Dethleffs in the Driveway

1 Comment

As we left Mokau, we were invited along with Steve and Rosemary to stay at Greg and Shona’s place in New Plymouth. They are also part of the Dethleffs Owners team and Graeme and Shirley were going to be there too.

Us on the left in front, Steve and Rosemary’s Esprit GT behind and to the right, Greg and Shona’s Advantage.

I was a wee bit nervous after repairing part of my Chassis at the back which gets scraped occasionally on high forecourts and driveways as there was a huge camber at the end of the driveway, but no damage was done 🙂

It was lovely to catch up with Greg and Shona and it was very kind of them to put us all up in their driveway with power too!  We had a fantastic dinner together and a lovely night in the driveway.

In the morning we all set off in different directions. Fiona and I set off to New Plymouth city to see the famous Len Lye Gallery and have some lunch and Fiona was keen to see some shops 🙂

Our next destination was all about New Years eve 🙂

Thanks again guys for having us in your driveway and thanks for a great night. It was great to see Graeme and Shirley again too.

  1. Lovely to read Chris, nice trip and joy with the others. Lucky the camper was not really damaged. We had a same experience by driving backwards into steep upward driveway to make a turn. The chassis is stiff and wellconstructed.
    Thnx for sharing regards, Hans
