April 2011. We took delivery at the beginning of April, and immediately booked our first stay.
Two weeks later we drove 100 yards from the barn into the neighbouring field – conveniently a campsite – and parked up. We spent 2 nights there and learned:
About the use of chocs and spirit levels – not chocolates and whisky measures, both dear to our respective hearts, but nevertheless important
How to deploy the sunshade, anchor it in a gale and put it away fast when it looks like rain
That Horatio is happily watertight and cozy during 2 nights of thunderstorms
The grill pan was not blue – that was the protective film which had never been removed – no wonder the oven looked like new, it effectively was!
How to fill and empty the loo and the water systems, and the pleasure of having heating and hot water on tap.
So, it cant be that difficult then, can it?!
