I like how the car is pulled by the van
I have enjoyed many of your Videos and scrolled back to watch this one. Jenny, I love you !!! ''It's live when we are recording it''. Something my mum would say. Bob, your face was amazing, just as my dads would have been !! If you keep filming, I'll keep watching. Informative, entertaining and relaxing to watch. Thank you both x
Another great video. Very informative. I love how Jenny knows exactly where she is going when you are travelling and can remember each turn from the last time you were in that area, brilliant 😊
Never seen an A frame tow car up close, great information
Thank you Jenny . Very much appreciated.
Thanks again Bob and Jenny for sharing .Look forward to the next one
Very good and informative video thanks guys,😁😁🐕look forward to your next installment
Another interesting video, thnks Bob... two thumbs up from Faye for side-stepping that urinal !!!
Downunda - Class C owner Melbourne Australia
I did try. Lol.
Really enjoyed that, lots of useful info! Really love the look of the Brecon club site too, thanks for sharing guys 👍🏻
We are visiting that site later in the year and I may but an extra waste pipe. I have 5 already! Hope that's enough for most sites. Great video.
I don’t own a caravan/ motorhome, I find all this set up interesting! Closest thing I get to this is a static caravan break!
Hopefully in the distant future I’ll probably own a motorhome!
Hi, Another great video Bob & Jenny. Very informative as always.
Another interesting video glad poppy is ok
Excellent stuff as always Bob 👍
What a lovely park and dog walk 👍😃
Nice set up
that look bob when jenny was explaining your live when you film.. very funny.. sorry jenny, you knew what you meant 😂
Great informative video, liked the A frame and how you displayed the steps to remove it, just looking at what we need now lol
Thanks.
love these guys, very good advice watch you every day, thanks for sharing your videos
Thank you
How spooky. Thanks for the mention and link. We were parked on the two pitches to your left in front of you last week. I lost my towaframe wedge between Brecon and home so I will have to purchase a new one. Great doggie walk. The 3 Horseshoes pub is nice posh nosh and a bit pricey but dog friendly. On a wet day the caves is a good place to go but not sure about dogs. Have a great week. Abergavenny has a lot of roadworks in the town centre at the moment. We loved our stay in the area. 😄 Trev n Sue
well heck you were 10 miles up the road from me. Nice part of the planet
Like the new toilet music bob. Xx
Thanjs I thought it was better than the Fatback Band who where playing in the toilet! Lol.
A nice video i think poppy is looking for a beer
Great helpful tips if you get time go visit the caves I know dogs can go in the park but there is a amazing Cathederal cave in there
Thanks we will if we get time.
Another great video Bob and Jenny and the beautiful pups. Very informative. I’m a new subscriber and love all your tutorials. Jenny is a fabulous sat nav to you. Well done Jenny x
Thanks for subscribing, hope you enjoy.
a lot of road noise from near traffic roads. great video
Hi Bob and Jenny, Love the Brecon site been there a few times and the dog walk is about the best on site one we have found though don't forget the assault course is compulsory (though make sure you try it before the pub visit which is dog friendly by the way), not sure if you are still there now but if so and you cross the dual carriageway to get to the canal tow path if instead of going into Brecon you turn right at the bottom of the steps and go underneath the bridge there is a lovely walk to a Lock and if you continue on by crossing the country lane then after a few hundred yards you will get to the Aqueduct where the canal crosses the river giving some glorious views. there is also a quite steep path down to river just after you cross the lane and before the aqueduct if you want to see it from underneath.
Thanks, we will try that before we leave. It's been chucking it down today, so we've been taking it easy.
Its well worth the walk, its about a mile from the bottom of the steps to the aqueduct (over the river Usk I think) and I think the road you cross just before it is the B4558 (I think but don't quote me on it)
You passed your setting up test lol Maybe an in depth look at each bit of kit - blue water hose is food grade, why mirror covers are used and the benefits of a silver screen all in one video. Keep the videos coming
Thanks, all good ideas.
