We had three motorhomes over thirty years , kept them for ten years and then traded them for new ones. On all three we got half the original price when we sold them on after between 50 and 75 thousand miles each. Only had problems with build quality on the last one , an Auto Sleeper Amethyst which went back to AS three times to sort out a lot of build problems. Not sure I would pay £80,000 or over for a new one today with all the build problems that get reported in the press.
Yes, everything you say after 18:00 seems to ring true as far as our experience goes. I think families will still be looking for multiple sleeping options, 4 and 6 berth but lots of people now only go away with their partner and island beds and single beds at the rear seem to be very popular. Rarer finds - ours is 6.49m and has an island king-sized bed - do keep their value. Ours is now new £75810. It is 3 years old. We paid £55,000 (as ex-demo) for it and they are now around £59,000 on Autotrader via dealers for the same age and mileage. So, I think, similarly, we haven't lost anything if we sold privately but if we part exchanged through a dealer we might only get £45k plus if we are lucky. Everyone's situation will be different but we are glad you weren't disappointed. Keep up the great, natural videos! (we don't get paid by TH-cam!!! haha)
The Alde heating has a high temperature anti-bacterial mode that runs occasionally to reduce the chances of legionaire bacteria forming in the pipes. The trouble is it needs power to run and water in the pipes.
So glad I have my old type licence. Our local (ish) dealer, leaves ALL the motorhomes unlocked and are happy to let us go into All of them. Obviously they are looking for a sale, but it's nice to be able to get in and check out all the differences between them all - even the ones we know we can't afford, lol!
Well, you've persuaded us to put our deposit down for a new motorhome and we can't wait. Thanks for all the great videos and you do seem to find the positivity in things which we enjoy a lot. Great video content and editing and it takes some commitment to keep on producing them especially to the high standard you do. So many You Tubers fizzle out after a few months. 😀👍
Hi. Wow a new motorhome, that is fantastic and you are going to have the most brilliant adventures! We hope to bump into you on the road 👍👍 Thanks for watching
Hey Andy and Claire, really enjoyed this Vlog, as ever such a laugh a minute and what we’ve come to expect absolutely great content. Keep up the great work guys. I personally hope you guys get sponsored as you are worth every penny in my view. Keep em coming 🎉
Both of you on form tonight. Claire you were exceptional we just love you two. You deserve the van of your dreams then we can see more of you. So happy the van passed its tests. Thanks for everything you do. Take care see you next time. ❤
Liking your content and surprised more people arnt subscribed. And shocked when you mentioned someone liking your vids but not subscribing or liking because they dont want to fund your life style. We brits do not need a tv licence to watch youtube. Which is all i watch nowdays with being mostly skint. So i thank you for giving me something thats enjoyable to watch for 20 plus minutes here and there.
That's great news that your motorhome hasn't depreciated too much.🙏 The price of new ones has gone crazy. We were lucky we ordered our CV40 when we did. I hope ours has kept its value, too. 🙏 Loved Claire's quote. Referring to Larry Grayson, "Shut that door " 😂😂👏 Thanks, Andy & Claire, for bringing so much joy to everyone with your fantastic sense of humour . It's absolutely brilliant ❤
Just have to comment as we have a Carthago, have had it now 2 years and absolutely love it! Have never had any problems other than replacing items due to its age at 2015 model. Keep up the vlogs love watching you both 😘
We bought new Adria in 2019 , traded it last Christmas for another new one , got 2k more than we paid in 2019 ? obviously the new one one was more money but that’s always going to be the case. More than happy here , keep tripping
Bought a new Adria Feb 2020 before the prices and the world went crazy. It seemed a lot at the time but I think I'll still get more for it than I paid. Problem is that's only relevant if I don't buy another.
Hi, I just subscribed as I started watching you mentioned Dinnington my brother used to live there, now he lives in Rotherham. Great video. If you decide to stick with this one hope you are happy with it. Xx
Hi again I bought our first motorhome 8 years ago after cashing in on our classic vws …anyhow I sold our motorhome last year to upgrade to a newer model with more space … I put it on motorhome depot and sold it to a dealer before it was advertised on motorhome depot website they send new sales to dealers first 👀 I sold it for £250 less than what I paid for it 8 years ago and I’d put 40,000 miles on it ….😊 I was proper happy 😃
Another video from our favourite youtubers. We got our first campervan this year (we call it Tom) from Oakwell in Barnsley. We are in Holmfirth so maybe we will bump into you one day - not literally!!!
