Very French with no Vegetables was only ever served 3 green beans and a couple of French Fries in local restaurants when we lived there. When we asked the reason of French people we were told that traditionally it was an insult to serve Vegetables to visitors as only poor people have to eat vegetables!

Since 1996, had Elddis/Swift/Rapido/Rimor/Chausson MHs. Autocruise/Globecar PVCs/Compactline i-138
Weighed it on the way to the ferry, still running 300kg over (3820) after being very careful what we packed,
Aren't you concerned about the extra stress you're putting on the rear suspension by being so overweight? A little over the limit isn't a massive deal but 300kg overall (albeit not all on the rear) is a lot over. Not something I'd do.

I could have uprated mine from 3500kg to 3800kg without any mods to the suspension, so it must be designed to run at those sorts of weights.

Like Lenny we are over. Not that much though. I would not worry, if you ring SVTech they would simply upplate it to 3,850 as a paper exercise.

No they won't it needs rear air suspension especially for the rear to go to 2250

That's because you are colour blind numpty🤣
There’s no colour for my blindness🤷‍♂️ it’s all so grey, or at least the last few are a bit more creamy, go to the Alsace, so much Germanic influence. So much colour and brightness, not so drab as the French part of France🤷‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣

Brilliant pictures again, you obviously have a good eye for taking pics & there never seems to be anyone hardly ever in them which is amazing
Often wait ages for bight red anraked tourists to get out of the way.

Stick to where you are. Pissing down near Bordeaux and not forecast to get much better until the weekend. Will start heading East along the Dordogne and then look at cutting down to the Med.
