Bikers' Banter

I want one of these motorhomes.

Now that's a proppa RV.

You could invade a Country with one of those ! I'll be interested on what you thing of the Chip Upgrade bob..... My Transit has 170 at the moment and it's a dream to drive compared to the Fiat which has a rough sounding engine note and not too slick gearbox.... it's not bad but the Ford is so good. Oh and this Waving thing cracks me up.... You get some that don't, some that do and some that turn it into some sort of Cabin Party ! I can't quite get my head around it.... Sammy thinks it's just silly. We are off somewhere this weekend (together now apparently) but we have to go to a proper Facility, none of my usual places. Where are you going Bob ?

Got a bit of sorting out to do first. Looking at next Wed and Thursday in The Peak District or The Dales just to give it a shake down and make notes of what else we need,
Local garage came back and said they can do a chip from "Tunit" that guarantees to take it up to 155 BHP for £470 all in. That will do me.
Will revert
Pics to follow today (of the van, not the chip )

And, i have short listed a car to pull along, it's one of 3. 1st Mazda MX5 (or the Fiat Arbarth look alike) 2nd. Fiat 500 Arbarth, if i can get convertible. 3rd. Mini convertible (although may have to scrub this due to weight)

Have you had one before ? I found there was a fair bit to learn and understand about all the different features and things like toilet flush and electric supply..... I'm fitting a seperate 240AH solar panel supply for the 240 volt stuff when not hooked up as I wrongly thought it was inverted.......... I've also fitted lots of extra storage hooks and cargo net type things and wine bottle clips and magazine rack..... it's all there if needed on longer trips and we have our niece and her Mum coming down in a couple of weeks for a little trip so I've dedicated one cupboard for Peppa Pig stuff !

We are probably going down the Battery Bike route as Sam won't go on the back of my Bike and I can't be arsed towing a car.........

We have done lots and lots of RVing over the years, all rentals.
The van we bought appears to have everything we would want. Don't do technical but the solor panel on the roof is 1.5 mts X 500 and is supposed to be capable of taking care of all we might need??????????? don't understand it.
We have 8 big solor panels on our house roof. All nice and fancy, ain't worked for over a year (coming to fix them/it on 12th.

What about a motorcycle on the back?

Yes, Looked into It but Sammy won't get on the back of a MC so It's not an option.... yet.... until she gets bored of coming with me !!!!!
