Mr Jelly has booked the Isle of Wight for 8 nights! I’m pretty excited because I’ve never been!

Wow, that's terrible. We had a similar issue with a stretch of road locally at the beach - seems residents didn't want people staying there

So, sadly we sold our van today. We've only had it since March and loved having a van, but decided it's the wrong van for us.

We lost a bit of cash on it, but definitely got value our of it for that.

Paying off loan with that cash and now looking for something a bit newer.

That’s a shame you lost money on it, Ronnie. What was wrong with it, if you don’t mind me asking?

Just a few things weren't what we wanted or niggling issues.

The high top is difficult to drive. You feel every gust and there's a lot of wind noise.

The battery doesn't charge when driving it.

The fridge isn't as cold as it should be and only works on hook up.

No air con in cab.

Terrible entertainment system/no sat nav built in.

No diesel heater.

I just lack a bit of confidence in the van too. Maybe I'm just too used to newer vehicles now.

RR - it sounds as if you’ve enjoyed having it and also learned a lot for the next one. Good luck with the search!

Sorry to hear that Ronnie. As far as the media system is concerned, something to consider are these Bluetooth/FM transmitters, they work very well and allow you to use your mobile to play music via any existing vehicle radio.
