The Swiss drink WD40 as they are all robots.
A lovely country but there is something sinister about the Swiss. I like it there but I don't feel like I fit in.
All of them are tooled up trained killers an all. I think one day they will quietly take over the world.
Don't say I didn't warn you!

This is not news Barry. Why do you think even Hitler decided it was best not to have a go at Switzerland?

...by the way all your busted bits are organised Thanks, Peter, I'm impressed, especially as Simon Colley at Swift told me last week that they were out of stock and he didn't know when he'd be able to despatch them for Glenn's team to fit them for me.

Damn it, Knackers. You are such a sage, you seem to know everything. Yes, it's true. I do know everything. Even Barry's top secret Swiss Bank Account Number. Pity I found it out only after that nice Nigerian gentleman had emptied it out.

Last time I was in Montreux the Jazz festival was on and the Swiss way of keeping law and order was just to have moody looking coppers hanging around on the roundabouts brandishing MP5 machine guns. Nobody was naughty. In fact. I think its considered uncool to misbehave or break the law in Switzerland. Getting drunk and running down the street shouting "here we go, here we go" While scoffing a kebab is right out!

In winter I pump out some of the plain water and just add neat antifreeze concentrate. Bet the paintwork just loves neat antifreeze, bit like some wines ! and thus add some concentrate - and that is screenwash type antifreeze, not Austrian wine.

Dunno then, thats what Glenn told me when I said some madman was coming on April 1st with a 7.5 ton passion waggon, maybe he meant super glue was in stock

What's all this got to do with my leaking canopy? I thought this was a forum for serious motor homers to seek advice of other like minded people. It's a good job its only me that's getting wet, imagine if I'd been gassed and was asking for help? What would you discuss then? Drinking hair spray in Split no doubt. Oh yes I can see it now, I'm gasping for air as footpads and ne'er do wells inject a lethal toxic gas into my van and here you are sat around a table, under a sun umbrella passing round the Wella firm hold! Well its not good enough! I'm selling the van and buying a boat before I get killed and/or robbed in my sleep. At least then I've only got Siberian pirates to contend with. And its all your faults!

Can anyone suggest what my next move should be? I believe that they don't have much rain in Southern Morocco....... or is that a bit too close?

We didn't know your canopy was leaking. We thought you were just doing research.
Still don't care though.

Have you thought of going over to MHFacts?
They have plenty of wassocks experts who can help you.
It is no good bleating on asking for help after the wettest winter for a thousand years, you need to plan ahead.
Now man up and p*** off.

Said like a true trawler - oops, I meant troller. Apparently there's a difference but don't worry, our nautical expert, Tuggles, will explain once he's finished affixing those solar panels underneath his van.

Apparently there's a difference but don't worry, our nautical expert, Tuggles, will explain once he's finished affixing those solar panels underneath his van. I've got the batteries parallelled up now, and the panels are drilled for the mountings, just waiting for the tool to arrive so I can fit the rivnuts. Then I just have to attach it all to the chassis members. It's harder than I thought it would be, especially doing it singlehanded. Having to use blocks of wood to support the panels, but be careful not to damage them. I have some extra strong duck tape which will hopefully withstand any water splashing up from the tyres. Maybe I should have got a professional to do it for me? I'v fitted the controller in the washroom so I can play with it while I'm sitting on the bog. Brilliant idea.
