  • After way too long of not taking the opportunity to show you guys my van and it's setup, we finally got round to making a video doing just that.
    Expect more videos in the future that will show you more detailed and specific videos of what it is like to actually live in it.
    The van is a Chausson 610

    Looks like a great van! You seem happy with it overall, and living in it for extended periods is a good test of build quality, as opposed to the odd week's stay here and there. Were you pleased with the build quality and reliability, and would you recommend Chausson for longer trips please?

    • @McTrailRider
      @McTrailRider  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      We didn’t experience any real problems in the year we lived in the van. You would definitely get better quality in some other Motorhomes, but at a higher cost.
      I think Chausson offer some of the best value, which is why I went for it.

      @@McTrailRider Thanks for taking the time to respond. Chausson do seem to be good value and well equipped. I like the Ford base vehicle and the idea of Webasto heating. We have a well regarded medium sized dealer local to us with good after sales which is also important.

    Love this video. Exactly the model of van I’m looking at for a European tour of festivals. The internal storage space in the bathroom and garage for bikes was what influenced our thinking. Love the kitchen shelf mod you did too. Looking forward to seeing more of your travels and definitely do the ‘ mundane’ stuff too, cooking/water/ driving/ parking etc as that would be really instructional. Keep em coming! Good luck.

      A lot more work than I was hoping to do but getting there slowly.
      Big job was the gearbox that had a hole in it & had to get fixed & at the same time had the timing belt replaced & oil & filter. Sorting out the the shower & the hobs at the mo. sorted out the garage to take all the bikes & the gear.
      We have had 2 nights away close to were we live just to try it out & see what else we need to do before our big trips away.

    Def down to watch some more van life vlog type Vids! Suggestions to keep it bike related.. getting ready before a ride, pre ride meals, unloading and getting the bikes and camera stuff ready, after ride cleanup/ packing up bikes, maybe a weekly special like an after ride cook out series that's like half riding then an after ride meal/hang out. Cool camping spots.. etc. Just riding stuff but mixed in with daily stuff. These things seem to make the vids more personal and develop a deeper connection with the audience!! Keep up the good work!!Keep

      @@McTrailRider Last year I took a cross Canada trip in a US motorhome - big but big. NO capacity for bikes. Constant noise - drove with Bose Noise Cancelling headphones.
      The RoadTreks and Airstreams are built for the uSA retiree market - not practical, reliable or maneuverable.
      Your camper looks luxury on capare with Road Trek and definitely the build quality would be higher.
