The tyres although appearing to be in excellent condition are approaching seven years old and we have decided to have all seven replaced (these things are not cheep). Luckily one of the members in a forum we are members of, is a tyre supplier and fitter for RV tyres and as he is not that far from where we intend to stay after visiting Signature so we have booked in with him to have them all replaced.We feel that we will be a lot safer having a good set of wheels under us that will last us for the seven years we plan to travel, even if it does seem to be all expense at the moment, but our safety naturally is of paramount importance.
We have also decided that we need to have European type seat belts fitted instead of the standard American lap belts presently fitted, we both feel we would be a lot safer with those and this could also help with any future MOT legislation. (These will be part of the work carried out at Signature.)
A trip today to the doctors for a final consultation and to make sure that we have a plentiful supply of any medication that we need has now been completed and some final bits and bobs have also been purchased.
The black tank has been flushed and a few litres of water with some Calgon has been added, (this helps when travelling to loosen any particulates off the sides of the tank that can be then be dumped at the end.)
The Grey tank flushed and some bleach added to the water to kill off any bacteria then re-flushed.
And finally the fresh water tank with some Milton to sterilize the insides of that. Even though we are having a full habitation service with Signature every little helps.
I have had a letter and email from the courts informing me that I am now excused Jury service (Yippee). Kristina and Gav are safely back home from their sad visit to Scotland, so its nearly all ready for the big moment.
So now we are looking forward to the adventure.
Keep watching
