RunningRonnie 24 Sep 8:42am, 24 Sep 2024 3,366 posts	0 RunningRonnie Looks very nice Sarah. So thankfully, the first trip in the new van was uneventful. Collected on Saturday morning. This went well, with the most relaxed dealer in the world (one man business) - "oh, just send the £25k balance when you get a chance. Here's the keys." lol He did a great handover with us though, and had a massive bunch of flowers in the van. Came home and just threw everything in the garage area to sort out when we arrived at the campsite. I am sure we will be moving things to difference cupboards for some time yet! Drove 1.5 hours down to Riverview campsite in monifieth. Thought that would be a nice distance away. Very nice campsite by the beach. Very well kept, loads of planting and very clean. Just spent the time in the van really with a few wee walks. Managed to try out most things, such as gas oven. Our dog wouldn't settle at night though. Think it will take a little perseverance to get him used to the new van. In the transporter, there was only really room to let him in with us so that's what we did. I think he was looking for that through the night in the new van. Van is great to drive and very comfortable to live in.

We have just been sat here discussing things to move/change/sort etc. it's been a good learning curve even though we have had VW's before. Also sat here working on plans for next year's big trips. So many places to go and see Currently it's some of these Solvinia/Croatia etc France/Spain NL (for world superbikes)/Germany Wales NC500 Need to dwindle down but think France/Spain will definitely be this time next year
