    I truly don't have a clue how this video ended up in my 'recommended' list, less still why I watched it! Nonetheless, pleased for you both and the clear enjoyment your new caravan is bringing you, and may I wish you many happy memories in the years to come of using it on your travels...

    Enjoy your new caravan and your travels. I hope you have plenty of covers on seats Etc, as All labs seem to shed hair, whether copper/black/ golden. And nothing changes with that breed, they can sniff out food getting their noses in where it shouldn't be.
    Your layout is what we had in our old caravan. If your careful with fluids, there's no problem when emptying the cassette if you have an awning up. The plus side is not getting wet when raining taking it out and re-inserting it. apart from walking to/from Eslan point.
    After many years we have changed to a Swift Challenger 560, with a longitudinal island bed, which we both find it easier to get in and out of bed. And a central bathroom.
    Both layouts means if you have visitors/friends, you can shut off the bedroom/toilet area, But in our case, daughters can have a shower/get washed Etc in private.

    • @MacSarah
      @MacSarah  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Kevin, thanks for watching and leaving us a comment! Yes all those lovely things that come with having a Labrador 😂 We have indeed ordered some seat covers!! Ah the Challenger 560 is a fine van!! Sounds like it's the perfect layout for you!
      Thanks again and all the best

    Congratulations and many happy memories in Trailer Swift, great name. Sussex Caravans are a great dealership we’re on our fourth caravan from them. Layout is very personal we went from two berth to fixed twin beds and back to two berth plus dinette (Coachman Ashington based on VIP 520) as we much prefer the extra lounge space and making the bed up is not an issues for us. Looking forward to seeing more of your vlogs.

    • @MacSarah
      @MacSarah  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    @BusyElf 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Great to see the new 'van in action. and yes there's lots of mods to make it even better. as mentioned there's a clear plate to attach over the fridge display/touch pad, we did this and it's brilliant. also some LED spotlights instead of the 'under the locker' lighting at the front. We might ever do them over the fixed bed too at some stage. we have a small awning that doesn't fit right to the end of rear of the van so the toilet/cassete is easily accessed. something like a Dometic 260 would be fine. Glad you're loving the new van. We aren't thinking of changing ours anytime soon. it works great for us and hope you have many days/nights in it too.

    Lovely caravan guys❤. Sarah, for Mac's birthday, buy him a drill and corner steady extension socket ( if he already doesn't have them) - makes raising and lowering the steadies a doddle.
    Looking forward to more touring videos.
    Give Dozer and pat and a hug from us and take care.

    • @theonlywoody2shoes
      @theonlywoody2shoes 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Fully support this suggestion. Even if Mac already has a cordless drill, one from Lidl/Aldi with a small (2Ah) battery is perfect for the van and doesn’t cost the earth. We have one (Lidl Parkside brand) for our van.
      My garage looks like a Makita showroom (avid DIYer) but the Parkside drill was less than £35 for the drill, battery and charger - these all live in the van so you are never without them, especially the charger!
      Also you will learn what setting to use on the drill’s “screw” clutch, so you just wind the corner steady down roughly level, and finish it to the clutch setting - never too hard or wobbly, and after a few days you can retighten to the same setting if things settle a little.
      Great suggestion, and using the German discount stores you get something with a 3 year warranty that doesn’t break the bank.
      Congrats on the new van.

      When we got out first caravan years ago,the person we bought it from advised us not to put any tinned food or anything heavy in the top cupboards cos if one dropped out accidentally it would very likely chip the kitchen counter.Happy travels in your lovely new van!

    I love my dealer special, although a different dealer, it has all of the same features. I purchased a little sea through cover off of eBay for the fridge controls, it attached with Velcro so easily removable should you need to make any adjustments. It only cost a couple of quid and it’s stopped us from accidentally changing the settings. We’ve used our caravan all through the winter and found that if you just leave the bathroom door ajar slightly the heat gets in there no problem. Enjoy your new caravan and can’t wait to see all of the adventures you have in it.

    • @MacSarah
      @MacSarah  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Leanne 🙂 the dealer specials are great aren't they? Definitely going to get one of those covers for the fridge 🤣
      That's a good tip about leaving the door ajar a bit!

