Wintere tour in Holland

Post by bobassel » Sun Dec 19, 2010 7:40 pm

Hi
Today I took the GPA out for a winter tour in the Dutch winterlandscape!
I had my winterenclosure on the GPA and I enjoyed a wonderfull heated GPA
With a freezing temperature and a lot of snow it was nice and cosy in the closed GPA.
I shut the front intake hatch and both outlet hatches on the outside.
I opened the two hatches at your feet ( early lifting eyes) and the hatch at the top of the dash.
With the four wheel drive I had a good grib on the road and no problems with the snow.
I had the intentions to go for a swim with the GPA but unfortunately the water and the ramp were froozen
A few months ago I enjoyed at the same spot with nice water and sunshine and now the temperature was
30 degr.celcius lower
