First trip in the bus in 7 years - what have I forgotten?!

It’s a momentous day in our house this Friday... We’re off camping in the bus for the first time in 7 years!! I’ve given it a run out a couple of weekends ago but come Friday we’ll be doing 100 miles on the A roads of North Wales. Anything I should be bearing in mind / taking along just in case? I’m slightly nervous about hills/speed to push up to for a start

Pic just cos I’m excited (ignore the rusty bits!)

 

Just relax, drive gently and enjoy the sunshine. Promises to be a lovely weekend.
North Wales is occurring....

 

Thanks! Shame I didn’t get the radio sorted otherwise would have had the perfect set up!

 

If something breaks, it will all come back to you.

 

As long as you remember the corkscrew/bottle opener you will be fine.....

 

Bluetooth speaker on the dash will do the job

Enjoy it!

 

Have a great trip

 

AA cover?

have you got a little sign made up that says

1 Not for sale.
2 I didn’t want a split screen.
3 Yes I know you can fit Porsche engines.
4 No it hasn’t got a stupid name

 

You won't be able to hear it anyway.

 

Usual check over, particularly fuel & breather hoses for cracks

 

Its been a long time since you’ve played “What’s that noise” game

the kids will love it

 

Remember to tell the kids not to worry about the petrol smell. It’s actually your new aftershave

 

The 6 year old has only ever seen looking sad and engineless in the garage, he’s beyond excited too

 

He’s only been it on the drive so far and has already made this comment

 

All my radio does is fill a hole in the dashboard......

 

To be fair I'm 55 and I'm beyond excited about going away tomorrow too

 

Its good you have been out for a trial run - at least you know it basically works.

Oil level every time you start off after filling up with petrol., and first thing in the morning.
Make sure both warning lights come on on the dash when you first turn the ignition key on in the morning.
Stop quickly if either warning light suddenly comes on.

Enjoy it , take it easy, dont forget to go for a lower gear and high revs on hills rather than lugging it. 40mph in 3rd or 20mph in second are happy speeds. Lots of cooling air, not revving too hard.

Was about to say the same thing!

We are off to the Peak Dist on Sat morning! First proper run with the new exhaust! Going to give the bus a good wash tonight as well! BRING IT ON!!!
