We flew into Gatwick to be closer to Portsmouth. Andy from Southdown Motorhomes picked us up and drove us down to Portsmouth to collect the motorhome. We drove along a lot of back roads: Andy's short cuts. Very pretty villages.
At Southdown, it took forever seemingly before we even saw our new motorhome and then a couple of hours of handover, which, in our zombie jet lagged state, was hard work. Information overload!
We set about unpacking 4 large suitcases and some boxes that we had previously stored in the motorhome.
It was a pretty exhausting day. We were back and forth several times to their workshop to get a few minor things sorted. As you try things, you find out how they work or don't. We were helped by a really friendly technical man who always quickly sorted the problem.
In spite of one or two niggles, we have been very happy with Southdown as a company. After they had closed for the day, we realised that we didn't have a tool box. Several people came to check and within 20 mins we had one which Noel fitted into place. Of course, it should have been there in the first place, but at least they bent over backwards to rectify it.
