We finally got away in the MH after numerous faults and stresses and I was really enjoying it........until 3.30am. It had been raining slightly earlier, with a couple of rumbles of thunder, but nothing of any significance. Then, at 3.30am, I was suddenly woken by the sound of dripping water!!! It was so loud and 'sharp' I thought it must have been the tap dripping in the sink. No, it wasn't that. I finally traced the sound coming from the door. After a good inspection, I discovered that it was now raining very fine and must have been doing so for a while because now the rain was leaking in through the roof somewhere, through the cupboard above the door (where our Control Panel is, out through the bottom of the cupboard and ripping onto the metal surround of the fly screen. Then running down the fly screen onto the floor in the footwell and, presumably, out of the floor vents. My heart just sank. I couldn't believe it. We've already spent a fortune having the roof completely resealed by a dealer and here we are with it leaking again!!! Why do all these things keep happening? I can't even go away for 3 days without some disaster!!!!
To top it all, it was only supposed to rain for an hour or so yesterday but ended up raining for most of the night.....and we're parked on grass......miles away from the entrance!!! We're supposed to be leaving tomorrow but it could well rain by then, so we're looking at leaving today. It's supposed to be sunny and 24 degrees today, so I think we're going to wait until this afternoon when, hopefully, the ground will have dried a little and we can get out. We're up on ramps on one side, though, and they've alrdeady sunk it a little, so when we back off them and remove them we'll have a dip in the ground in front of the wheels to get past first. God knows what we can do if we get stuck! I'm so fed up, honestly. I keep trying and trying with the MH but there's always something wrong.
