This was our 'snagging' weekend with a new van, new awning, new windbreak.
It started off so well, queuing at the door of reception whilst an ultra glamourous young lady was chatted up by the booking in warden. Quite brightened my day. And he was a happy, friendly soul even when dealing with an old curmudgeon like me.
The weather was very, very blustery and we even had thunder and downpours too. We managed to erect the awning but the windbreak would've broken if we'd tried to erect it.
After our first night I suspected that our brand new fridge wasn't very frigid. And so it proved to be. It was a dead fridge, its lights were on but there was nobody home. by the second evening we'd had to throw away fresh and smoked salmon, the remains of our milk, some expensive M&S burgers and half of a French cheese selection among other things. Whether on gas or 240V the fridge was heating but the interior wasn't chilling.
We also discovered our new van oven took aeons to cook croissants and reverted to buying some from reception.
The popup fish and chips were excellent and the pizza ok.
So a dire weekend, none of which was the CMC's fault and which we should've expected on a snagging weekend. There were snags.
UPDATE Praise to our dealer though. We reported the dead fridge Monday afternoon. Took the van to them Tuesday morning and they rang at 9am Wednesday to say a new fridge had been fitted and was tested overnight and working fine. So our next weekend should be better.
