When we bought Morrison, our 2002 Triton 430, from AL last November, he went more or less immediately into winter storage. No time to do any more than make a cursory check of the appliances, and no time for a photo. Being very much a cup-half-empty type, I was worried that there might be some hidden disaster waiting to bite me in the bum (and in the wallet: AL aren't the cheapest of dealers).

So today, having de-winterised Morrison at the weekend, I took him down to the workshop at the coach company where I part-time, so that the fitter could go underneath and check out the chassis and running gear. You can imagine my relief when he declared everything absolutely perfect, floor, chassis, linkages, shocks, bearings and tyres all as good as new. The only fault, if it could be called a fault, was slight rusting of a union in the feed from the gas bottle to the isolator taps.

Here, then, is the first picture.

Looking good. When's the first outing and where to? Enjoy.

Just to try everything out, xxxxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxxx we're going about ten miles down the road, to the coast at Seaford, near the Seven Sisters. Then it's Fairlight, between Hastings and Winchelsea. Both are near enough that if it pees down we can be home within an hour or so.

Very nice and good that it's all OK around it's important little places ! Good times ahead :) I could be mistaken, but from the picture it looks like the chimney extension is still in place - could be wrong ! However if it is still on (only needed when using the gas heater with the pop top up) it may be a good idea to 'unscrew it' incase of damage or accidental loss whilst travelling

No, I think you're right. They gave me another when I collected Morrison from Poole, "in case of snow", but I rather think 10 inches of snow on the south coast during spring and summer is pushing credulity a bit. Nevertheless it was very thoughtful of them.
