Spring Valley Bus meets Corvair

[creationblue]

The Chateau is in for a new axle, noticed it had a bit of a limp one side, turned out to be a shot rubber suspension bush that isnt servicable :? On the upside the trailer was cheap enough and I will have new brakes, worth it for piece of mind alone.....not sure if it will be back in time for Vanwest tho ........

The Chateau is up for sale..................I have been offered another, I would have been rude to turn it down :lol: Check out for sale thread.

Went to Shrewsbury this morning and picked up Chateau parx deux! Towed back perfectly, ready for Vanwest 8)

The old couple selling it left all the old 70s camping gear in it too, not had chance to get everything out yet but there looks some cool stuff in there which is a bonus 8)

Bus went to the work shop Tuesday for some touch up, picked it up yesterday in monsson conditions, and the door seals and scrapers dont leak yay 8)

Tho nearly bought a Westy lookalike the other week for £80, then though i need help :lol:

Bus is looking sweet, reckon you could get a PA in the trailer? Or at least a cheeky supplementary bass system

Hey Rob yea things worked out well with this Chateau, they contacted me asking if I would like it ect 8) My mate is having the other once the axle is done

 

[terrier man]

That looks a minter Just, 8) thinking of taking my Camp-Let to Camper Jam but think the pitch might be too small as it has a footprint of 6m x 4m & thats without the sun canopy & windbreaks. :?

The pitches at CJ are tiny. It was lucky last year that there was only 7 of us in an area for 12 (or there abouts) cause otherwise it would have been tight! If I take the CM this year Ill prob have to camp in general where you can spread out......

Tried to do the final snags this weekend before Vanwest next weekend (which is now off), to do this i delayed my weekend trip away by a day as it was going to rain today (Monday, which it did :roll: )...........all in vain but heyho!

Cleaned the on-board water tank with some chemicals, then forgot to empty it before we went away, so spent yesterday worrying that it could leak 2 gallons of water into the bus floor............luckily the drain valve/pump dont leak :lol:

Didnt want to drill a hole in the floor for the waste so used the spare wheel cupboard for the waste container that fits perfectly 8)

Then got the CM out and gave it a T-cut and tried & tested it

Canvas all good

All ready for the next show................not next weekend tho............dissapointed to say the least!