Hi Both, Thank you for sharing a lovely vlog with you arriving at Brecon Beacons club site 👍 Please can u tell me what u thought of the Overall site it would be very much appreciated thank you so much all the best Lin 👍❤️
It was two years ago, I can't remember too much about it, it's a typical large caravan and Motorhome Club site. If you watch the video afterwards where we went to Brecon cathedral, you'll get a better idea.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo HI Both, Thank you so much for taking the time to read & Reply back to me it was very much appreciated I will go & have a look at the Suggested video once again thank you so much all the best to u both Lin 👍❤️🐕
Great video bob as always. Just wondering have you ever toured Cornwall ? We are off down there next week can you recommend any sites please ?
Stephen Bond we are going to Cornwall in July staying at Trewethett Farm CMC where we have been before. Terrific coastal views. We have also stayed at Treamble Valley CMC site which is quieter but a very nice site.
Another great video both but the hassle of towing a car I.e attaching /detaching would certainly convert me to car and caravan. We are motorhomers and would prefer the inconvenience of spending an extra 10/15 mins looking for a 7metre + parking spot. You are such a brill team,love the vlogs . Thanks for sharing.
ps the Zulu War v Borderers museum are just up the road which is very interesting !
Thank you, but I have to say, It takes me about 10 minutes to hook up the car and then we have the convenience of not packing up the motorhome to go out, so I guess it evens out time wise. Also I don't spend any extra time looking for 7m plus sites, the vast majority of club sites cater for up to 8m vans.
Excellent video both. Wondering why you chose a motorhome / car towing and not a caravan towed by a car ? Did you find the adjacent dual carriageway rather noisy ? The nearby Brecon Museum has lots of interesting info on the Zulu Wars plus the canal is a great place for dog walks.
Thanks for showing us the setting up demonstration. All the best.
There are many reasons we went for a small towed car, which I've probably covered in previous videos;
th-cam.com/play/PLUi3rqw12j2q2q4KYGAnvYgnTiWI0cdiL.html
But I guess it's about flexibility, we have a motorhome when we want to travel flexibly and stop where and when we want as in Scotland, the Lakes and Europe. We can stay on pitches longer and not worry about parking in towns or indeed Welsh Lanes if we take a small car. The small car and motorhome fit on our drive, where I doubt a decent sized caravan and large tow car would not. When we are home we have an economic run around.
Thanks for the info about the area and no, the noise from the dual carriageway hasn't bothered us so far apart from the odd lunatic on a motorbike with chimneys for exhausts!
Hi Bob,have you done a video on hitching the car onto the A frame,thanks Steve.
I have a whole playlist of videos on the A Frame! Here's one of them: th-cam.com/video/XQKFw5j0pT4/w-d-xo.html
Hi Bob,
Sorry about your eye appointment,but just to keep you active can I ask about the awning cover that looks like it runs along the length of your van please. Looks great bit of kit to stop any wild life or pops escaping under the van and also makes your tunnel area more private.
Thanks 🍻 🐧🐧
I can't remember where I got the awning skirt, but most caravan shop will have them, I have to stick it on with suckers as there is no rail at the bottom on a motorhome.
Hey Bob. Was the traffic noise as intrusive as it sounds on the vid?
No not really, I was having issues with microphones at the time and had the gain turned up too high.
Hi boab , it's been a while , glad you and jessie are keeping well , a little tip for you , you may already know about it , ACF-50 , it's for applying to anything metal to prevent rust , it was developed for aviation, I use it on my motorbikes to prevent the salt and winter crud from eating my bike away , it's amazing stuff , check it out on TH-cam, anyway another good video , thanks
Yes, maybe I'll try that, seen it on The Missenden Flyer channel. Thanks.
Very neat A frame set! I find it interesting as you have to change plates. It almost doesn't make sense as the car is registered on its own? Have you tried a bicycle luggage elastic on the steering wheel... It will keep the car straight if you need to reverse short bits if needed. Going forward and turning, the elastic stabilize the steering more. Did you have the steering lock removed or do you keep a second key in the ignition? Thanks Nice video.
Good tip about the elastic. Hadn't thought about that. You have to put a number plate on, as the car becomes a trailer. I have a second key in the ignition to stop the steering lock coming on. You turn the ignition on, then off. Thanks for watching.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo We tow a lot of cars to the workshop with a A frame. Just hook the elastic left corner underneath of the driver seat, once around the bottom of the steering wheel and down to right corner of driver seat. Not too tight. Do a quick reverse test... and ready to go. The other advantage of the elastic is going at angle over speed bumps in caravan parks. It will prevent the first wheel touching the bump first to turn the steering rack.
