    Could never be built by British Leyland
    They'd all go on strike and would fall apart after one year

    Good review, but thanks mainly for the lemon prawn courgette tagliatelle recipe you made. I’m having some of that. 🍻

    Hi Guys ,what a beautiful motorhome everything you need the lounge sitting looks comfy,my opinion it’s a stunning beautiful motorhome but a little expensive,the fit out is perfect ,the engine is a 2.2 very powerful with the Automatic box ,the mattress on the spear bed looked very hard ,till next time take care keep safe, John 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🌹🎅🏻🎄🙌🧚🏽‍♀️🧚🏽‍♀️

      Hi John, yes its a big investment. Definitely built to last though especially with the Mercedes engine which would be good for 300,000miles + Cheers...Andy&Michelle 🎄🎅😀👍

    Just love your channel Andy and Michelle. Nice van, is there any possibility that you might be fully reviewing the new Coachman Travel Master which you saw at the NEC? Thanks a lot, Paul and Linda

      Hi Paul and Linda, it’s great to hear you are enjoying our channel 😀 sorry but there are no plans at the moment to review the coachman. We did like it a lot, it felt very spacious due to the extra width but that also needs to be a driving consideration, cheers…Andy&Michelle 😀

    I have to say, you're both so good at doing reviews like that! That is a great HoHo, much prefer the Mercedes styling. You should downsize your house and buy one - before I do :-)

    What a beautiful van. And I love the video. I was wondering how you would Rate Carthago Motorhomes in the Winter for van living if you have had any first hand experience with this kind of weather 😃.

      @ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, glad you liked the video, we are in our Carthago right now in Devon and it’s very cosy, we went to the Alps in winter last year and again was absolutely fine due to its double floor which is heated😀 they are made for this kind of weather 😀 cheers.. Andy&Michelle

    If you upgrade in the future but this is a stretch too far, the new auto gear box in the Ducato (available since 2020) is brilliant. Add that to a larger power option (ours is 160hp), then it suddenly transforms the driving experience.
    The manual Ducato in 120 or 140hp is a dog in comparison. Here in Finland, motorhomes are referred to as 'teidan tukko' ('road's blockage'), but we have surprised quite a few cars by overtaking them in ours! 😁 Still would love the Mercedes cab though 👍🏻😃

    • @ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures

    My favourite bit was Barney’s kilt 😂😂 are you upgrading Katie to this? Cab looks super wide and the media centre certainly better than our Fiat version!
    The rest of the interior does look really bright and loads of storage. Good old Carthago eh? Great to see another video folks !!! 😍

    • @ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures
      @ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Barney does look very comforatble in the kilt😀 We are not upgrading just yet but this model would be a very serious contender if we were, I'm pretty sure next time it will need to be on the Mercedes, Cheers...Andy&Michelle

      Hi, yes its a very solid feeling Motorhome😀👍 re drain down, I think they all need to be drained down if not plugged in with a small amount of heat to keep the temperatures above zero. Its actually a very timely comment, we always drain down but with the -8c temps a few weeks ago we suffered frost damage to one of our taps! 😢 there must have been a small amount of water left!
