    yea would like to get the gas tested for peace of mind,
    picked it up yesterday. the drive from dublin to donegal was interesting as i was driving a left hand drive for the first time in ireland.
    sorry to the first couple of fellow campers that i forgot to do what seems to be a compulsory wave.

    Ok will have to give it the correct test runs, however it is my first camper and previous ones have all been rented so was sure all gas etc was working as it should and am a little afraid of trusting these types of thing when i am only new to the van and how it works.....peace of mind really for me and the family.... either way i have a few things to get patched up like a door and the awning so need to visit repair shop.....and just wondering amongst all the camper owner what company/dealer/repairman they found of best value and reliability as one does hear horror stories and especially when so new to the workings etc of the camper.....

    Well, as you know there is donagheys in letterkenny. I've been up to them twice now and they're a nice bunch. A big spot. However if you fancy making a trip out of it you could go down to pat horans in tipp. Aidan_M_M on here works there and is very knowledgable.

    All about how much of an adventure you want to make out of it really
