Hi, Sorry to be a pain, but we are 'Newbies' both to your forum, and to Motorhoming. Just wondering if we are too late to tag along to your Southport rally, preferably to come along to Saturday/ Sundays meals/ bus journey, but if not, just to stay on Friday and Saturday night. This would be our first trip in our new purchase, and as you seem a friendly bunch, thought this would be a good intro to our newly discovered freedom.

Is there any dress code? Also don't know if this is the right place to ask, but as this will be our 'virgin' trip, can anyone tell us if there is anything we need to know about using the van without a hook up ( ie with ref to charging/using leisure battery, water/toilet issues etc)

If you use too much power the lights will go out, so then just knock on the door of somebody who still has lights on and hopefully their heating will be working as well.

About the only thing you need to know in advance is that ideally you should arrive with your batteries fully charged. Whether your 100 mile drive will achieve that will depend on the charging system your van has - many won't. So if you are able to do so, it would be worth plugging the mains hookup lead in at home & turning on the charger for 12-24hrs before you set off.

I say turn on the charger - many don't need turning on - they are on automatically as soon as you connect the 230v
system.

BUT if like me you have no access to be able to charge up the van battery, don't let it stop you coming .. there is always a way round everything.... if you have a solar which goes from solar panel, to leisure battery, to van battery it will probably suffice all the time ... I have never been on hook up for many, many months ... just come along and enjoy yourselves and make a note of any questions you want to ask once you meet everyone.
