Thank you!! 😊. X
Great vlog guys, just watching as getting ready to go out in sunny Egypt 😎😎 take care love Tony and Cas xx
Have the best time away!! Not jealous at all haha xx
We had the grounding issue😢 spent £3500 on air suspension, brilliant never had an issue since ❤
Thank you for the advice ;-) x
Glad to see you out again that was funny Steven Sea Gull This was very entertaining! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed ha ha xx
Having air suspension fitted to a van can allow vehicle to be lifted on the rear to make it a bit more graceful on those awkward ramps at some campsites or when getting on/off ferries. Looks like you had a nice time, and thankfully the weather allowed for the children to be outdoors.
Thank you for your recommendation and will look into it very soon anything to avoid hitting the bottom x
Great to see you back and watching the kids having so much fun great vlog ❤
Thanks so much 😊 xx
Great to see you guys out and about again! Consider Airide by Puncture Control for rear air suspension assistance if yours is a leaf sprung. It’s been a game changer for us 👍🏻
Thank you guys appreciate the heads up xx
Ah, brilliant fun x
So lush of you to say xx
Lovely to see you guys out and about again 😊xx

Hi..I have those coffees, I bought a little battery whisk off temu no more lumps, great to see you guys 😊
Haha amazing I should get one! Thank you means a lot xx
Nice video . , make me laugh when you said "got bacon and sausage for breakfast, although might save the sausage" next clip is Stu cooking the sausage 😂 👌. That MH is a beautiful beast!!
Haha yes 🙌 thank you for that he ate them all xx
Great weekend 👍
As always
Ah, well done Oliver for not chucking everywhere 🤢 And well done Amelia for wanting to go again 😂 And a last well done to Dexter for giving away some of his winnings 😎 we can't believe how strong his accent is getting 😮
Ahh thank you so much guys means a lot xxx
Hi guys great video
Thank you 🤗
Been to Gateway many times. Great weekends down there for the 6 nations 🍻🏴💪🏽 Looks like the kids plus Stu the big kid enjoyed too 😂😂
Haha it was fun to be fair x
Glad we are not the only ones that ALWAYS forget something 😉
Looks like you need to get hydraulic suspension to raise the back end and save the bus from damage, lot of overhang on the back end bet your nerves are shot seeing them entry points
Haha yes always forgetting stuff and then forget it once it’s been replaced too guaranteed! Yes a few have suggested them so will definitely give them a try thank you so much xx
This park look amazing 😊 glad you had the best weekend
It has so much to do for the children and it’s cheap! Xx
@@TheRollingRucks it looks really good I’m gonna have a look at it
It’s a little wild at times but fun x
@@TheRollingRucks nothing wrong with a bit of wild tho lol defo gonna have to look into this one thanks 😀
Great to see the team back on the road again, although the campsite after checking some reviews seems to be a bit ropey at best😮
Keep the Vanology stuff coming too 👍
Hahaha it’s a bit wild but it’s what you make it haha great with friends xx
Lovely to see your family back on the road. I really miss your vlogs.
Are you going on a massive long Europe trip for the kids summer hols?
Think you need air suspension though on your beautiful motorhome. It’s a stunner but is very low.
Yes we definitely need to do some upgrades that is something on the list. Yes we are going on a tour but sticking with France (well you never know)! Xx
Cant you get air assist for the rear axle just for steep accesses and ferry ramps ? , happy travels
Thank you will look into it xx
What is that pop up tent looks cool
We bought it from the Warner show x
Speak with the roaming radfords, the have some lifts fitted to stop them bottoming out on ramps
What is the pop up tent/gazebo you have? 😊
We bought it from Alan at the Warner show x
Definitely need the assit air bags on the back ,with the large over hang .even for going on and of ferries.
Oh no we won’t have time before our ferry trip in two weeks haha xx
You should visit Duinrell in Holland, your kids would love it
That sounds fab will look into it x
I’ve gotta say it… Preemark?! Preemark?
It’s Primark up our way! 😂
😂😂😂
Primani in Yorkshire
Haha 😛 x
Air suspension is the answer then you can lift it when needed 😊
Thank you that’s one for the upgrades list x
@@TheRollingRucks I am sure Stu with his skills could fit it himself too. Bonus content 😜😜
Haha it’s having the time to book him in 😂
Put your foot down 😜
Sadly not enough site cater for folks with larger units, come on sites these people want to use your sites so start facilitating them, their money is as good as anyone else
That’s true maybe a trip to America would suit us better haha c
Suggest fitting grounding wheels from LNB TOW BARS in Bristol ✌️😎
Thank you xx
You need to put some assist airbags on the back and some decent skids
Thank you will look into that x
That is massive. We thought we’d give big moving up to 6.4 m campervan 😂
So Starlink. Two question my luvlies. How much power does it pull from the power station? And did you try your Europe roam in Morocco to see if it still worked?
lol yes she’s a big girl but so nice and comfortable only if we could find her some nice spots now!
