No Camper

After I posted the blog last night I went for a walk. My brother and sister-in-law live on a lifestyle block near Christchurch. The houses I saw were very very nice when I was out walking. They are on an irrigation scheme and you could see some water their grass others it is brown.
I was able to walk around a large block and had to take the picture of the Mandeville sign. No where near Gore. I also saw a cemetery - didn't go in and could only see one headstone.
This morning I had a real success. I emptied the grey waste all by myself..!! After the anguish of failing last time the jubilation in succeeding felt excellent and a real confidence booster. I am sure it was because of the twinking Winny did the other day.
Winny and son Josh (who arrived from Oz overnight) then got me to check the oil and water. Perhaps something else.
They also helped me with litres of fuel in the camper tank, distance travelled and so I can use the trip meter till I get home and get it repaired, without any worry.
Next they then came with me to the petrol station to check the pressure in my tyres. First time I have had more than two people in the camper.
So so appreciate if their help.
Said my farewells and off to post some mail and a parcel to Jack. Bit early for the campervan place so a chat on the phone to Jack filled in time nicely.
There was a problem with the temperature reading on the camper. The one that shows the outside temperature. Handy but not like I can't use it without it. In December when I was up they were unable to get the part but I was happy to have it repaired in Feb when I planned to be in Christchurch next. The service manager said it would take an hour. I thought I would wait with my phone and book an hour would go quickly. However more of an issue than just changing the part. They wanted more time and it was getting close to 5pm.
A help help call to my dear sister said that she would come and get me and she would give me a bed for the night.
So no camper this evening. I will be okay this time. I really could have been sleeping on the street...!
Hope the wiring issue is found and perhaps even it may help the fuel gauge. Fingers crossed.
I think it will be okay in the morning and I reunited with my house on wheelsRead more
