Wingpete Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Is it wise to keep the water tank filled when taking your m/home on a ferry? If the tank has water in it, and the ferry bounces a bit in rough seas, will the weight of water in the tank be enough to pull it free of its brackets ?
michele Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Pete, We always keep ours filled but with the two girls never know when we might have a problem. We only empty it at home winter on the drive. We have also travelled on the Ferry with no problems but that doesn't mean its right/wrong. Lots of people travel with just the minimum for weight?.
Brambles Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 The amount of water and it's weight is relatively small compared to overall weight of vehicle and is not worth worrying about. The rocking of a ferry is also relatively slow so the momentum built up in the sloshing about water will be low. Just make sure your handbrake is firmly on, and if in doubt put chocks under your wheels. There is a lot more force in the water moving when you are driving along a road, around bends, over bumps etc. Jon.
Brambles Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Come on Michele, admit it, you fill yours with cheap bulk french wine. :->
michele Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Jon, If only I wished I was a drinker not even him . Well now and again we treat ourselves to a bottle of Champagne my favorite being Piper heidsidzic Probably not spelt correctly. Tried the other posh ones but keep going back to the piper. No bit of boring old farts we are tea and coffee for us . Wonder why I keep running to the loo . ;-)
Brambles Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Hi Michele, It's Piper Heidsieck, but as I am not a drinker myslef had to look it up. LOL. Yep! I like my coffee as well, I usually buy loads of ground coffee in the Czech republic where it is very cheap. I have various types for different occasions and times of the day and have yet to find coffee as nice in the UK. My speciality is a cappuccino with cinnamon and chocolate on the cream topping. A woman in Trebon in the south of the Czech republic showed me how to make the perfect glass of cappuccino and it is out of this world when you get it right, and it just does not work the same using incredients from the UK.

Wingpete Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 Is that the Czech version of ersatz coffee, made with kiln dried acorns, or the dandelion root version ? :->
Mel B Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Wingpete Judging by some of your questions ... you're not related to TC01 are you? :-S
Guest Frank Wilkinson Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 See my query under 'Hints and Tips'.
Tony Jones Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Who is this TC01 I keep hearing about? Is he/she someone I should know?
Guest Frank Wilkinson Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Definitely not. Ignorance is bliss in this case!
Mel B Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Tony TC01 was a forum member who kept posting really stupid and/or offensive posts and was eventually kicked off I believe. Not to be confused with some of the less brainy members though! (lol)
michele Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Hello Mr startspirit, How are you yong man.
flicka Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Frank Wilkinson - 2007-02-24 6:16 PMSee my query under 'Hints and Tips'.Hi FrankCan you give me the thread name, please.I had a quick look for post by you, but did not find any relating to Water tanksCheersFlicka
Guest Frank Wilkinson Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 You've misunderstood - my post was immediately after one querying whether or not Wingpete is actually TC101 registered in another name.I was referring to the fact that I'd already made this suggestion in the 'Hints and Tips' forum.See 'Hard Boiled Eggs'.
Wingpete Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 Now, I've a good tip for cooking hard boiled eggs, if you want it ? And No I am not the other poster, TC101 (or whatever) . My posts are never offensive ( I hope) but could be said to be thought provoking, in the lateral sense. Some folks actually reply in all seriousness, but generally, I try to bring a little lightheartedness, and a smile to your mouth. :-D Snarls are so disfuguring 8o| Ding Dong !! ;-)
Mel B Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 starspirit - 2007-02-24 7:25 PM I take it you mean me Mel? As if!!! With the posts you've had on here in the past I certainly wouldn't say that of you my sweet! (lol)
