    Amazing to see this, we used to own Bertie, he was our first motorhome and we loved him. We did lots of the work on his interior. We love his new work surfaces. We had many happy travels in him. Wishing you fantastic adventures in him. Can’t wait to see your travels in him.

      Wow, that is amazing to hear!! What a small world! Thank you for the well wishes! I can tell he's been loved over the years. He's a fantastic little starter motorhome! During which years did you own him if you don't mind me asking?

      @@otakuhimee8291 We bought him in November 2017 and had him until June 2022. We have lots of pictures of what he was like when we bought him. We named him ‘Bertie’ it just seemed to suit him. We’re delighted that he’s continuing to a fabulous motorhome for you. We can’t wait to see your adventures in him. If you have any questions about how thing work just ask.

    The carbon monoxide detector should be at the lowest point of the interior as its heavier than air so pools at the botttom of the room.

    Congrats on your fab van! It is beautiful and should give you many happy years of use. We have a 1992 Hymer which has the same trumatic heater, hob , fridge and thetford loo, it has about 140k miles on the clock and we have taken it to the south of Spain and back to Scotland! The layout of your van is great and they have amazing storage. Wishing loads of fun and safe and happy travels xx

      Absolutely true and great size for starting out. I did a lot of research before buying it and have since done a lot of re-sealing where there had been historical damp (no problems as of current though). I will be checking the flooring thanks to this advice though! Cheers!

    Very nice well looked after motorhome, I have been looking at motorhomes and I can't think why someone would buy a converted van to be honest, they are normally done by a DIY guy in his garage, the vans have been abused in their early life and is hard to find one under 200'000 miles, LOL, also these ones are purpose factory made, always seem quite luxurious (even older ones) and low mileage and well looked after. I enjoyed your video, hope you have happy times in her or him.

    • @otakuhimee8291
      @otakuhimee8291  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The high mileage on vans was exactly the reason I opted not to go for a converted one. For the price and condition of them, it was absolutely not worth it. Thank you for the comment!

      The habitation door is only on the driver's side! This is something I queried when buying it too as it is still a right-hand drive. Apparently it is because the motorhome was designed in Italy where they're usually left-hand drive vehicles. Very odd though for a vehicle that was not imported
