Anyone not wanting to read about negative aspects of campervans, look away now. Anyone who has any views or advice about diesel engines (and anyone who has experienced VW's dreaded orange engine management warning light) might be interested in my latest blog (which really is too long to post here) and might even have some sound advice for me (polite and sympathetic answers only, please!).

One of mine sporadically turns itself on even though there is nothing wrong.

Has been reset multiple times and now I just dont care.

I hired one a few years ago & the engine management light came on. The company asked if it had lost power, I said no.

They said it had been looked at several times by VW & they couldn’t find why the light was coming on.

It drove fine for the rest of the holiday.

We nearly persuaded ourselves that we could live with this approach. But the possible link to the AdBlue warning light problems we also had made us realise there could be some seriously problematic issues going on.

Met a couple of runners (she in a VMLM 2021 shirt, he in a Budapest Mara 2019 shirt) in Belgium this weekend. They were touring around in a camper van. I forgot to ask whether they were Fetchies; I was dressed as a motorcyclist rather than as a runner.

Anyone from round these parts?

Nice! I'm looking for something like Nellie too, we've decided that it's time for us to upgrade from our California to something with a fixed bed and a shower/loo. Please post more pics.
