Thurs 26th- arrived in Dieppe at 4am and stayed
near beach until morning. We found a very friendly campsite and left the
caravan there whilst we went to suss out the VW dealers. Got the new pipe
ordered to be fitted tomorrow in Rouen, 60km away.
Fri 27th- VW garage was very helpful and replaced
the pipe, so after that we went for a siesta in the sunshine on the beach.
Sat 28th- set off for Limoges feeling quietly
confident but got to Le Mans and the campervan lost power again. Limped off the
motorway and called for assistance again. A local guy turned up, with his wife
and turned out to be a godsend! They lead us slowly to a campsite, but they
wouldn’t accept a twin axle caravan, so they lead us to another but it was
closed. Eventually they insisted that we followed them back to their property
where they offered us somewhere to stop for the night, food, water electricity
and use of their toilet! They even went shopping for food and brought us back a
regional delicacy for us to try. During the course of the evening they were
called out two more times, and both times left the house open in case we needed
anything, with only their dogs to keep us company.
