I am thinking that the warranty ran out on our caravan about five minutes ago!
First the rubber membrane on the roof perished, so we fixed  it but after driving down the road it has started leaking again. Then the toilet did not want to empty, so we fixed it but that too has broken down again quite dramatically in the wee small hours of this morning. And....now that we have had to take the mattress off the bed because of the water leak, it can be clearly seen that the bed has also developed a problem. Something in the underside workings of the mechanism that makes it slide in and out has gone wonky making the bed tilt down and to the front at the pillow end. On top of all that it is pouring rain and there is no sign of it letting up any time soon to allow Himself to make repairs of any sort.
I believe this all comes under the heading of the joys of camping. It is all fixable just a bit annoying and inconvenient. On the to do list now is to source and  price a complete new toilet and to cross our fingers that the bed issue is not going to be a big expense to fix. Still if we get all these annoying things fixed we can assume that nothing too much will go wrong in the next year or two! Lets hope they are not famous last words!!
