Last night as it turned dark the rain turned to snow and the temperature plummeted. Coupled with gusts of wind that were attempting to merge the 3m high wall of snow behind Zagan with\u00a0Zagan, this made for a fairly restless night. As the night wore on it got colder and colder in Zagan, finally around 7am Jay spotted\u00a0the heating had gone off.<\/p>\n<p>Checking the temperature, we were just over 5\u00b0C inside Zagan, compared to -5\u00b0C outside, Jay leapt up and clad only in his PJ&#8217;s went to investigate what was going on. We&#8217;d had some gas bottle antics the other day, the auto-switch-over valve flipping over from our main bottle when it wasn&#8217;t empty, so we&#8217;d left the small bottle shut. Now it looked like the big bottle was empty or it was so cold that it wouldn&#8217;t burn what was left of the gas (butane doesn&#8217;t like the cold but LPG has both butane and propane in it).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19665\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09991-1024x768-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"DSC09991 (1024x768)\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09991-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09991-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09991-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09991-1024x768-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09991-1024x768-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The habitation door put up a bit of a fight as it had started to freeze up, but the gas locker door was completely frozen solid and wouldn&#8217;t open. After fifteen\u00a0minutes of breathing on the key and who know what other tricks\u00a0Jay finally managed to get it open and turn on\u00a0our reserve bottle. The heating kicked in again and we headed back to bed to await some warmth from the sunrise.<\/p>\n<p>That warmth wasn&#8217;t to come as the morning was cloudy and still snowing. All was going well until Jay turned on a tap and the heating unit started to flash a red light. Our manual only referred to it as a &#8216;fault light&#8217; (helpful), so we hit the internet and discovered that flashing means it hasn&#8217;t got enough electricity to run the system &#8211; FYI, if it stays red it hasn&#8217;t got enough gas. So as beginners to this winter lark we found ourselves with batteries running low (which are needed to run the heating), frozen snow on the solar panel on the roof, no sunshine even if we did shift the snow, -3\u00b0c and still snowing, all hook-up points taken and the road was a foot deep in snow over a layer of sheet ice so no chance of escape. Things weren&#8217;t looking great.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19672\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19672\" class=\"wp-image-19672 size-large\" title=\"Zagan the motorhome covered in snow\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09999-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Zagan the motorhome covered in snow\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09999-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09999-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09999-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zagan feeling amateurish compared to his neighbours<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While Jay thought through the situation and what to do, I did what I do best;\u00a0wander around outside looking lost until someone offers to help. It took ten minutes of wandering over to the electric hook up a few times before someone asked me if I was looking for something. I don&#8217;t know his name but he turned out to be our saviour. I used\u00a0the new phrase I learned before I left Zagan: &#8220;<em>J&#8217;ai besoin d&#8217;electricite&#8221;<\/em>. He started to walk me over to the token dispenser, but I pointed out the problem was nowhere to hook up to. Calling on Jay for linguistic support, between the three of us (mainly our saviour) a neighbouring van was persuaded to let us use his point during the day, and he could have it back at night.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19666\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19666\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19666\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC00004-1024x768-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"We've got power!!!\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC00004-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC00004-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC00004-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC00004-1024x768-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC00004-1024x768-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19666\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We&#8217;ve got power!!!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Soon\u00a0our\u00a0batteries were getting the boost they needed and we were able to save some of our now precious gas supply.

Once again a flurry of activity as it seems all the cars have to leave the main car park today so it can be cleared of snow &#8211; these cars are seriously snowed in, we even saw people literally shovelling it off their car bonnets.
