＊This is an article translated into English from one I originally wrote in September 2024.
I’ve been quite busy with car-related issues recently!
- The significant delay in the delivery of my Mercedes-Benz AMG-SL, which I ordered in April.
- The replacement of my beloved Dethleffs camper van.
As for the first issue, it seems to have settled down last week, and now it looks like the delivery will happen in the week of the 25th. When I visited the dealer, I saw my actual car, which was still awaiting maintenance, but my family and I got to see it! There are some related articles, so feel free to check them out!
Regarding the second issue, it couldn't really be settled until the first one was resolved. Although I was progressing somewhat in parallel, it was moving a bit slowly.
As I mentioned in the previous article, I decided to hand over my current beloved Dethleffs camper van before receiving the new one, which meant I had to prepare for that. Basically, it meant I had to clear everything out of the van.
“Unload all the belongings from the camper van!!” It’s a daunting task for any camper van owner, and I spent about 20 hours over the past couple of days under the scorching sun, being cautious of heatstroke, and getting bitten by mosquitoes.
One of the enthusiastic readers of this blog asked me, “Won’t you feel lonely living without a camper van if you let it go first?” Well, honestly, yes, I think I will! Plus, this blog mainly features articles about the camper van, so not having one might be a bit ironic.
But I can write about the new camper van, and I have plenty of stories I’ve been saving up. So, I plan to keep the blog going with that content!
Now that the clearing out is done, I successfully handed over my beloved Dethleffs camper van today, marking a significant milestone! But I was nervous; I didn’t want to scratch it during the last 100 meters of driving. Once I decide to part with something, I want to execute it quickly; that’s just how I am.
