Your English accent is really easy to understand for me (a French guy trying to save money on my campervan services 😊) I'm just wondering why you did not change the washer on the screw at the bottom?

    I changed the oil after watching this video. I waited till the oil stopped draining. When refilling it only took 5 litres to reach the full level (I've checked this several times). This has me wondering if all the oil has drained. A concern I had at the time was that since the van was on ramps (I have the same ramps) at the front, it was not level, and so some oil would remain and not flow out. So now I'm not sure what to do. Do I have a mix of 1.5 litres of old oil and 5 litres of new oil ?

Is there a technique or do I just need to pull very very hard? Thanks again.

    In the 1960s we used to approach the way you did with our towed outfit, the site was a grass field with a toilet block centrally positioned, with showers, toilet emptying and washbasins. No electric hookups or hardstandings. The warden had the usual garden shed office from which he organised daily milk and newspapers, delivered to the van at quiet times, otherwise to be collected. There was gas available on site, too. Used to love an early walk to the sea front into Sutton along the sea front then back for breakfast, I was early teens then & my parents work meant we could come here Saturday evening to Sunday once every couple of weeks or so. Easter was always a challenge in a 9ft Sprite 400 with just a 2 ring cooker and gas lighting. I remember the big ‘derelict’ house when it looked at it’s best. And when we first used to visit the railway still ran past the site as well!
