Return to MORELO

[funflair]

Having a MH is like having a boat there is always someone with a bigger one

The only way to stop that is to park in smaller places

 

[funflair]

is the Morelo badge on the car a bridge too far?

Yes it's a bit of a common theme Jon, there has been a guy with a Punto on a trailer and it looked like the factory lone car.

 

[funflair]

So this morning we said goodbye to MORELO unless the Grand Empire is back in the showroom next week as we are only 25 miles away at Mainstockheim,

Dettelbach look lovely and is just a few km down a cycle track, cycle route to do tomorrow.

So behind us is a Dopfer individual, new one on me what about you jongood

A nice Vario a few vans down and another smaller one further away, PhoeniX, RMB and Concorde 10 a penny.

Nice pictures Martin

Are you heading back now?
Did you come up on Autobahn 3 on your way to the factory?

No never seen one of those Martin. Are you drooling over the Vario? I would be, better not tell the wives though ......

Your weather looks OK, horrible here and more to come - bloody DVLA

I'm just wondering if the guys in the C-Class have just bought a Grand Empire?

 

[CazPaul]

I've seen a Dopfer individual in Germany, absolutely stunning van on an Iveco, very expensive he said.

I thought it was a Volkner with that front but no, the Vario looks lovely but big.

It’s dry here and OK to sit out in shorts and T shirt, not fair to blame DVLA for the UK weather though

 

[funflair]

Oooo jongood

 

[Jenka]

Certainly not, we had a home for 2 years and everywhere camp site we went on, people would stop and stair at it

Theres a Morelo next to me in the Black forest and the owner is not impressed as they are all staring and taking photos of my Bailey ! Honest feel like a film star .

They're probably thinking that the ice cream van has just arrived on-site and whether they should buy a '99' or a Classic Magnum.

Be prepared for a knock at your side window in a second ;-)

I hope so as I've a freezer full of Lidl RIP off Magnus but the window doesn't open it's a Bailey awaiting parts from Bristol

I like the front styling but have you been in it? Flat floor is nice but they lost the plot on the layout, you go in through the kitchen, small worktop on the left across 2/3rds of the width with the fridge freezer and diswasher right opposite the door and then turn left into the shower room to the bed beyond.

Ah yes, either been in just looked at pictures can’t remember which.

Don’t know what we are doing, we never have a plan, couple more weeks I imagine, did A3 from factory today but only 20 miles, might head slowly home on some back roads and see what we see.

Sounds good,

Hopefully the weather will still be warm next week

 

[gwyntaxi]

Sod Ian the Builder, I'll up his £1 a week by 10p.

I’ll double it Mo.

I should have added "if we get a call from the factory to say or shelf and drawer front are in we might head back that way next week"

 

[funflair]

And now for something completely different, they were thinking about parking next to us but then went off to find somewhere a bit muddier,

 

[Mr porky]

Yes well we have just had our milk shelf in the door smash. Ordered a new one with premium motorhomes but that’s not till November till pick up.

That tire on the back looks too big must be an optical illusion

You are in Germany, can you not swing by the Factory and pick one up.

 

[JockandRita]

Having a MH is like having a boat there is always someone with a bigger one

And like owning a boat, there is always something that needs fixing, or attending too.

Oooo jongood

Sorry Martin, but it looks too much like the Carthago Library Bus for me.

Your choice of timing, or theirs?

Cheers,

Jock.

That was my suggestion, but they need to Order it.

Breaking news, the stellplatz at Mainstockheim has a little ferry over the river, apparently hand brake alone does not hold your car on the slope, no she wasn’t in the car.

They have found the car, just hope it doesn’t pull the fire engine in.

Probably won't if they take it slow enough to let the water drain out..

That would be extremely unprofessional, and is highly unlikely.
They will be using a winch capable of the job, powered from a PTO, with the handbrake on, the auto box in Park, and wheels chocked.

Cheers,

Jock.

 

[funflair]

I think there is an edge to the concrete so scaffolding boards are out, it’s coming though,

Just had the binoculars out Jock, yes wheels chocked and all wearing masks, very professional, there is a breakdown truck waiting to pick it up when it’s up the ramp.
