I am having so much fun....

after two years of bothering this community with dozens of questions about my JC, I thought I should share a note from the road about how happy I am to have my James Cook.

It has been a very rainy summer here in Central Ontario Canada.
there have been many overnight downpours of torrential proportions, that I can only imagine would have made tent-camping absolutely miserable.
I would Hate tent camping.

My partner is away for a few weeks and so I took the opportunity to take a solo road trip to northern Ontario - North Bay and Manitoulin Island (which I had never visited)
Yesterday the weather was lovely. but today it is raining and I am reminded of how great it is to travel in a James Cook

as I use everything, I have to smile as I note that all the features are working correctly, even after 20 years (though with a bit of maintenance along the way).
- the water system is back working (after a simple pump replacement)
- the cook top is working (and allows me to sit here with a nice cup of coffee while the rain pelts down on the roof)
- the shower and toilet work
- the fridge works,
- the hot water heater and shower work well (I had a very nice shower after a long bike ride)
- the upper bed is SOOOOOO cozy and comfortable. (and the blackout screens make it so nice and dark)
- the interior lights and new LiFoPo batteries work well
- and I finally have my sliding door back working (well, 99% correctly. the latch needs a small adjustment I think)

It's just all so well designed. I don't think we are used to such good design here in North America (at least I am not)
and, she's fun to drive. she makes me slow down and explore.

that's all for now. many thanks for all the support you have all offered.

Sounds great! It really is such a good design, clearly designed by people who actually know campervans. As much as I love camping, I can’t complain about getting back from a hike and getting some water boiling for a spot of tea and ramen, all with endless headroom (I’m 6’2”). Ontario slightly beats south Wales though

Mine is also just back from some work on the sliding door. Nothing like it flying open while cruising down the highway at 70mph!
