Malibu Molly

Yesterday I filled the fresh water tank and added 120ml of Puri Sol. Leaving it overnight to clean any impurities in the tank. I ran some through the pipes to both sinks as well. This morning I pulled the van back on my neighbour's drive so I could hook up to the house mains electric with a drop lead I bought years ago abd never used. It kept the batteries topped up whilst I ran the taps to move water from the fresh tank to the grey. Then I could fill the fresh again to rinse out the remaining Puri Sol. It worked well and I then drove to Canterbury New Dover Road P+R where there's a motorhome aire and also a service area.  In total we were carrying 190kgs of unnecessary weight.  Dumping the grey was easy enough as the grid is easy accessible and our drain is amidships. Whilst it was draining I had the tank filling up again, and the taps open. It's essential to clean out all the Puri Sol.   To empty the fresh tank I had to park acro...

Today we had Molly booked in for the MoT test.  We got it out from storage after the fortnight it's been in there. Of course,  it started first time.   It seems the area is spider central. Both door mirrors are covered in webs! We will sort that out, a brush and hose....! The MoT? It didn't happen as when I got to the garage, Molly was too long for the test ramp. They did try and the back wheels would overhang the end of the ramp when it was raised for them to get underneath. Panic. I called around a few places with the right length ramps.  I tied the two suggested by the first garage.  One couldn't do it and suggested the other one that had been suggested earlier.  They couldn't fit it in until 4.30pm the day before we go away!  A bit late! I booked it in case I couldn't get anywhere earlier. Then I  called Choose Leisure where we got Molly from, and they suggested the garage across the road from them where they get all the Mot's done. ...

A great resource for the city of Canterbury.  It's £4 to park per day. At midnight a new days ticks over and so it's £8 to overnight in the aire. It has fresh water plus grey/black drops. No electric hook-up. The fee also includes the bus into the city centre. Today we were there to drain the grey water tank and to empty the toilet cassette. Whilst there we took the bus into the city centre to do some shopping.
