We have a cooker (or do we?)!

 Well what can I say! Cooker ordered. It is a Thetford (Spinflo) Caprice MK3. We decided to pick it up as we could save £50 off the asking price. We had to travel 45miles but would still save a bit. 

We arrived at Motorcraft Conversions near Doncaster just before lunch. I then made a big mistake! The cooker was loaded into our car still in its protective cardboard box and we zoomed back up the motorway to Ripon. We didn't check it! Epic fail!

We got the cooker onto our boat. It is about 26kg. So quite heavy and awkward to move. We opened the box and low and behold it was the wrong colour. We wanted a black hob and we got stainless! The front was grey but there were a couple of marks on the chassis. We were not happy! Why did I not check it?!

A quick call to Motorcraft and they said we could bring it back and they would get a new one. Alternatively, they offered us a new one that they had took delivery 2 weeks previously for one of their conversions. It has a black hob but black doors. We zoomed down the motorway once again and once we had seen the black cooker, it was what we wanted. It was loaded into the car and we zoomed back up the road to the marina in Ripon.

By this time we were too tired to start fitting it so left it lying on the cabin floor. Phew. Nothing is ever smooth. Next job -fit the cooker!

The cooker 'asleep' on the floor.