Sorry to message again. My English is very poor and 3rd language. You have to "play" a bit the the bicycle elastics to get that perfect tension. Not too little not too much. It depends on the lengths they are available in the UK. Meaning, you might have to use 2 to get it "perfect". Ask your wife to look at the front wheels hitting a speed bump at a angle. With and without it. See that the steering rack don't "knock" or force but go through even... same with reverse test.
@@fiatunonewsletter6782 Your English is good. I will try what you say, thanks.
Bob what sat nav do you use please do
This one th-cam.com/video/ezuzf1Ycc6I/w-d-xo.html
Hi there, what length is your EHU cable please? Have you ever found it to be too short? Many thanks.
It a standard 25m the only times we found it too short were 2 sites in Belgium (Blaarmeersen) and Germany, (Rudeshiem an Rhein) we were always told to take an extra lead when going into Europe. Never had a problem in the UK.
Bob Earnshaw thank you.
Wouldn't it make sense to drive the motor home on to the pitch forward when struggling for length on pipes and what not. Then it would be shorter runs on the pipes and cables.
The waste pipe is on one side and the fresh water is on the other side, so one might reach and the other might not. Besides we prefer to reverse in.
well that's your prerogative Bob and Jenny don't let anyone else influence you. 😁
I understand that all vans have to be reversed in,caravans also
@@julietebbs4432 not always, if the view is good then you may ask the warden if you can face the other direction. Such as is the case at Bunree where you can look out over the loch.
hi bob please excuse my ignorance ive just bought on older motorhome its a mercedes compass long story but ive spent all year repairing everything as i got ripped of on ebay but all good now i just wanted to ask why you dont just use the awning that pulls out from the van i am sure theres a very good reason but i got sides that fit onto my wind out awning and the front never even tried it yet but i notice you always go for the inflatable awning the only reason i can think is it weight i am hoping to get away on friday for the first time and thanks to you and your good lady i hope i am all prepared thank you both for all the great advise just one more thing what does lan stand for on arrival i notice on all your vlogs you park there before you go to check in many thanks allen
Thanks for the questions. I do use the roll out canopy when we don't want to put the awning up. Useful for quick stops, keeps the sun shaded. Not sure what you mean with the Ian, we follow the signs for new arrivals Lane?
@@BobEarnshawMoHo Hi thanks for the reply bob sorry my mistake it is the NAL lane and you just answered my question glad your eye op went well happy hols
And........breath x rest 😉
Where did you get those extendable waste pipes from
There's a video about them and the link is in the description. th-cam.com/video/h4KbFpfMzmA/w-d-xo.html
Here's the link colapz.co.uk/products/flexi-waste-pipe-kit
Hi Bob please could you PM me as I'm very interested to know about your towing frame as I also have a VW Up! Which I plan plan to tow behind my VW California
Kind regards
Darren
To drive a motorhome with an attached car what category of driver license need?
You best watch this video th-cam.com/video/VYG2rY6HegQ/w-d-xo.html
You quite often mention a compass for a satellite signal have you ever shown this please.
It's just a map reading compass.
Ok thanks I wondered if it was a gizmo that pointed to where the satellite was, Cheers
@@LFH02 No, I just like to know where the satellites are, around 150 degrees, so I don't get trees in the way. My auto satellite dome takes care of setting itself up, if there's a clean line of sight to 150 degrees.
You arrived just as I left...🙁
As we left Shawsmead?
No Brecon...I was there for the Hay festival...I came by a more direct route from Anglesey.
@@anthonyhughes369 I'm still at Brecon, leaving tomorrow.
Bob Earnshaw I hope the border crossing goes OK 😂
Never ceases to amaze me people buy motorhomes because they don't want to tow a caravan then end up towing a car absolute classic
Keep watching then, you might start to appreciate the benefits of towing a small car with a motorhome rather than a caravan with a large car.
I very much doubt that😍😍