Ha that’s a guy question … calls Stu…. Xx
@@TheRollingRucks I’ll come back to you for the best pornstar martini in Benidorm at some point then :)
I think M&S is cheaper than Primark now adays and much better quality, enjoyed the video
Thank you that means so much xx
It’s nice to have a long one but sometimes it’s a bad decision 🙁
Yea she is big xx
Yes
Ha fair comment c
Yes it might be but , surely the campsites should update their grounds rather than them be allowed to not do anything and continue to make it difficult for big, long Motorhomes. It needs Motorhome owners to have a right go at these membership and private ones
Europe is steer we’re heading let’s see if they are cool with larger ones otherwise what’s the point? Xx
Nice to see you guys back, Amelia has changed so much since your previous videos… has it been that long?
You guys are the most relatable, down to earth people I know, please don’t be strangers ❤️ 🥰
Thank you for being so lush that means a lot to us .. we are going to Europe in two weeks and can’t wait to spend some quality time in the van xx
👍👍
Thank you 🤩
What a great vlog, looked like you all had the best time. Looking forward to the next vlog..❤
Thank you xx
Did not know about that park and my daughter lives along the road at Gowerton !
Glad to share xx
I think primarks quality has improved.
Yes you may be right there x
🙏❤️👍

How long is the van. My dad's is 9m long six berth
Bought it in 2019 he is due an upgrade and wants to downsize what do you recommend ?
Hi yes ours is 9m also, seems a bit big for most places for access and camping pitches xx
Is there no way to fit air bag in middle of axil just to rase back end at low speed
I believe it can be done as a few have mentioned it now so should be something we will look into xx
You going to Rob and lyns do later this month?
No we won’t be here xx
Im your kids friends im lyncon
Hiya x
whats that company u posted in of u u tube vidios u at a showw standy show from sotland u bought a manegti chagers i would appriahte the link get on for samsung a14 hope all ok wthu tristan west wales love the vidioes
Ooh sorry can’t remember tbh hope you are all good xx
This comment is not really for you but for the designers of your campervan.. Why didn't they add an wheelbase axel closer to the end of your campervan.. it would literally remove all bottoming out problems. any time you have a vehicle that has part of the frame sticking out too far from a back wheel it will always cause bottoming out problems.. adding a single wheelbase axel closer to the back like I said literally gives the back more lift and protection from the frame hitting the ground..
Thank you and yes makes sense x
Hi nice to see you back! What’s happened to your dog?? I❤
Thank you she’s living with a couple in Lincoln x
Bigger is not so much better!!we go rid of our winnebago chieftain because we couldn't go to certain campsites but you will find a happy medium soon??And stop putting on stu making him cook all those breakfasts poor dab will be worn out😂😂😂❤❤
Haha you know us! We have always got something up our sleeve… haha he can manage a bacon bap once in a while ahah xx
Best vloggers by far, great to see you all out and about again.
Your A class is amazing, you just need rear air suspension added for a few K.
Can I ask where you purchased the pop up awning from and the brand of it too please 😇😊
Ahh you are so lush to say that thank you means a lot, we thought about giving it up tbh.
Will do and the pop tent was from the Malvern type shows x
Motorhomes and caravan manufacturers are over focusing on providing a large garage or internal space, that they are not using common sense and building in a proper upward cut-off to improve the departure angle on their models that have a substantial overhang. Motorhomes and caravans are first and foremost road going vehicles and this is being forgotten in the manufacturers' desire to build leisure vehicles with a design that will fly off of the dealer forecourt. I honestly think that they are shooting themselves in the foot by doing this as the inconvenience and stress that owners experience will hamper repeat purchases.
You could be on to something there, the back could have been raised up a bit 🤏 will look into some air bags see if that helps x
There has to be a better van 🥺
We are doing a van build soon x
No that a mid size
Haha 😛
Sorry to say but I think it is mate you’ve just Gotta go to Europe that’s all this country is rubbish with the weather anyway
Cannot wait!! Literally 12 days and counting xx
Handsome couple 😊
Ahh lush of you to say that x
It’s way to long
That’s what she said!
