Quality caravan vlogging Graham. You have a great approach to vlogs, light hearted and sometimes funny! 🤣 Like the camels feet, the steel pin is far better than the plastic ones we have. The steady locks look fiddly. cheers, Martin
you prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
Nice to see the purchases fitted & installed. I have been toying with the idea of refillable gas bottles for a while. I think i will make the switch this year. I am with you on those steady locks, to much faff with the adaptor. Thanks for sharing
Hi Graham. lol your videos always make me laugh only because i think there''s a lot of tongue in cheek in there. love the caravan. Cheers Paul and Sarah
Hi Graham I have similar locks on my rear steadies. I have an old Autoglym bag the polish and cleaners came in. Cut out the mesh pockets and I keep locking wheel nut adaptor, and similar bits in it. So unlike me to be tidy and organised 😂😂 the bag goes straight in the van when removing locks for hitching up so can’t forget it. Van looks nice 👍
Thanks for watching. I had them on the Bailey as well, so used them for 3 years. They seem to do the job. It doesn't stop ALL black streaks. Someone pointed out in the comments about using it the whole length to keep spiders etc out. That would mean buying 2 and with the tow cover you'd have to take both send off each time you attached it. I'll stick with my way.
Thx for the vid Graham, I’m going to have a look at those Steady Locks. I was waiting for an explosion when you were sorting the gas 🤣sorry. We’ve just got back from a weekend in Wales being a Welshman, hope we All get back to normal soon 👍🏻
Great to see you fitting the new kit on the new Swift. I bought the heavy duty Maypole foot pads with the same metal pin and clip, much better than the plastic ones. I am yet to fit the awning rail protector I bought last March lol.
😂😂😂 Most definitely “quality caravan vlogging” everything that could go slightly wrong did. Loved it... did have to chuckle to myself on several occasions. Shame Motorhome vlogger wasn’t with you... to me, to you 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers Graham Michelle and Andy 🚐😃👋🏼
Thanks for watching, as always. Yeah, if I tried to edit out all the "wrong" bits, I'd be left with about 2 minutes. It's not what you edit out, but what you leave in. Yes, I am absolutely aware that made no sense at all. It was clearer when I thought it 😂 TAXI!
Your so funny. I have the Torpedo locks. Every Little Helps. You need a little patience. The way you form opinion on products are refreshing though. So well done. 👍
When you were fittingthe new feet onto the caravan legs and it states ‘Point in direction of travel). I think you’ll find it’s referring to the direction of travel of the caravan legs; therefore, the arrow needs to point outwards the same way as you fitted them. 🤭 It is ambiguous as the legs move onwards slightly when being put down and outwards when moved upwards. In these cases I’ve always found it best to ask the wife as she’s never wrong!
Hi, you can’t refill gaslight you take the empty and get a new one. I think 10kg is and £50 if you take an empty. Safefill bottles you can refill. They are expensive to buy but cheaper to refill. Graham
Another thoroughly entertaining Video Graham. Always great to see someone who doesn’t take himself too seriously. Btw are you allowed to do more than one a week or is it personal choice?
Thanks for watching. You mean more than one vlog a week? You can do as many as you like. I do one a week as it’s about all I have time/talent for 😂Seriously, they take more time than you’d think 🤔
Graham nice Caravan, can’t wait pick my 650 up. Great you could pick yours up so soon. Received a call the other day from Glossop Caravans saying my one is in just arrived, but can only pick up May 1st. We have to wait for the first batch to be released. Do you no when you’re built was be worth checking the electrical final insulation sigh off in your pack ? This should tell you the final date. Be interested to see what date it is. The gas bottles you fitted can you fill them if you go to France or Spain or is it only the safe fill. Nice one Graham enjoy your caravan soon be able to get out 👍
@@CaravanVlogger that great Graham, last year I ordered 650 elegance said it was 2nd batch cos that what we asked for. Came in just on lockdown then we had to wait couple of months before we could pick it up June had it a week found rear ended damaged tempted repair scratches on windows front deep scratches Rear corner steady had a screw and small bolts into the floor evident damaged. Also chassis alko was started oxidising so it must have been old swift stock. Sigh off was 2019 electrical 2020 caravan? Lucky enough I received full refund got stitched up from the dealership. Dealership said they would sell it on brand new to someone else cos it wasn’t registered with swift even though I had it a week. Just hoping this one okay Graham made up your one fine. I recently contacted Criss registration to make sure the new owner was aware of the caravan history and gave them vin number and said I had supported photos evidence, but they didn’t what to pass on information/ I wonder why ?? But have tried 👍
@@CaravanVlogger meant to say to you Graham did you get your roof vent back when they fitted the air conditioner, you need that if you sell your van in the future.
Excellent video again Graham 😆ordered my gas connector last night for the bp gas I’m now going on eBay to get corner steady feet , is your step the freebie that came with the caravan and if so are you going to keep it 🤔ours comes with one similar don’t know if you get rid of them or upgrade 🤔 did you pop down to Aldi’s today 🤣👍
Thanks for watching. Not didn't get to Aldi. The step is the one that comes with the caravan but we actually use a Milenco Giant step, it's plastic and wider that normal steps, feels a bit safer getting in and out of the caravan. amzn.to/3tW5ttW Graham
Great video, but don’t use washing up liquid to test for gas leaks, it contains a chemical that is very corrosive to brass fittings, if you need to test for gas leaks you can buy leak detection fluid in a spray can from your local plumbers merchant, bubbles up just the same if there is a leak but without the corrosive ingredient.
Great video's Graham. What video editing software do you use and what software do you use to remove the backgrounds from the image overlays that you do?
Time for an update G - I believed some gas 'cylinders' are not available. As a guy in the industry said, its cylinders not bottles - milk comes in bottles not cylinders
2 questions really , why you calling them camel feet ? and how’s the camel going to walk if you have his feet ? Just for the record great work with the spanner Cheers Gav
going to have to disagree with you on the steady locks i give them 9/10 and it's simple to keep the adapter in you're car as it's one of the first things you need when setting up and the alko feet are far better
Tried everything I could think of TBH. Really weird on, we had it once with a previous caravan and it was because it wasn't level. I've checked with a level and it's good.
Just what was needed to end a rubbish Saturday, some decent light entertainment, thanks a lot Graham… 🤪 👍🏻
Thanks for watching Rog, hope you’re well 👍🏻
@@CaravanVlogger All good here thanks Graham… ✅
Lovely van / setup 👌 🍾
Just ordered that gas connection that you showed for the caravan blog
thanks very much for your help 😊
I was looking at the purpline corner locks, thanks for the review
Top quality international bloging.. with a bit of humour.. that's not just a spanner it's a adjustable spanner

