MOBY GOES TO TURKEY. A tam and pups adventure.

Can dogs faint? Humans can vomit & poo if they faint, so just wondered if he just got a bit hot & bothered & fainted.

Yes, my view is he's done too much especially if he's been trying to/jumping in and out of the MH without being able to use the step. Our Piggy used to do too much and then collapsed/faint with the same symptoms as Milo. After a while she'd come round but would be lethargic etc for a few days.

We discovered she has a heart issue which was likely causing this but it was many years later before it became something to be concerned about.

If he ever starts coughing up foamy fluid whist conscious get him to the vet immediately as that's a sign of heart failure, our Piggy had that but she was 16 by then and lived for another 18 months.

He never gets to jump in and put the camper without the step. If it's not out I lift him in and out . The other 3 manage it but he's too small

In that case meet Hunter age 3. I managed a year without a dog before I cracked. Had him just over two weeks now and we love him to bits.❤️
 
I told you how I broke the drive shaft pin by stepping on the step while it was still moving. I didn't know there was a problem until I wanted to move.

The step wouldn't retract - it was 'loose'

I had to screw it shut and tight to the bodywork to stop the motor turning.

Trying to fix it I accidentally pulled a connection off the microswitch on the shaft.

All I needed to do was just replace the broken pin - first with a bent nail then with a bolt - both worked

Eventually discovered that I had connected the loose spade l to the wrong terminal on the microswitch.

Don't make my mistake (y) :giggle:

Mine hasn't any of those issues. It's either a fuse has blown or the relay is faulty . It was working fine . I put it out just 10 minutes before then I had no.power to.it to retract it.


I just can't find the fuse or the feckin relay.
 
I couldn't find a fuse or relay - just hoped it wasn't the module - expensive if you can find one.

How did you retract the step? - mine is too tight to disconnect

There's 2 cantilever arms that hold the bottom step on . I had to disconnect those then there's a pull out knob next to the motor that releases the motor to let you put the step in manually.

My concern is that result does not have blu's name or even her passport number on it . So how do I prove that its for her?

All the ones for the other 3 have their passport , chip number on them etc

Tam once your vet puts all that info in Blus passport that's all you need and as I told you the barcode has everything on it and can be scanned world wide, mine all have that same certificate and no problems at all

Tam do you remember I told you I bought a wee reversing wheel scooter trailer of that boy Easylifter? The Hydratrail, well what a heap of fecking shite that was haven't even done 500 miles with it and it's fell to fecking pieces, total waste of 2 grand, so I pulled up at one of them big motorhome camping outlet places here in France and bought a new one of them remorques with reversing wheels, a million times the quality trailer of that other boys shite, I've left it in a heap at the side of the road! 🤣🤣View attachment 921863View attachment 921864View attachment 921865View attachment 921866View attachment 921867

They get good reviews too those hydrstrails.

How'd it fall apart?

Yea he must write them himself! :rofl:
Heading out of Cherbourg southwards, roads not too bad just the odd bump here & there, next thing the number plate rack and spare wheel including the holder all bouncing up the road behind me, lucky nobody hit by it all but smashed to pieces hence the white number plate on the new trailer, a couple of days later headed towards Reims, I turned a corner and next thing in the rear view mirror the scooter and trailer lying on their arse in the middle of the fecking road! Brand new scooter not even 5 miles on the clock! Had to get a boy to help me trail it all over to the side of the road, couple of wee scrapes on the new scoot but not the end of the world, if I had of being doing 50 or 60 on a motorway it really could of been catastrophic probably killed someone! Turns out the main lynch pin either broke or came loose but either way completely detached from the tow hitch so that was enough for me stashed the scooter and dumped that fecking hydratrail and drove into the nearest big camper place and bought this new yoke, I've seen them loads in Morocco etc and they're the dogs balls, hopefully no more flying through the air scooters! :rofl::rofl:

Jeeso .. I'd have been taking photos though and contacting hydratrail, you're on holiday so not like you can carry the rack back to them but I'd be seeking some sort of refund/compensation.


My towbar on that fecking euramobil snapped when I just got back in to the UK last year and dropped my scooter and rack on to the motorway...I was doing 60 at the time and it's a miracle there wasn't an accident. I'm hoping the towbar on this van is a lot sturdier .

I rang your man up and he says "oh you mustn't have assembled it correctly!" I said I drove it the whole length of Ireland from Donegal to Rosslare and it didn't fall apart and how can a critical part of the trailer (the bars that attach it) break of there's no assembly to do with it and he says well all you can do is put a bolt in it with a lock nut and keep an eye on it! Lol I thought is he for real, a fecking bolt to hold on a brand new Vespa heading around Europe for the next couple of months!

Well if you want this lot I can get it all left at the big camper place here in France and your welcome to it, you might be able to work something with it down at Smiffys place, get someone to weld it up and it'll probably be fine, I mean it cost me 2 grand and it's only 3 months old
 
I think if you welded it up solid so it was like a trailer then it probably would be fine

Kind offer but I don't want to tow anything I like my rack being attached. . But if I was you I'd be having that shipped back to the place I bought it from and claiming. Surely it has some sort of warranty with it.

I think the problem with them is they're designed to dismantle and stow away in the boot of your car or whatever and that in itself is their weakness, nothing is solid because they are repeatedly broken down and built up but if you welded it up solid so it was like a trailer then it probably would be fine

I think the roads I often go down would kill one of those.

We have had one for a while, has carried KTM790 no problems.
 
So this morning we had a wee walk around landsberg am lech , cute wee town . Have to say the Germans are much better with dogs , everyone making a fuss of mine, even shopkeepers coming out to see them and give them a pet .. downside to Germany no feckin bins , they want you to pick up dog poop but no bins to put it in .. 4 dogs = a lot of poop .
