Well i thought I'd better start posting on the normal forum sections after my new member intro...

We did a dry run set upp and drain of our water system (probably a wet run actually) yesterday and all seemed to go well, put some cleaner through it as well even though a new van - just for good measure.

Today we did a dry run awning set up on the drive - just so we know where all the poles go (and don't make too much of a fool of our selves when on site next weekend. Took us a couple of hours to work things through, but all ok.

Henry (our leonberger) inspected the awning and deemed it satisfactory for his accommodation requirements!

One small annoyance was that we couldn't get the skirt in the rail along the bottom of the Eriba. On closer inspection there were 3 rogue rail fixing screws that had not been fitted accurately and were sitting proud in the channel blocking the skirt bead from being pulled through. It seems that they weren't even the properly spaced fixings, but 3 extra ones fired in at random - Friday afternoon factory job where the worker had 3 spare screws he didn't know what to do with? Anyway took them out - filled the screw holes with sealant and all was well.

Gosh, you need an awning with that dog! LOL. He's a beauty.

Thanks Colin - nice to know we're not alone in tweaking the new Eriba to perfection! We had a second hand one some years ago - so it had probably had most of it's tweaking already done.

I'll keep an eye on those top locker hinges
