Gareth & Phil have fun in Spain 2025.

I am certainly not saying dealers are perfect, I’m just stating you can’t give the dealers a knock on customer care for something that is completely out of their control with no ability to influence it at all but yet their the ones that take all the abuse for it.

Your relationship is with the dealer that took your order (and your money). They should take responsibility and get on the case not just shift the blame elsewhere. Up to the sector to sort its self out, not the customer.

 

[BigGandher]

Bit wrong to blame the dealers when they are subject to the manufacturer’s and the manufacturer’s are subject to their suppliers. If the dealers can prove that they have ordered the parts in a timely manner then it’s all on the manufacturer’s in my opinion

What a great couple of guys , living it to the fill , fantastic pics , fantastic food you two know how do it , an y van probs come second to the life you lead , thank you so much so much x

It's too easy to say "it's not my fault"

Mr porky thank you Gareth & Phil for sharing your adventure's I have enjoyed reading and seeing all the photos. You certainly ate well and seeing all the food porn always made me feel hungry. Hope everything gets sorted with your van, keep us informed.

I don’t often follow these things but I thought you had the perfect balance - personality, informative - food and places and just bloody good fun to read. Thank you.

It really is Gareth and Phil's fault. Here we were just rambling through Spain drinking mainly Red wine and the multiple Aperols. Then they go and show a photo of Vermouth. Which we'd never tried before.........

These are just the ones we can get at. The others are under the floor and in storage

I use the Maronti reserva for cooking in some meals.

The cheapest ones are for Sangria and Malaga spritz. The others are for pure undiluted pleasure . Obviously with a slice and ice.

 

[Mr porky]

Thank you everyone for the kind words.

We are just about to dock in Portsmouth after a very bumpy crossing.
Happy to be home .

Thank you for your culinary delights.
I enjoyed them very much, plus the wine selection.
Hope your motorhome receives the love and attention that you both show.

 

[denisejoe]

Welcome home. Have enjoyed reading the thread.

 

[Riverbankannie]

Welcome home. My only gripe is that there were not enough cheese photos and I had to skip quickly through all the meaty ones
We are on the ferry to Santander in a few days so will look out for your selections that came in bottle form at least, even if we wont be sampling any of the restaurants.
Thanks for an enjoyable thread.

 

[Bluemooner]

We arrived at the dealers yesterday afternoon ready for our snag visit today, as we where here they fixed the hab battery issue and the internal light switch issue, most of the parts are here except the toilet douche.
We shall be here for at least today, our schedule is free till Friday if required, but I'm sure it won't take that long .
It's the step that's the problem though as it's intermittent I've no idea how that can be fixed without swapping out most of the system and they definitely don't have those parts.

 

[The Coops]

Could they not rewire the step circuit it sounds like a broken wire or is the system all wifi bluetooth?

No idea

 

[Mr porky]

I do think they are trying to cover all bases with regard to the customers in the customer lounge, a nice book about Rolls Royce and another book about travel on a budget

You need to find the leaflets entitled "they all do that sir" and conversely "we haven't heard of that before".

I think you’ll find them in the folder marked “Customer care for dealers” under the tab “Not under warranty”

 

[Mr porky]

We walked into Bawtry and had a lovely lunch at The Crown hotel.
We walked back and noticed a delivery truck at the dealers and phil joked "i bet that's our douche shower kit"
Unbelievable but it was, so they are fitting it now also they have fixed the step.
Details later.
Some food porn from lunch.
This is your last though