Great news that everything on the motor home was good ❤ got back from Blackpool today from the Tinsel & Turkey not what we expected 😢 food was lovely and so were the staff ❤ but disappointed with the room and it was freezing cold at the night time in the entertainment room people were getting cardigans and sweaters some even had their coats on. Most areas of the hotel was freezing, wouldn’t go back again 🙈home now thankfully and nice and warm, looking forward to your next video ❤
Well, you two lovely folk. ,I've been subscribed and constantly like all your uploads. To anybody not subscribed, do it! they are a male & female version of morecambe and wise. Brilliant English humour. Love you both, keep it up ❤
I know Erick was a Lancashire lad and Ernie from Yorkshire.. same thing though isn't it ?🤣 much like me from the black country being called a brummie .you must come down here black country museum is classic.. or the many in Telford
Thanks for another great video ,I always think the true cost of a motorhome is the difference between purchase price and selling price ,so has you pointed out 2 grand for a year of ownership is amazing ,so Andy get Claire the better a class van 😁😁
Glad that St Christopher passed its hab check successfully. It’s fatal looking around the dealer’s vans. We’re caravanners and very happy with our van but can’t help looking around the new vans on display. You just need to start saving up now! 😆x
We were in a similar position to yourselves thinking we needed 4 travel seats to restrain our dogs during travel. On the Fiat Ducato there is a bar under the seats that we use to restrain our 2 dogs using a restraint that is designed to go over the headrest. We’ve gone from 6m Motorhome with drop down bed to 7.5m with a fixed bed that we found too big for what we enjoy doing and now we have an Autotrail 6.3m panel van with rear lounge that suits us perfectly. Love your vlogs by the way can’t wait for the next one 👍
Just discovered your channel which is of particular interest to us since we are also Mileo 202 owners. Watched a few older videos and have enjoyed them.
Hi guys great video as usual. Just an observation but for the price of a 70/80k motorhome, you can get a top of the range luxury caravan and a very nice car to tow it. Just saying. I do realise they're 2 entirely different things though.
Glad it passed. Interesting facts about the cost of new vans and how much it has depreciated in 1 year. The difference is you like your current van and it suits your needs, it’s just the decals that you seem to not like, but that’s just cosmetic and it can be sorted.if you want Andrew to sell his body Claire, wait until it’s a bit warmer. He could do a photo shoot between his bike and St Chris with Dora and Pablo, and sell it as a calendar. Safe travels. Jan and Will. 🏍🚎👌👍
Hellooo Guy's, Glad the mileo passed with flying colours 🙌. Nice to hear the van is holding its value would defo keep it for another yr, don't forget big vans don't like small windy roads 😮. There is a youtuber we have watched (sorry 😢) he recently bought a mobilvetta and is having lots of issues with the build quality. Take care and travel safe 🙏. Paul and Joanne 👍 ❤️ X PS avoid going south prefer it up north 😊
As with mobile home sales, i put campervan/motorhome sales companies in the same bracket. They will shaft you when and if you want to sell back to them.
interesting observation on depreciation. At some point in the future the vehicle will be scrap and worth very little. That cost will be borne by the owners, probably quite a lot by the first owner and the last owner but at what point is the big drop in between ?
Great vid you two it’s always a pleasure to watch yous..glad the MH is good to go for yous..the Mobilvetta vans look very nice and modern ..I can just see Andy sitting behind that mahoosively big A class windscreen..oh and your right Claire that 50mph on the m1 is very painful indeed Mrs👍🏻
Hi Clare & Andrew, just subscribed after watching you're channel for a few months really enjoy what you post up , keep em coming Sue and Chris (Burstner Harmony Line 690g)
Chris Sloanes I’m sure you have heard of him has got a Mobilevetta. He recently bought it and done quite a few upgrades but has had quite a few problems with it.
Hi you two. Interesting vlog, good to hear about how little your Motorhome has depreciated over 12 months and that your hab check went well 😁👍🏻👍🏻 On another note really had enough of the 50 mph on the M1 😡😂 Enjoy your next trip out and we’re already looking forward to watching it 😁👍🏻
Yep we had loads of issues with our Carthago to in fact we have had probs with most of our vans except our autocruise Augusta that was a cracking van, got fed up with coach built so downsized to a Dethleffs Globetrail camper a year ago and have never looked back.
Blizzard like here in our bit of France, dodgy looking at other vans while having a hab Check, that’s how we ended up with out Carthago chic to big to expensive and parts were telephone numbers 😂

Hiya ...I've got a techno 85 mobilvetta...the projector is a sun visor... Mines been reliable and very comfortable... There's nowt wrong with yours at end of day it's just somewhere to sleep! It's all about the journey and location and family...great vlogs
Very enjoyable but that `projector screen`? .. I assumed it to be a `blind` to keep out the street light or the lights on the campsites at night? .. I may be wrong so would be nice to know. I love Claire`s laugh and great to see the inside of these Motorhomes. You fill me with envy! X.
