Another memorable motorhome tour through the northern part of France; our intention was to cross to France via Le Shuttle then make a fast journey to the Languedoc area to view Roman sites in France, then wine tasting and purchase of red wines, over the border into Spain with a call in Andorra, heading back
Working on the web pages to show our route I thought it would be interesting to make a T-shirt of our route, so here it is. I don’t normally wear anything except plain T-shirts so no doubt I will have to endure a certain amount of comments from other members of the family. Not a
Another long trek around Europe, calling off at Colsterworth in the UK for an American Square Dance campout weekend with flyovers by a Lancaster and Hurricane aircraft, through the tunnel to Calais then to Lake Annecy via Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. On the way we sampled wines in the Alsace and filled our lockers with
I am sorry to report that our Reich water pump has failed AGAIN! To recap the story of our water problems . . . our Hymer B544 came equipped with a Reich Twin motor pump; that pump worked until August 2022, 6 years, so we had no real complaints about how long it worked. We

Doing my homework before setting off on another trek around Europe, so I am looking for a convenient overnight stop to break the journey to Portsmouth. While looking at motorhome sites I am struck by how many reviewers post photos of their dogs. The dog in the photo of the site, the pitch, the facilities
The new water pump arrived as expected, physically it’s slightly smaller than the failed pump. Fitting the new water pump was very easy, it has the same size connection and all that was needed was to use a small connector to join the wires into the old place. I’m pleased to report that the water
Our Motorhome water pump failed in France Day 16 of our winetasting trek around the Alsace and France and our water pump has failed. The water flow has been reducing slowly over time, every since the major work on the Truma water heater, we thought the cause was debris in the water system that was
