THIS week I bought

Ah I could have worded that post a bit better Mel. We sold our old moho last summer as we were expecting a rather healthy payment to arrive from a land sale.
The land sale still isn't resolved, its taking forever & driving us nuts, so I've been suffering from withdrawal symptoms, now I know how a junkie feels, every time a moho goes past our door my heart skips a beat & I was feeling really down. :cry:

With all of that in mind I decided to look into our savings to see if I could afford an older stopgap. I was backed into a corner price wise when I spotted an advert for a Swift KonTiki which despite being elderly was described as bone dry & it was only a couple of hours from the door, well worth a rather pleasant drive to Perth on a lovely spring day.
The condition of that KonTiki blew me away especially given that the vehicle is a 1995!!!
With my damp meter I couldn't find a trace of damp, there were no signs of any old repairs.
The base vehicle which is a Peugeot is also in remarkable condition & very very low mileage.
Of course it was really cheap, so we'll pick it up this week, its a six berth & even has the layout which we're looking for in a new moho.

Now watch this space, I'll be willing to bet that the money which is coming will arrive within the next couple of weeks. o_Oo_Oo_O :D
 
This is the beastie......:smiley:

Gone a bit mad today on a certain auction site and bought 2 x 100 watt solar panels, a new cab carpet, replacement door locks, as the drivers lock has been broke since we bought the van and some window tint film oh and a wi fi reversing camera! Still undecided to buy a dedicated monitor or a new single din radio with flip up video monitor/sat nav/bluetooth etc. Best close the auction page before I spend any more.

Be careful what you buy if you plumb for one of those.
I have had to sort out two incidents of batteries going flat that were caused by them.
The standby current ( even with the face removed ) was horrendous
 
VB semi air and updated front springs. Only picked the MH up from Solar Solutions, Sturminster Marshall in Dorset at 16:00 driven to a lovely BritStop in Malmesbury via about 5 dud ones and very very pleased.

A 'turbo' mop and bucket ( ??? !!!!! ) for Woman
Two new tyres for the Smarty I have just sold.. Canna let a Funster take the car unless it is spot on !
 
It was a toss up between a A class EuraMobil and the Malibu and with it been a sister company of Carthago decided for the Malibu. When you go in the Malibu it just looks and the quality just feels the same as a Carthago but about 20 grand cheaper. It’s the I500 QB on a 4200kg cassis with loads of storage and a massive garage at the back.

Molly car air pump thread nozzle adapter brass open end tyre air inflation valve connector car pump accessories fast conversion head clamp nozzle (Amazon product ASIN B07PQTLZBW )

To go with the
12V 30A Double Piston Large Volume Air Compressor Car Tyre Inflator
that we bought a few weeks ago

the adapter means that it's easier to clip the hose to the valve instead of the screw fitting that it came with

Best £2.39 spent especially as it is now £4.39
 
That’s a great little adaptor - I’ve struggled with the my screwfix compressor pump before - getting it connected and thats was just on cars - and whilst it’s capable of the motorhome tyres I didn’t fancy the battle if something occurred.

Thanks for sharing - I’m will buy one - might come from a slow boat from Hong Kong though although at your price I would have bought one.
 
We stopped at an aire at Jerez yesterday called La Morada Del Sur, it’s a Motorhome repair centre and shop. I managed to pick up a new Fiamma bike cover, perfect timing as the old one had ripped to pieces in the strong winds on the way up from the coast.

Thanks for the heads up, did not see your post until catching up on posts this morning.

Gave Brownhills a ring a moment ago and although the 20% off accessories was just for yesterday, they still gave me the 20% off the Avtex sound bar so I bought one. (y)