Hey up you two, I really enjoyed that vid, you were like a couple of kids looking round the vans, love the banter you’ve both got! and don’t worry, some of us subscribe and like so the K-Yacht may not be far away! They look good but it’s only a Fiat Ducato underneath, nice suit though! All the best, Steve, over the hill 👍
So you should get a little something, you put loads of effort into your vlog. Love the end longe, that will be our next van. We have a Autocruise Forte and love it.
Hmm - Great video guys - Could have been a Few Marks on that floor when Frank Spencer had left the tap on 😂😂😂 - mind you it’s not just any channel … it’s … Nice one 😀👍😂
Hi you two, we agree about winter being beautiful and the K Yacht would suit you well....just spending your money for you! we will start the sponsorship campaign for you with M&S if you give us a contact email 🤣🤣and then start on Madri too 🍻🍺🍻 I can't believe some people think liking and subscribing will pay for a luxurious life style and come up with comments like that after they have had the pleasure of watching your videos. They have no idea how much time and effort it takes to make your vlogs but we appreciate every pixel-rich moment you provide for us all!! Glad St Chris' passed the Hab' check, we have ours in January 🤞enjoy the seaside!! Andy & Lyn.
Hi guys! You make me laugh 😂 love your channel!! I wish me liking and commenting meant you could purchase that A Class 😅 it might just get you another hot chocolate at Marquis 😂 Looking forward to seeing some seaside next time 😍 from the warmth of my armchair 😅 xx
Always click a like button very rarely share but that's every youtuber I follow only because don't know anyone else who motorhomes Not that keen on the vans you walked around far cheaper ones with better fixtures and fittings. Stick with what you have and spend the money on the vinyl decals and flooring You don't need a drop down screen watch it outside on the van
Guys did you sort out the vinyl issue? I watched the whole video twice but can't see anything about the result. Love your comments on the M & S clothes😀
Yep if you buy carefully the depreciation is minimal depending on how long you keep and maintain - I’ve the same with my motorbikes some of my mtb’s (sold one earlier this year for 5x what I paid for it 20 years ago then again it was a unicorn) and our current caravan should in theory break even after 5-6 years which is when we’ll be probably looking at a motorhome option and it would have to be A class as long as I can get it reversed onto the drive
Regarding depreciation. You guys had the good sense not to buy new. I bought a new van in March this year for for £77,500. Current trade in value is around £55,000! Love the channel 😊
M1is a total pain. I went down to Northampton twice this summer, from Northumberland. Tryd the A1 second time down, just as bad, bridge work. Not happy.
@@stewartkendall2635 I believe you have to apply at the right time before you're 70 for the medical or the C1 will be dropped from your license and you will have to take the theory and practical test to regain the C1
With More electric vehicles there is a proposal to modify the weight/ driving licence limit. But no matter what age yo passed yor test a review course will all ways be of benefit to you driving skills
Hi Guys, what a laff you guys have. Always nice to walk around the sales compound looking at what you cant really afford but dream of. Recently got a 2011 Swift Kon Tiki which through grandad rights I can drive. Its way to big for the 2 of us but 2 now = 3 since the new puppy joined our adventures. Have you tried the Grouse and Claret Caravan park , Rowsley near Matlock?? Ive never been but have family in the area so looking for a decent site to base myself for a few days next year. keep the vlogs coming guys 😁
It's interesting to hear that you want to move away from a drop down bed to a fixed bed and we have an Elddis Encore 250 with fixed island bed and want to have a rear lounge and a drop down bed. For you, what are the negatives you had found with a drop down bed? For us we didn't appreciate that when we viewed the Moho tge island bed didn't have any bedding on and was pushed back which made it appear there was lots of room. In reality when the bed is fully extended with the bedding on there is little room to walk around the bed. We do love our van, But every van comes with a compromise but would really like an end lounge.
Hi. Yes we agree, every van comes with compromise. We want to be able to have a cuppa tea in bed more easily .. sounds silly really. The other thing is, it won’t drop down lower than our waist so is a bit of a jump up into it, we didn’t really take that into account 👍👍👍👍 have a good evening and thanks for watching
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Our caravan has a fixed bed, but to one side.. so whoever sleeps next to the window, has to climb over the missus, to go to the loo, in the night. An Island bed would be better but we'd still be climbing over each other, as there is never enough room to get by when it's occupied. compromises, compromises.!! Wife never compromises on her morning cuppa in bed though.😞
Decent motorhomes may not depreciate as much as cars but they are more expensive to run. Storage fees, diesel costs, insurance, habitation checks, camp site fees, servicing etc.
