'The Wagon' test camp number 1
'The Wagon' test camp number 1
Well, finally this weekend all was ready for a trip in the Dormi!! We kept close to home (about 30 miles) to make sure that we weren't that far away if anything decided to give up the ghost.... The Dormi was faultless (aside from a sticky throttle, that I will deal with this weekend). It is an amazing usable vehicle and so well thought out!! We slept in the downstairs double bed and actually found it incredibly comfortable (something to do with my recovering perhaps??) and got a great nights sleep in a very roomy berth... The only issue is that my feet kept touching the cooker and the metal was a bit chilly, we were on a slight slope so were sleeping head up, Alex has advised to sleep the other way around!!

Congratulations !
Glad it went well. Definately sleep the other way !
We just got back this morning from our early summer trip; Rotterdam, Bruges, Wiesbaden, Regensburg, Bavarian (strictly Allgau) Alps, then Switzerland, Colmar, Gent and Zeebrugge.
Gave Czech republic a miss as couldn't get their due to motorways being flooded.
Full report later!
Had a puncture and wrote off a tyre
