Knaus Boxlife 600mq. "Pebble" Has Arrived!.

 Time for a change and the new baby has arrived. A Knaus Boxlife 600mq Platinum Selection, to be precise. Purchased from Davan Caravans & Motorhomes in Weston Super Mare. Ordered in October and born June when she arrived from Germany.

A very pretty Artense Grey, hence the name "Pebble!" A rolling stone and all that, we did try to find a more Germanic name but eventually Pebble seemed to fit. Connotations with "The Flintstones" will be ignored. 

 So here she is, a capricious teenager already. Lots of bits and bobs to get used to and remember. Her super duper 360 degree sensors are not quite right yet and her Sat Nav needs to be adjusted to fit us, but apart from a few minor niggles she's ready to go. It only took a week to load her up, good exercise though. Our neighbours must think we are crazy.

A big change from our last van Krystal. A fixed bed which moves up and down over the huge storage area. A dinette in the front and at 5.99m more comfortable to drive. We also had a Thule Velo Swing mounted on the towbar for the bikes, a solar panel and two Lithium batteries. We have ditched the under slung LPG tank which was becoming more problematic to fill and have a camping gas bottle instead with diesel heating. A TV with sound bar and a 5g mi-fi router is also handy. We have abandoned the oven, although we have a two burner gas hob and substituted a new Cadac gas outdoor cooker ( with extras, of course) instead of our electric outdoor cooker. The fridge freezer was quite small so we bought a My Coolman, fridge freezer for the back, handy to keep and use at home when not travelling, perfect for cool drinks!!. We have kept a wind out awning and got a sun shade for the front of it, which worked well on Krystal.

The big question, a smaller van so did it all fit in? Well yes, surprisingly and with space to spare. We did have a massive cull of everything we put back in and actually have room for everything, with two spare lockers. 

A positive change? Yes I think we will enjoy life in Pebble, probably loads more changes before we are totally happy with where things are, but the bed is super comfy and it feels very cosy. Time will tell. So far we are on night 3!!!
