The engineer spent nearly an hour checking the system and the pressure but could not find a leak in the system which was great except there was still a smell of gas and it was when he took out the small 5kilo gas bottle which was completely empty and wow it was only brand new three days ago we discovered that it was the adapter was faulty and allowing the gas to escape all the time. So we turned everything off and proceeded to look on the web for caravan dealers or gas dealers who may sell it but with out any luck after almost ten phone calls,except finally one company said they had it in stock. The store was about 35 minutes away through little country lanes which are not always wide enough for vehicles to pass and it of course it was raining. We got to the shop and it was the wrong unit, Damns and Blast. The only big caravan dealer was at Highbridge about one hours drive away but Noel was not convinced the unit they had in stock was correct. So a brief rethink was required , we could spend nearly another two hours travelling with the risk it was still the wrong part or go back to the caravan and get an order online which could create a further delay waiting for delivery as we cannot use the cooker at the moment until this is resolved.For some reason to add to the frustration each time I tried to order via Amazon it wanted me to go thro additional security checks and when I said deliver the product to an Amazon Locker, the reply came back saying the supplier cannot deliver to your area, what??? Any way after about 30 minutes it was sorted and then to pay a medical bill which should be simple but the online payment system did not work, neither the phone and pay system as it kept on saying it would not recognise the credit card number which was strange and when giving it verbally it worked just fine. And to add to the frustration they have two account numbers in my name still after asking them at least two times to combine them to make it easier. And then my mobile started playing up, oh B…..y hell.
When speaking to the Caravan Insurance company about the change of location and that this site is much safer than the pervious they still insist on a wheel lock which is difficult to do as the way the store the vans is apart six inches apart and so to put on and access a d wheel lock is nigh on impossible. The site has movement sensors with noisy alarms and the caravan has other security features, however we must sort it out somehow,
So we returned home and eventually just to be sure we ordered two units from different suppliers, one to be delivered by DPD with 24 hours, lets wait and see and the other to come via the Post Office for delivery next Monday, we hope.
So another evening without the cooker but we put the adapter back on for Jennifer to cook some really excellent lamb chops form Waitrose together with roast potatoes and veg and then quickly run outside and disconnect the gas adapter. Needless to say we enjoyed a glass of wine .
Again some more rubbish TV
