Reminds me of the time we shook Panelbeaters caravan

All bally night we was rocking, if I had the roof vents open I am sure they would have been torn off, calmed down now, went to a stream rally today saw some lovely engines, getting ready for our departure tomorrow for home, will do it in two hits as we came, not in any hurry, have to say the Patrol is the best motor I have ever owned, does not know the tin tent is on the back, only fault is the battery has died, left the headlights on when we got back today for about 20 mins before I discovered it, but flat, not a click, jumped it off the tin tent battery but volt meter shows full charge after only a few mins running, so battery capacity is very low, not been a problem as starts within 2 seconds every time, but time to change before the winter, need absolute reliability from the old girl so give her what she needs, Rick

Maybe but it smells different, just pulled into a pub for meal and overnight stay near Bournemouth, 4.5 hours driving is enough for today,Rick

Been away for the weekend in the new van and the dam wind might of been as bad as Rick suffered but just none stop. I think our camp site seemed worse than anywhere else for some reason.
