thermomix on holiday

[pumpkin pie]

Have just spent a week away in a caravan park in south australia, only to see a lady washing up her Thermomix in the communal washing area.  How surprised I was, I was too worried to take mine, due to the feet and the sensitive scales, and all the bouncing that goes on in a caravan whilst on the move.  Her husband said they had rigged up a foam box and sponge, for travelling. Will give it some thought next time we go away, (Not that that happens very often)

How easy to start a conversation with a fellow Thermomixer pumpkin pie - she would have been pleased to chat to you too. Is she a forum member?

Pumpkinpie isn't it exciting when that happens? I saw a lady in Kununurra a couple of weeks ago and was very excited. She agreed to be photographed and put on the forum. It was the only time I saw or even heard a TMX.
My TMX has just completed 11,000km in the caravan and still goes great. I actually invested in a carry bag so feel I have no worries carrying it. Take it next time.

Didn't get to ask her JD, as I was on the way to a meeting so didn't have lots of time, and didn't see her again after that, which was a pity.

Cookie, do you carry the TMX in the car or in the bag in the van, we tow our van with a  ute, so not a lot of room for extra in it for carrying other things?

My TMX goes in his bag in the van. We have a big space under our bed and he lives there for travelling. If that's full hie goes beside the bed where he doesn't move around.

I want to know how I should carry my TM in the caravan. Did you sit yours on its feet or on its side? I don't want to do any damage on my precious TM.

Thanks.

I carry mine in the caravan, in a tmx bag, under the bed. I think a bag is worth it as it has little holes for the legs to go in so as to not affect the scales.

Thanks for this info Cookie1 - sounds like I need to get the bag.

I take my thermy regularly down south and is put in the carry bag made especially for it. I have never had any problems (touch wood)

[ambro0]

Thanks Augusta for your response.

We are currently on the Liver Cleansing Diet so will need the TM in the van for our vegie/fruit juice each morning.

DH has just turned over the TM and reckons he can make a pad for it to sit in with cutouts for the three feet out of a foam kickboard. I just checked the official TM website and you can't buy the bag anyway. I think it's a bonus sometimes if you host a demo - is that correct?

Do those of you who travel with your TM take the Varoma also? I'm thinking really hard about this because of all the bits - not that they weigh much.

Thanks in anticipation.

Does anyone know where or how I can buy the proper bag for my Thermomix?
I would prefer the black bag not the green.
There are no bags on the website to purchase.
Thanks

The website would have been my suggestion. Perhaps you could ring HO and ask.
My TMX has done thousands of km. it won't be coming with us this trip as we have no power and the roads are pretty rough. I will be lost without it though.

I bought my bag a couple of years ago from head office in perth and it wasn't a promotional thing. I'm lucky I suppose because it is black, I think the green ones might have come out later. In answer to your varoma question, I always take that with me as well as it really takes up no more room than the thermy itself.