Watching you is putting me off buying a new caravan. Looks like hard work.
Hard work Graham😂😂😂
Great summary of accessories. We’ve got the feet with plastic ‘pin’ and can’t help think these metal ones are better..
Hi Graham. Thanks for the review on the steady locks. Thats another frustrating piece of kit off my want list.
Quality caravan vlogging as always 👍
Did you put the Rclip on ??
Thanks for watching. Yes I did 👍🏻
Hi Graham. lol your videos always make me laugh only because i think there''s a lot of tongue in cheek in there. love the caravan. Cheers Paul and Sarah
Thanks for watching. Yes, quite a lot of tongue in cheek, I try to make them entertaining and maybe useful to some! Graham

Hi Graham, yet another great video, I didn't realise that you were a comedian as well , 😂😂 look forward to the next instalment.👍
Thanks for watching. Some say I’m a comedian first and a Caravanner second, not sure they mean it as a compliment though 🤦😂
Brilliant video mate great job jan👍👍👍👍👍
did you ever do the swift/bailey comparison from your last van to this, i cant find it but would be interested to see your thoughts

Hi Graham, is this gas you're using suitable for winter caravaning, cheers mate, great vloging.👍
Thanks for watching. Yes it’s propane gas, which is suitable for outdoor use. Butane on the other hand isn’t 👍🏻
Your so funny. I have the Torpedo locks. Every Little Helps. You need a little patience. The way you form opinion on products are refreshing though. So well done. 👍
Thanks for watching. I’m only kidding, I do it all “as I do it”. The next day I quite like them 😂😂 But sometimes things aren’t quite what I expect

are them gaslight bottles easy to refill and how much is the cost please
Hi, you can’t refill gaslight you take the empty and get a new one. I think 10kg is and £50 if you take an empty. Safefill bottles you can refill. They are expensive to buy but cheaper to refill. Graham

@@CaravanVlogger meant to say to you Graham did you get your roof vent back when they fitted the air conditioner, you need that if you sell your van in the future.

I only use the leg locks on both rear legs . It stops it being jacked up.
Good idea. Unfortunately I can use them on the back as my drive is on a slope I have blocks of wood under back..

Thanks for watching. I use Final Cut Pro to edit and a website called Canva to do thumbnails and background removal
Graham, the awning rail protector 😂 just cut it in half.
Thanks for watching. Of course I’d thought of that 😂 I was initially worried that half might not be long enough. Honest 🙄
very funny vlog
Thanks for watching Brian 👍🏻
Awning rail protected should go all the way down on on both side stop insects nesting in the awning rail,video good
We only use gas for oven

Did you try the fridge on gas to see if it cools?
