Battery problems

Having hopefully found a replacement half-shaft, just need to ensure it's the right one, I decided to check on the internals, ready to be back on the road. I have three 110ah leisure batteries, which can power my 240 volt for about a thousand years..... Well ok, at least a weekend of constant telly. For some reason they were all dead. Not even enough to light a fluorescent tube. Have now disconnected them and nearly finished charging each one individually.

I have doubts that my old Zig CF6 has the gumption to charge all three, but strange that they died practically overnight with nothing having been left on.

Also have a recurring problem with my porta potti, for no reason the seal will go and if you pour water into the top pot, it leaks out before you pull the flush handle. Ok if it's just water, not so hot if it's pee lol.

Anyway I guess these are minor gripes considering I can't start her at the moment, and if I could, still need the half shaft fitted, before I can even straighten her out onto the drive.

I hope to be up and running soon as I will be touring as many campsites as possible, marketing my new product, The Oxbox, to campsite owners to ensure it's use is allowed on as many campsites as possible. To anyone interested, Oxbox information is available at www.Oxbox.es although the website is in beta at the moment, and that has its own blog which is always worth a read.

Thanks to my subscribers, and I'll post more when things actually start moving, literally and figuratively. In the mean time I hope everyone has been loving the weather. I took a tent to one of my favourite campsites in Hamble, Riverside Holidays on Satchell Lane, and had a great day/evening. Met some interesting people and had an enjoyable glass of wine or two. I thoroughly recommend it. They were the first ever UK campsite to allow the use of an Oxbox on their site, so I'll always love them forever.

Anyway, time to sign off folks.
