Always good to listen to your take on the show and the vans. A class is a great choice 😊. We had a lovely catch up with Heather, goodness knows how many miles she would have walked as we must have talked for over an hour. 😂 safe travels. Best wishes H&M. xx
Thanks both shame I couldn’t come but holidays are precious and I didn’t really want to go to the show in honesty, getting in early and basing the day helping at S&L was enough for me. Mixed feelings on A-Class as for me I’m a camper guy at heart coming from VW but when we hit 60 we want to stop work and lock the house up for 3 months like you…. Space will be more valuable than looks. ❤️🙏
Thank you for the tour. It's great to see some A class(es?) on your channel, so cheers Heather! And Rick: happy wife, happy (campervan) life! Actually, are you guys married? Do you think you'll enjoy the A-class layout? Would you do your daytime lounging on the rear beds, or hope to find a front lounge comfortable enough for feet-up time? Those prices are scary. From the shows you attend, do you get the feeling that there are still enough people who can afford to pay these prices?
Believe it or not no we’re not married, both tried that before… I think we’d probably lie on the beds tbh, we had a motorhome and found sitting on the driver seats/dinette uncomfortable for more than just eating. I can’t see prices dropping but maybe they won’t climb as much? I think we’re probably the last age group that can afford this type of lifestyle, it’s a dear game. Thanks for watching 🙏
Well done. Love the look of the vans for the future, Heather has excellent taste. We have a twin bed Bailey Adamo, really comfy, nice large boot and an automatic Ford chassis. Look for to going back to the future with you 😂
Some really nice A class’ there, and totally with you on the price hike for the merc. We were pitched at the side of one of that Adria you looked at, really nice. We’ll just have to keep putting the lottery on. 😁👍
The A classes are interesting. It’s surprising how much more plush the motorhomes rather than PVCs are - suppose it’s way easier to do that in those as designed for the purpose. Out of interest what do you think of the width of A-Classes? It was width i found the challenge with rather than length which seemed to cause the challenge on the roads. Lovely finish though aren’t they - when we get around to retirement (sadly well over 5+ years I think!) fancy something a bit more plush! Hope you had a good time at the show, All the best, David & Rachel 👍
Strange as it may seem this is the first NEC video that I've seen for this show. I prefer the A class with the more open kitchen too - the others always seem so squashed up. The drop-down bed is a waste when there's only two people - I wonder if they'll ever do an option without it, it will save a lot of weight. All a bit academic for me though as I could never imagine driving one of those down roads in Devon and Cornwall .... I'm amazed Heather could remember where everything was - that place is HUGE !
Glad you chose ours then 🙏 I think some companies do offer a drop down delete, definitely a huge place it’s crazy, I was glad to get in early and hide on the S&L stand to be honest 🤣
We looked at a lot of similar vans albeit the entry level as we’re coming over to the dark side from a caravan 😂. I bumped my head when I tried the bed as if I were going to sit up and read. A friend had suggested this might happen with the overhead lockers. My husband has never driven a Fiat as they are so dominant I assume they are a good drive?
The Mercedes drive nicer than Fiat, the Fiat are nicer than Ford (my opinion) nowt wrong with caravans, I had 2 before the campers, many years ago mind! Thanks for watching 🙏
Thanks for this always interesting - keep up the great work.
Thanks 🙏 appreciate that 👍
I really enjoyed my time at the show, very tiring though
Good work Mrs!

Loved catching up again.
I really loved looking at all the vans
Thank you for taking us around. I think you like the A class🤣. I did prefer the ones with the more open front area. Take care Gill
I do like them but I prefer a camper for looks, that said when we retire space and comfort will be better. Thanks for watching 🙏
I love looking around the different vans.
Thank you for the tour.

Those rear beds look so comfy, so I think lounging on them will be the option in a few years
If we can climb up….
I enjoyed the tours. Thanks for sharing them, my friends 👍😊💕🤗✌️
Thanks 🙏 we appreciate your support ❤️

She has great taste in men too 🤣 but seriously I’d be lost without her, she’s a great organiser thanks for watching and commenting we appreciate it ❤️
I know what I like, and so can be selective with my time. It's lovely looking at the vans

Adria are wicked but the Malibu was pretty nice, Rapido will probably be more my choice I think….. keep playing the lotto! See you soon 😊🍻
As long as you don't forget us when you win 😂
A class the way to go, we have just bought sub 6mtr A class
Which model John?
There are alot of choices out there now. I enjoyed looking at them all

I think we’re 5 years off too, the width is an issue but comfort is king if we are going to “live” in it 3 months at a time 👍
Really loved checking out the different one available

I had gone through my videos before we went on the Saturday and made a list. I do love my lists.
😅
@@heatherdodds549 Good plan.
Liked seeing the A class vehicles thanks for doing this one❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🙏

I think bumping your head us a hazard in any van.
We both do it all the time
Well done best volg I have seen of the show
Far too kind! Bless you 🙏
Oh, I forgot to mention - that was the most ridiculous bike rack I have ever seen - who would want their bikes sticking out like that ??
Who knows how the “young folk” think? 🤣
