Hi Guys, I thought I had posted here a couple of days ago..but I can't see my post so please forgive me if I have a)posted in the wrong catagory or b) posted before.
So we have bought a 'new to us' Adria Coral Supreme 680 ST'... 7.36 metres long.....we're just a tad apprehensive about driving it. We have yet to take delivery..hopefully toward the end of January. We've had a small Eriba caravan for 6 years but decided to go for a little more luxury as we get older. We've booked on the CC motorhome manoeuvreing course so hope to gain confidence with this under our belts. The Coral has a fair-sized overhang that's the main worry since we've not driven anything like this before.
We're really looking forward to this new adventure and have booked a few days away a day or two after we pick her up. We need to get used to her before we set off on our 3 month trip to Europe in March.
We know nothing about stuff like the ideal length for a hose to empty the grey water if the drain is not convenient to drive over??? Also how long should the hose for fresh water filling be??? Do folk prefer the curly collapsible ones or the old fasion type? Does everyone carry a watering can (in addition to the hose) to top up the fresh water??? Any tip to ensure a quiet trip....reducing rattles from kitchen equipment etc? Does everyone empty fresh and grey water before setting off on a trip?
Any advice would be very gratefully received.
