Our Christmas trip

[Wildbill]

Ok so we’re winding our shelf up for our Christmas trip.
Ferry is booked on 20th at 0814 Dover to calise
on our way to Portugal few stops on the way down.
probably for days to get there.
We then have a bit of a drive over to Benidorm to meet up with family for the new year
Then we don’t know Just wandering around Southern Europe.
Nothing planned just following the sun if there is any
But every day is an adventure as as long as I can get beer wine It will be fine
First big trip with the new to us PVC

Oh, are you thinking of grafting the pop top onto your van ?
Maybe ok in summer, but a bit drafty for a Christmas trip

They are usually vehicle specific with a strengthening frame.

Does it say it will fit your Transit?

It will need a bit of of fettling but I think it will be fine as we have a hight top pvc we won’t need to have strengthening frame as we only need to put in a asses hatch

Ok it’s three days to go and I still have a few jobs to do
Fit water tank and pump so she can get water to sink I still have to fit .
It going to be a bit like a ship with refit crew still onboard on madden trip to Europe.
I am sure it will work out fine might be doing a few of the jobs on the trip.
The dog knows there’s sumthing happening and is getting excited.
But he’s in for a big disappointment he in not coming.
He’s got all his jabs but it just seems such a polaver to take him so he’s staying with my son Shaun and Laura.
Just wondering about camp sites on way down as we’re going to gun it down to France Spain border.
But that might changed on way down as the journey unfolds.

Won’t be many campsites open if any Bill…

You’ve probably got park4night so look at Aires, some have electricity and sometimes free but beware as the water will probably be turned off for frozen risk….

Super markets will have water we can fill on motorways and at garages.
For none drinking water and get those big bottles of water frome the likes of Aldi
As for personal hygiene it’s one letter a day and a mess tin wash minimum once a week
Whether she wants to or not
