Gents Very interested to hear about Gertie's past. Luckerly I was given a folder of her history. Yes she spent the first 3 years in South Africa ( after the first few months in St Andrews in Scotland) and then returned to Scotland . She has now had various owners in England . Gertie was also sold to...

Checked mine again today and it does have the adjustable brackets at the top, still could not get it fully open.

It was very tight so your advice was correct.

I will see what happens when the weather warms up and maybe the extra holes may be the way forward

Thanks again for all the advise, Kevin

Ian Yes that all makes sense, I have only tried it over the Christmas period when it's very cold. It felt like it would not open high enough and to make it worse the roof has not been opened for a couple of years. Hopefully it will be fine when the weather warms up. I will keep trying it and hopeful...

Could someone advise how the Dormobile roof locks in the up position, and then if I can finally get it to lock how would you get it down

Mine does not seem to want to lock

Thanks Kevin

Thanks Alex

I was just checking the legal situation with regards to seat belts, the manual says that if the vehicle has a ULW greater than 2540kg and used before Oct 1981 then they are not required.

With the info you supplied this obviously is not the case

Seat belts required !

Thanks kevin

She has been very well looked after in the past but has stood untouched for a couple of years

Hopefully a good service and MOT and she will be on the road. Interior just need a clean

Thanks kevin

Hi all,

Picked up my new Dormobile "Gertie" yesterday and been having a quick look today.

She came with a folder full of history which I am slowing looking threw, found out that she was named Gertie so that will do for me.

A few pictures to show her off

Thanks kevin

Just returned from my viewing, she looks good and I have taken the plunge and made a purchase

Now I have got to arrange transport from Cleveland to essex

Does that now make me a full member of LRCC

Hopefully I will be out and about next year

Thanks Kevin
