    I've had two vans, and they were both self-converted. I'm an ex-builder, and I like things built solidly, with real wood, and not the junk they make vans and motorhomes out of these days. Anything that's mass-produced on a factory assembly line is subpar these days.

    That noise would drive me daft! The build quality is shocking and it does my head in. Those motor homes aren’t cheap. There doesn’t seem to be any quality control at all. How would those workers feel if they had to deal with those avoidable issues? Grrrrr Well done for keeping your cool.I am glad you are highlighting all the issues.

    Hi Chris, it was great speaking to you both at the NEC the other week. Just watching this video and you mentioned the ad blue light coming on when it’s half full. Our Fiat Ducato is exactly the same and it infuriates me. It also doesn’t last as long as our California. Also, I just topped up the oil, and on ours there is no dip stick, just on the dash. If you have the same be aware that the level on the dash may not reflect any additional oil added until you drive about 100 miles, so don’t keep topping up (only 200ml at a time). Have fun on the trip.

    Definitely enjoying you owning the mid life moaning! Your easing into it nicely with an air of peaceful resignation! Its like watching myself. Still getting out and about to do active stuff, but enjoying the quiet roasting of others on campsites from the warm safety of my van (while the Mrs takes the mickey out of you). You even have the same self adhesive stick on anti rattle things that i carry everywhere. You definitely need to carry a comprehensive kit of adhesives, fixings, plumbing parts, electrical connectors etc (and definitely a spare water pump!!).

    Hi Chris,my Chausson did the same with the kitchen splash back ,it’s so annoying but I stopped getting upset and fixed things myself. After 5 years I was still waiting for warranty claims to be resolved by the customer service director ,I currently have 5 to be sorted but I haven’t told them I’ve sold the motorhome,that’s how interested they are.If I didn’t chase them nothing happened, great videos showing we all have the same issues.

    Get some foam backed tape in various depths. Lexus used to use it when they first introduced the LS400 into the UK, they had kits just to remove any unwanted noise from the cabin...it basically cushions any rattles and is invaluable in any coachbuilt motorhome.

    £6 per day + £2 to stay overnight.
    We had the whole carpark to ourselves.
    We love Farquarsons in Braemar. We often go in winter and enjoy a local beer by the log fire.
    A few years ago we were at the CC site in Moffat.
    We met a woman while out for a walk.
    She said "Ah, you're the couple in the dirty Elddis" 😅

    Had an Autotrail for a week. GRP cracks on the roof, returned to dealer. Then an Adria for a year. Good van, clearly better build than the Autotrail and no issues. Finally traded up to a Malibu. No issues in two years and it’s better built than the first two by quite some margin. They all rattle tho… some more than others but it’s a right pain in the rs rattling along our crqp roads. 😅

  • @SnowyAspenHills
    @SnowyAspenHills 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

    A can of expanding foam might help with these loose panels but probably not recommended if you access is going to be required at at some point in the future, just a few blobs would hold it and it maybe removable.
    That trim tape can stick things almost too well sometimes.

    I recently bought an Adamo 754dl. Have nothing but problems, the sky light above the cab whistles really badly at 40 mile plus. The other one lets in the wind and the blind bounces around. The door lets in torrents of rain filling up the window and soaking the blinds. The master switch has been changed once already and still wont work properly. The heating duct came apart, the cooker is missing rubber stoppers, the light under the kitchen cupboards fell out, the floor creaks at certain
    Points, the draughts are awful when the wind blows, the blinds have plastic clips that dont work and fall off. Above the cab the shelfving unit is coming away from the ceiling and getting worse everytime I drive it. The reverse camera stopped working as I drove it off the forecourt. i unplugged it I got a shock. Its finally going in but they wanted to keep it for a week. I complained rather strongly so they will have to see whats needed and it will have to go back. Once it comes back I am changeing it as I dont trust that other things will break or go wrong. Very dissapointed as you obviously are. The electric bed also got stuck half way up and only because I was mad did the mechanic fix it. Lets see how long they take before all problems are fixed. Best to buy used van with low mileage that has all the problems sorted.

    Your van was definitely built on a Friday by an unsupervised apprentice. I bought a compass castaway 20 odd years ago and had to have the bathroom floor replaced twice because the shower pan kept cracking and leaking and the roof leaked into the top cupboards where we kept clothes. There were other issues which I won't go into here but it's very disheartening. Enjoy your channel, keep up the good work. Watching from Orkney

    I agree the build quality of newer vans especially is shocking. As for those who claim German vans are superior, in my opinion they’re all the same, Burstners & Defleffs etc are no better, it’s an industry thing & older vans seem to me to have been better built in many ways. Our current 2019 van isn’t a patch on our previous 2010 model by the same manufacturer for example.

    It may be worthwhile popping into Jewsons and buying a tube of sticks like shit turbo and a chaulking gun and some hand wipes. This stuff is brilliant and bonds / sets in 15 minutes. It sticks to most surfaces. This may be a simple solution to some of your build quality issues. Not that should need too.
