It may be more comfortable in the bed if you put the small infill cushions on the outside and the wider ones in the middle so you fall down the gaps in the middle.

Thanks for the shout out Mike and Kirsty. We do love our van. We love your van too. The Vantage vans are lovely and we can’t wait to see it in the flesh 😃🚐 Safe travels and hopefully see you in May 😃👍🏻 Trev n Sue

You didn’t look overly happy in that video Mike, your wife looks like she likes it but I’m not sure you are 100% convinced…. We are loving the Bolero by the way. You have made us think about setting up our own channel and continuing the Bolero adventures! Alistair

We’re so glad you are settling in to your new to you van. Bianca was built to our specification and we collected her in January 2019 and drove home to Scotland, outrunning the snow by the skin of our teeth. Unfortunately, we had to sell her back to Vantage as health concerns made it impossible to keep and enjoy our beautiful Neo. Catriona cried all 220 miles of the way home but Vantage had delivered a stunning flower arrangement which was sitting at the back door when we arrived back home. Enjoy your travels and say hello to Julie, Ben and Dave when you see them.

Great update, glad you both made the right decision 👍👍

That was really interesting. I like the look of the van conversions and when I collect my van I might buy a set of those BF Goodrich tyres! I think they look great. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Great points to ponder there. Roll on the summer. 👍 Graeme

We changed from a 7.4mtr Bailey Autograph Approach 6 birth , to a ih 6.3 N class , and within a couple of days we knew it was the right decision, as you say a little more planning but it soon becomes second nature, and over half the stuff we use to take we never used anyway , we are happy and that’s all that matters in the end , keep going with the videos, cheers Graham

Great video. We love watching you two. We have a rear lounge motorhome and I have to make the bed up. We have two single 77cm wide Duvalay’s and they are brilliant. Making the bed up is so much easier and a nice ‘built in mattress’ very easy storage. Be great if our paths cross on a campsite one weekend. 🥂🍻

[@caligetaway2548]

Great video. After seeing your videos we made a bee-line for Vantage at the NEC last weekend and were really impressed! Looks like you've made the right decision and looking forward to seeing more of your adventures 👍

Fab vlog guys! We are thinking of

[@terrymoreland3814]

Glad you like your van & great review, was a little worried when Kirsty described the problem about using the toilet & you said "let me demonstrate" lol

[@mariamullins9332]

Very interesting video, thank you I am sure it will help a lot of people 😀 👍

A good in depth review. I previously had a 4-berth coach built moho with my husband with a fixed bed, shower, oven, microwave, etc. and as you know am now solo in my VW Transporter conversion. It’s perfect for one now that I’ve got clever with storage and only taking what I need. When we had the moho we took way more than we needed because we could. If it was still the two of us I’d go for a van conversion this time, about the same size as yours. Thanks for sharing, Sue.

[@ruthkirby9277]

Kirsty definitely looks comfortable in your van🙂. We have 2 duvalay sleeping bags which also have a mattress topper in them which we had from our previous van. They roll up and roll out quite easily to make bedding making less of a chore but not sure where they will go in the new van (similar to yours) during the day yet. Great to hear how you are getting on with the new van layout. I bet it will be fabulous in the summer😀. Regards Ruth

Roll on the summer. Your bed is so easy to make up. Take care Gill
