Either that, or I&#8217;m just not cut out for an English Autumn.<\/p>\n<p>For the last few weeks I&#8217;ve had a stinking cold, that turned into chest infection which has wiped me out. I&#8217;ve spent a good few weeks not venturing far from the sofa, and taking plenty of naps. It&#8217;s times like these when I am so glad that we made the push to <a href=\"http:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/funding-freedom-free-mini-guide-available-now\/\">financial freedom<\/a>, otherwise I&#8217;d be dragging my sorry self into work. The second load of antibiotics now seem to be making an impact, but I&#8217;ve basically missed most of October.&nbsp;However, this hasn&#8217;t stopped me from getting Zagan ready for his next adventure in the New Year.<\/p>\n<p>From the comfort of the sofa I arranged to have two new tyres fitted by the guys at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dustcap.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dustcap.co.uk<\/a>. No need to drive anywhere, they came to Zagan at his storage place and the price of the tyres was about \u00a32 more than we paid when we bought them at a tyre place. Jason and Rhys did everything including swapping his wheels around so we have the new ones on the back, and fitting some new wheel trims I had bought. A great service if you are based in the East Midlands.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_28457\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28457\" class=\"wp-image-28457 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_20171018_122947081-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Motorhome preparation getting new tyres from dustcap.co.uk\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_20171018_122947081-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_20171018_122947081-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_20171018_122947081-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_20171018_122947081-1024x576-678x381.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-28457\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New tyres and wheel trims (which will be cable tied on again, hopefully the Italian roads won&#8217;t claim another!)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>More sofa surfing solved a problem we had sourcing a replacement end part for Zagan&#8217;s exhaust. Being left hand drive and on an ALKO chassis meant that the standard Fiat exhaust wouldn&#8217;t fit. Jay had patched it up for almost a year, but it seriously needed sorting. Just half a mile away from our house, tucked away on a small industrial estate, is a company that make custom exhausts. Their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pdgough.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a> mainly focuses on sports cars, but they weren&#8217;t daunted when I got in touch. We dropped off the bit we needed and a day later we were greeted with a shining work of art &#8211; it was almost a shame to hide it under Zagan.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28455\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/exhaust-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"custom made exhaust for motorhome\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/exhaust-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/exhaust-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/exhaust-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/exhaust-1024x576-678x381.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Our 12v TV had developed a blue line on the screen, it disappeared after a while but I was worried one day it wouldn&#8217;t, so I got in touch with the manufacturers.

The plan being that we could run our small electric heater as a fan when it gets too hot. When it arrived it was a lot bigger than expected and weighed 4kg &#8211; we didn&#8217;t think to check these minor details! Due to its size, we couldn&#8217;t fit it anywhere near the leisure batteries, which are housed under the seats, so sadly it had to go back. Undeterred we had a rethink and bought a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B017DS1NAC\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=dailyposts-21&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B017DS1NAC&amp;linkId=a8197e86f1b40ab648492398eabe9dd3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">300W pure sine inverter<\/a>&nbsp;which turned out to be smaller and quieter than the one we currently have.

On the Gas Safe Register website I searched for engineers nearby that were certified to work on LPG and caravans. I called a few of them explained what I wanted doing and got quotes. The prices ranged from \u00a380 &#8211; \u00a3105, with some places charging per appliance.
