Had a good play today. Testing everything, even though I had seen them work on viewing lol. Wanted to try's it myself .
Need to try out the awnings next. Full, which is an Axxor original and matches the van, the porch one and learn how to use the Fiamma wind out job as well.
I only need to get a new whale water pump , as the one supplied is a little tired...
