During the first week of buying the van i had spent a couple of hundred on tyres, during the second week of owning the van i had to get the registration transferred and found out i had to get the van blue slipped, so i ring around and find a local mechanic that was willing to blue slip a caravan. i book it in for the Saturday of my weekend off and take it down there at 8am. well i waited about half hour for the guy to turn up and then find out the brake lights don't work when the lights are on. great was my thought. so anyway it was the only thing that didn't pass so i asked him if he was able to fix them not knowing that a small problem is about to turn into a full re wire of the trailer cables. so he looks at the wiring and discovers the previous person had used house electrics for the trailer lights. so i make the decision to rewire the lights from the plug to the back of the van with the new wires going under the van for ease of access. all wired up with new LED side marker lights which are red/amber. get the blue slip passed now time to pay the bill $438. gees i am seeing a trend happening here... so in the coming week while sitting at home, i say to Skysie i think we should call the van "Hundreds" she says why Hundreds... my response... because every time i do something to the van it costs me Hundreds.... and that's how we got the name for the Caravan.
Cheers till next time,
Benj.
