
Superglue and gaffa tape has been applied and if I can get it to fix in we may be able to adjust the over side to out of alignment so it sticks to the drawer above thus creating a sticky drawer and hopefully allow us to drive without flying drawer scenario, if that makes sense.
Any arrived at mar menor campsite and they have given us the worst pitch on site as it has 2 trees in the middle of the pitch so we can't get our canopy out.
After a polite but insistent conversation we are here first 2 nights and a much more suitable pitch from Friday which is also closer to the beach.

So, I have in the garage (no particular order); soldering iron, plastic welder and staples, polymorph mouldable plastic, two part epoxy… where do you want to start?

Drawers is fixed to a fashion, it goes in and out, locks into place and it's got a postion where it catches with the above drawer which is what I wanted to achieve.
Just noticed one of our pasta dishes got broken so we have the joy of plastic heaven shopping for another 2 as clearly we need a matching pair.
I hope the morelo corporation can handle the bill.
Emailing the photo of the parts required to premuim motorhomes so we have them on our return to the UK.
I also lined them with non slip material we picked uo the other day.

Don’t your draws lock automatically?

 

[Mr porky]

No they have a catch

 

[scotzsue]

We also have a faulty drawer with broken catch, not in a big posh moho though, it came flying out going round a corner, we need a new locking mechanism, meanwhile we are using a spring loaded curtain rail between door and side of of shower room, works fine, only temporary fix, but still going strong after nearly 4 years
well it is when we remember to fit it. now highlighted on our pre set off checklist

I actually have one of those in the motorhome, you may have come up with a solution if the drawers still want to fly open.
Thank you.

You definitely need a girl to go through your drawers Gareth - what a mess!

We’d never let anyone see our drawers looking that messy!

It was a chuck in as I'm busy sorting out lunch prep

I’ll forgive you then Gareth, and I hope they all do the washing up for you after and put things away tidily!

 

[carolyn]

I still can’t get over the shock of you eating off plastic plates, my teeth are squeeking as I try to eat my lunch. We have 2 odd melamine plates left over from camping days with the children. They’re just for snacks at MHF rallies.

 

[bladerunner]

I've used a baby guard attachment that sticks on either side. Seems to work well. The cupboard under the sink in the frankia is too heavy even if unloaded.
Interesting when it flew across the floor whilst I drove around a hairpin in Andora.

A wonderful afternoon, fantastic food, great company, the best hosts and lots of laughter! Thanks Gareth and Phil!

Shame it was only about 7C in sunny SE Spain.