    We also have a dealer special and you mentioned about extending the heater into the toilet/shower this was one of the first things I did, you just need to buy a T piece to fit behind the bed outlet using the piece you remove to fit behind the new outlet you fit in the toilet plus a metre of heater pipe which if you talk to your dealer they might just have a piece knocking around to give you. Mac said he was the chef, well I was actually a chef and I fitted a shelf at the bottom of the wardrobe to take tins at the bottom and packet stuff on the shelf itself. I also felt that with the heater in the toilet compartment I wanted more hooks to hang towels and wet coats on, this I solved with a Kampa jack hanger which I took the end caps off taking 2 of the hooks and putting them through the 2 vent slots in the shelf in there these are actually fitted back onto the hanger but face the opposite direction. I just love tinkering so there are a few more bits I’ve done so if you would like to send me a message I’ll send you the photos of how these look.

    • @MacSarah
      @MacSarah  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi there Jim! Thanks for watching and for all the great tips. I'm fairly certain that we'll make the heating alterations so good to hear your experience with it. We've now got a little cover for the fridge controls and a nifty hanging storage thing which is great 👍
      Thanks again for watching and leaving us a comment. All the best

    Love watching your videos and adore Dozer. Lovely new caravan. Like you we bought a new caravan last year and like you found not as much cupboard space for storage, we found that although loads of storage under beds and sofa, it was quite heavy to keep lifting several times a day, so what we do now is we have converted the locker that opens out into our awning into a larder. It's amazing how much you can get in there especially the dog food ect. Looking forward to watching your adventures this year ❤

    • @MacSarah
      @MacSarah  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Julia, oh that's lovely, thank you!! Oh that sounds very interesting and a great adaptation! It's all about our individual needs and how we use the space isn't it? I'm sure we'll settle on our own little hacks over time too.

    I've been watching these types of videos for a a few years. Everyone tries to do a great job with lighting, speaking (not too much rambling), sound quality, hero shots, b-roll, etc. and I must say you two have won the prize. I really felt like I was watching an episode of HGTV or something (those design makeover shows, and I loved the BBC versions too! Yes a US cit. here). Aside from that, your old caravan looked lovely and very well cared for too (wish I could have bought it!), and the new one is really lovely. Your nickname for it is hilarious and cute! I have been seeing more UK-area videos and their vans and I am starting to think yours are better! In any case, very well produced, super informative and I wish you many fun trips. As this is 5 months after your purchase, I'm sure you've had many already!

Yes it's so interesting how UK and European caravans are different to US ones. Typically they're smaller of course but design wise they are both unique from each other

    Well, it looks fab you cannot beat a fixed bed, caravanning is so much easier and dozer looks like he loves it that makes it all worth while. If the fix bed ever feels like you’d like to make it 4 inches longer drop me a line. I have a small hack to make it feel bigger. Enjoy your new caravan, wonderful Gary

    Not had time to watch it all but one thing for sure you will love not having to make the bed up each night. We bought a coachman coming up two years ago, four berth doible dinnete, first couple weeks was all fun as new toy but soon got fed up making the bed, it was either change the van or give up vanning, we changed the van to a fixed bed and what a difference the whole thing made. good luck with the van.
    Will watch the rest of the video later on today if i get time.
    Congrats to you both and your channel has done so well.

    Hi both and Dozer. Love watching you guys and so glad you love your new van. Trailer Swift is an amazing name too. We have a similar draining board in our Coachman Lazer but I can highly recommend a Joseph Joseph one which also drains into the sink but has a pop up plate rack on it so that plates and bowls etc can drain without falling over. It’s one of the best things we have bought for our van. Love from Amanda and Paul.😊

    We did the same last year traded in our 2 birth Compass Corona as we didn't like having to make the bed nightly and pack it away again in the morning. Our Sprite 4 is also a dealer special called Daresbury from Leisure Sales in Sandbach. Our only issues are the lack of the set of draws in the front and also the pull out table. Also the shorter front seats are getting a while to get used to. All in all though were very happy the fixed bed makes all the difference.

    Hi Mac and Sarah,
    Lovely to see the new van, and you seemed really happy with it,
    We have a dealer special of the same van, we moved from a 2 berth and yes the fixed bed is a must now.
    If you are like us, you will keep moving things about for the first few trips, but we are now sorted.
    Under bed storage, we have put in some non slip mats to stop things sliding about whilst travelling.
    We have also changed the little spots above the bed for directional dimmable spots with usb ports built in.
    The fridge you can get or make a little perspex cover that sticks with velcro over the controls stops it changing everytime you brush past it.
    In the wet room we added a battery powered sensor light for night time use.
    Hope these tips help.
    Happy travels and enjoy the new van.
    Take care all,
    Paul and Joanne 👍 😊.
