living off grid No 10

Probably the worst wet winter in the south west for many years so I’ve been uninspired for blogging but now with the middle of February I’ve suddenly realised in six weeks time I’ll have completed my first year of this new life! And I am staying warm and dry.

The truck is going for a class 4 m.o.t. on Monday as I’ve just been told by vosa that a vehicle is tested as it is presented at the test station so if presented as a motor caravan that is how it will be tested (this is after a battle with dvla who won’t classify the truck as a motor caravan on the basis that it doesn’t look different to originally manufactured? So will categorise it as body type”special purpose”)

_assuming it passes then that will make life and insurance easier and cheaper.
