In April this year I started a 6 week trip at Troutbeck CC site. On the first night I decided at about 9.30pm that I ought to top up the toilet flush. As it was dark I put my magnetic LCD lamp in my pocket and took a 2 litre bottle to fill. Now, in my defence, I did not have glasses on and since loosing the majority of my site in my right eye I am pretty hopless without either office glasses or distance lenses. When I returned to the van I stuck my lamp onto the rear end of 'my' X-Trail. 

The first thing I noticed was that the lock on the door to the flush fill was a little stiff. At this point I heard 'OH' moving around inside the 'van. I thought I would check in the toilette cassestte compartment whilst I was there. This lock also seemed stiff. Also a tad damp in there. Was water getting past the door seal as we had towed and arrived in heavy rain? Anyway I locked up amd went around to the front of the van taking my lamp with me. Strange that there is now an awning up!!! Oops - wrong van!!

In my defence it was dark and without glasses I am now pretty blind, particularly in the dark. Also it was an X-Trail. No idea of the colour but mine is unmissable (in daylight) as it is close to airforce blue and I have only seen one the same colour in 9 years.

OK so off again to fill ours.
