First trip away since September last year amazing to be back out.
We're currently in staying at Hendy CL site in Tywyn for the weekend. Brilliant views and plenty of space for the kids to run wild

Hi all, We have had some really bad news last week my wife unfortunately suffered a miscarriage. The importance of talking and showing emotions

A few photos from our time away and a little play with insta x3 and the One RS 1-inch camera. Unfortunately someone but the cable on wrong, so it didn't stitch properly.

So the kids wanted to have a go at being on TH-cam . We spent 20 minutes in the awning one evening just having a natter. A big thank you to @heyholetstow for coming on the instagram live stream to talk to the boy. He usually takes a while to talk to people so doing these I was really surprised how much he spoke and most of all enjoyed himself. So proud of both of them. #caravaning and #camping ...

Sadly these mirrors don’t come for my car on the EMUK website: when I put in my make, model and year, the only option I’m given is the “Oppi” mirrors, and compared to yours, they look pretty awkward and in my opinion even flimsy, but that could just be my impression and may not be true.
Hi just to add spare parts are very very dear and the postage is ridiculous but they are grate quality mirrors 😭😭
Nice to meet you guys too. (Sound a bit wonky on this, I think your Rode was picking up your neck sounds 😂). See you on a site one day.
That would epic, thanks for that first time I've used that rode to be fair will have a look prob better to clip it lower down
Merry Christmas 🎄
Have just purchased some of these and whilst they are good quality there are no E markings on them. I'm happy to be wrong but I thought that it is a legal requirement to have an E number on towing mirrors in the UK.
In all honesty I have never looked on mine but next time I go to the storage I will have a look. But you are right uk towing mirrors should have an E on them I know they have EMUK on the the moulding but I would assume this wouldn’t count
Hi got a set the fit is amazing so simple to fit quality is first class no vibration grat viability. BUT Very pricey. You get what you pay for
Have a look at the OLPRO air awnings. The 300 is £499. The 420 is £749. And it’s a British company. Happy holidays to all family.
Just bought the same caravan. It’s brilliant.
We have been using these mirrors for 12 months on our XC90 and are well worth the expense.
Loving the singing. Reminds us of our little one. Never stops. 🙂
Nice one mate looks like really nice place there mate great video 👌👌👌👍👍
Thank you, was a great time away can’t wait to get back away again
As you said, you can understand the 8pm cut off. Would you expect Tesco to open the doors for you at 11:30pm when they close at 11pm. Just the same. Maybe try find sites which are closer so you can arrive before the 8pm latest arrival time.
Completely agree as I said it’s not the getting their after 8 was the issue, I wanted to basically clarify if they had late night arrivals etc as it didn’t say on the page where as other places clearly put it on but I have found some sites do have the option but not always on so wasn’t an issue until the warden was rude. In respect to Tesco they are usually polite when the security tell you the store is closing. As I said it wasn’t the not being able to go after 8pm and yes completely my fault but what I don’t expect is rudeness from someone you can say no without rudeness. It was resolved very quickly I cancelled and had a refund and booked someone that could accommodate in the same area and we really enjoyed the stay and must say the site owners were amazing. Although turns out I was panicking over nothing as we arrived at our new site well before 8 as well so didn’t need to change but i thought was better to enquire the day before expecially when the club booking line said just call them when your stuck in traffic so felt it was better to know for certain
Just bought some for my BMW, after having cracked a wing mirror trying to fit Milenco Falcons. Easy ordering and quick DPD delivery from the Netherlands. No more faffing around trying to readjust each time you put them on. Takes a few minutes to fit each one the first time, then a nut keeps them in position for subsequent fitting. They are vehicle and model specific, and are therefore an exact fit around the wing mirror housing. If you order one, look out for the small spanner sellotaped to the inside top of the cardboard box. This is used to tighten the nuts once you are happy with the angle of view from the mirrors. I carefully used a tool with more torque to ensure both nuts were tight...
Hi there. Just watched your review of the Broadband Go SIM card as I’m interested in getting one for the Avtex Wi-Fi system fitted to my caravan. We generally use it for browsing on our iPads etc and streaming on our Amazon Firestick. Could you give me an idea of how many Gb per month I should sign up to? Like you, I will probably upgrade to the unlimited when it becomes available. Thanks for the vlog, Steve
Thanks for watching, we’re on the top package so 10gb per month or 20gb if the previous month has rolled over only one month can roll over. We use this as our backup, we use a three sim as our main general sim and I have ee in my phone. Hope that helps I really do like the broadband go sim it’s a fab idea
@@caravanmatters Thanks for the info, and good luck with the channel.
Yeah so if you go to their website they have sets for most vehicles each set is specific to that vehicle and year so if changing car regularly could become expensive however I think they do just the replacement arms as well
Do they fit most mirrors? Just subscribed to you. Saw your post on Facebook
Looks like a lovely family caravan, just right for you and the family 😊 Are the front seats longs enough to sleep on or will you need to make into a double? Have just subbed so look forward to future videos 😊
Thank you Teresa, so yeah the front seats are long enough to sleep on much bigger than our Alpine 4. However, we will probably still make it up to a bed unless been out and got back late. We are extremley happy with it and suits us as a family really well. Thank you for subcribing I am still learning on how to do the videos but their will be more to come
Looks like a great trip 👍
Thank you it was brilliant shame that it was only three nights though
@@caravanmatters when people think about caravaning, London isn't the first destination that people think of bit goes to show the versatility a caravan provides!
Completely, we have merlin passes this year so trying to get our monies with the two things go hand in hand
Good Morning. You don't need to ask re making your own videos on any subject as Graham said It is your view that counts. We made that mistake too. The Company have informed me that if the Mirror arms are too long they can be cut down to size with a hacksaw. You never know as we both like them Graham might buy some too. Thanks Phil. Ps sorry late reply been away getting some winter sun. Phil🙂👍
Thanks phill got to enjoy some winter sun I’m very much needing a holiday now not too long to wait though picking new van up on the 20th
Used these towing mirrors for the first time today and what a difference to my old mirrors so much easier to get in the correct position no vibration really clear view it made me feel more comfortable knowing I could see clearer
They do look good. BTW never worry about duplicate content. People will want to know what you think about them. I was the same with the Drysparkle review I did. Dan Trudgian and Bob Earnshaw had already done a review of it. But then I thought maybe some people want to know my opinion. In any case, you might not think that they're as good as you thought they were? Just a thought... Good luck with the caravan, look forward to seeing what you think of it..
Thank you for that, to be fair I see your point. Also, thank you for watching its people like yourself that gave me the confidence to do this.
@@caravanmatters You're welcome. I remember when I was starting. It's not easy. You'll love FCPX, there's a bit of a learning curve, but there's plenty on TH-cam about it..
It's good to waffle! Ive yet to try broadbandGo. Bumped into Jose at the NEC and i keep meaning to activate the sim. Shame about the static, but finance wise it sounds like a sensible decision. Its raining here too :-(
Thank you, completely I had a brief chat with him on your Facebook group was really helpful so thought I’d give it a try only went for the 2gb package for use as backup to see what it was like but works really well. I did find I had to manually change the network on the router to a different provider than the one it auto picked but I think that’s because although it was the strongest signal it wasn’t the fastest
