An eventful 6 months

In the Wagon · Mar 26, 2017

Hi, good to meet you all! I have waited a few months after buying my wee van (Myfanwy is her name) to introduce myself and in that time had quite a few adventures : one serious fault on the hydraulics of the roof in the first month of ownership, a replacement tail gate needed after a parked encounter with a reversing newly qualified driver, a slide backwards down an icy hill and a very encounter with a large herd of cows, calves and a bull. I now have a problem with the bench seat not moving forward or back wards - just about to write a forum post for help with this. I travel solo with my dog and love the van for wild camping. It would be good to meet with other owners sometime. I am in Aberdeenshire, but will travel....

Sounds very eventful, but glad you are enjoying your Ocean, and hope the next six months are calmer!
