update from 2nd May 2025

...well, and then the unexpected:

We set off on 1 May as planned. Not to Venice, however, but to a Malibu garage in Hindelbank, as we'd had problems with the mains voltage since switching on the fridge on Wednesday.

Our battery is OK. However, the mains voltage is too high in full sun because the solar controller was programmed incorrectly... The fridge has always reacted by switching itself off for protection, and the Truma combi heater has reacted by blowing the fuse. But in a week's time at the latest, we will be able to start our travelling adventure with a well-maintained camper.

And fortunately we were able to postpone the ferry to Greece by a week without any problems.
