My first real trip will be to Edinburgh to visit my daughter, Alison. This is where I will learn about driving the van long distances, and realise how much I don't know about living in it.
Actually, because of the late arrival of the van, I went up in a car the first time, brought her back, and then made the second trip as the maiden voyage (for me) of the van. Apart from squeeks and groans, it went very well. That was the van groaning, not me. A very helful person at the first campsite, near Edinburgh, suggested spraying WD40 on the fanbelts, which helped a lot.
