Helegant Jun 2022 11:00pm, 1 Jun 2022 7,164 posts	Quote Pin Helegant Thanks for the advice - three VW owners on the site didn't know how to turn off the alarm and admitted to not locking their vans. I'll check it tomorrow morning because I'm going away for the rest of the week on my own. Mr got some AdBlue from Tesco in St Neots, in a bottle, so knowing where there is a pump is really useful, thank you. We were away for three nights with the dog, and are on a steep learning curve. I drove, sorted the electrics, made sure I could put the top up and get it down again on my own, worked out how to operate the bed (three separate sections to manoeuvre) - I do have to stand on the seat frames to reach but that's the way of a world designed for men... We managed to get the right size of gas bottle today (there's a world shortage etc etc) so I cooked on a meths Trangia inside the van in a thunderstorm. Mr was very very worried and kept a tight hold of the dog! More adventures tomorrow.

Rosehip Jun 2022 11:15pm, 1 Jun 2022 25,467 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip We’ve ordered a refillable lpg cylinder for the van having had our neighbour moan for months about the lack of clinders for his caravan - now I’m hearing that lpg pumps are disappearing from forecourts. Might go for one of each, the locker is big enough. Having said that, I’m quite nervous of filling a cylinder at the pump - anyone have that type?
