We received the vehicle’s V5 from DVLA then went to Halfords to get the number plates made up. Sadly we had to get the ‘EU’ style plates which was a disappointment – never mind though, we can probably change them for real British plates later this year….
With the new plates fitted we were free to take the camper for a spin around some local roads and lanes. This was our first time driving a big left hand drive vehicle in the UK and I’d have to say it was stressful. The van is much wider than either of our cars, and it is a whole lot longer so we took it easy and very carefully. I’m glad to say that we didn’t clip any kerbs nor have any heart stopping moments.
On our second outing we parked up at Meon shore and enjoyed the sea views, the photos of our parking are below. Thankfully the car park was quiet, I guess I’m going to have to get down there early in the day to park in the summer.