What's the reason for wanting a fixed rear bed ? We are now looking for a drop down bed van and now have us wondering if it's a bad idea. Why would you prefer the fixed?
Our bed drops down to about waist height (bit higher) and it does make it tricky to jump up and out of it. Sounds silly but we don’t consider that Thanks for watching
Arrr ok we are looking at one that the bed drops low so you dont need a ladder. Challenger 260 is one of them, then the chausson 640@@Stchristopherofatlantis
We love your channel and watch every vlog. More than happy to like, subscribe and comment if it helps.. not like it costs me anything and only takes a few seconds to add a comment. Some people are bah humbugs 😂
As things are at the moment, I don't think it wise to be swapping vehicles, unless you buy a used caravan as well as keep your Motorhome( happy wife, happy life ;-) ) . Even then maybe hang on to what you've got already. Great to hear yours is keeping it's value though. and it's not cost you anything for repairs etc. Pimp it up and get new decals, it will be like having a new van without all that extra expense. Just my opinion. Back in my younger days we had a little Monza 4 berth. for us and 't kids'. Luvved it to bits but ed to sell it as kids grew up and flew t' nest. Narr am retired wiv got moor time to enjoy it ageean, so went a bought a new 'van. We luv nippin off for trips art nar. we went to Yorkshire Caravans (Bawtry) for ours.

Andrew/Claire, that was a sun-blind on the k-yacht, we have one in our a class Hymer. To be honest they’re crap and I never use it 😂😂
Andy is devastated to find this news out 😂😂😂😂😂
Love the video hope your all well ❤
Hello 👋
Hi Clare & Andrew, just subscribed after watching you're channel for a few months really enjoy what you post up , keep em coming Sue and Chris (Burstner Harmony Line 690g)
Hello Sue and Chris 👍
Thanks for subscribing
Hey, I've got a good setup with a projector and screen on the tailgate of me berlingo....less than a hundred quid😊
Sounds fab 👍👍
Chris Sloanes I’m sure you have heard of him has got a Mobilevetta. He recently bought it and done quite a few upgrades but has had quite a few problems with it.
Hi Mick, how are you? 👋
Hi you two. Interesting vlog, good to hear about how little your Motorhome has depreciated over 12 months and that your hab check went well 😁👍🏻👍🏻
On another note really had enough of the 50 mph on the M1 😡😂
Enjoy your next trip out and we’re already looking forward to watching it 😁👍🏻
The 50mph is dragging on…!!
Great news, all is well.
Catch you on your next trip 😊😊
Oh yes!! 👍
Yep we had loads of issues with our Carthago to in fact we have had probs with most of our vans except our autocruise Augusta that was a cracking van, got fed up with coach built so downsized to a Dethleffs Globetrail camper a year ago and have never looked back.
Hi. How are you. Your latest van sounds great 🚐👍👍
Blizzard like here in our bit of France, dodgy looking at other vans while having a hab Check, that’s how we ended up with out Carthago chic to big to expensive and parts were telephone numbers 😂

Hiya ...I've got a techno 85 mobilvetta...the projector is a sun visor... Mines been reliable and very comfortable... There's nowt wrong with yours at end of day it's just somewhere to sleep! It's all about the journey and location and family...great vlogs
Hi. Andy is going to be so devastated when he finds out it’s not a projector 😂😂😂😂 happy and safe travels, hope to bump into you
Very enjoyable but that `projector screen`? .. I assumed it to be a `blind` to keep out the street light or the lights on the campsites at night? .. I may be wrong so would be nice to know. I love Claire`s laugh and great to see the inside of these Motorhomes. You fill me with envy! X.
Hello. Andy was hoping it was a projector screen but it was definitely a sunblind 😂😂😂😂
Hey up you two, I really enjoyed that vid, you were like a couple of kids looking round the vans, love the banter you’ve both got!
and don’t worry, some of us subscribe and like so the K-Yacht may not be far away! They look good but it’s only a Fiat Ducato underneath, nice suit though!
All the best, Steve, over the hill 👍
Hello steve definitely not over the hill, unless you mean other side of penines 😂😂😂
Hi, it’s a blind not a projector ! Great video as usual
😂😂😂 gutted
So you should get a little something, you put loads of effort into your vlog. Love the end longe, that will be our next van. We have a Autocruise Forte and love it.
Thank you 👍👍 Happy travels
Hmm - Great video guys - Could have been a Few Marks on that floor when Frank Spencer had left the tap on 😂😂😂 - mind you it’s not just any channel … it’s … Nice one 😀👍😂
Claire is Barnsley’s answer to Frank Spencer, you should see her ice skating 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hiya...less than half a mile from Marquis at Monks Bridge there are 3 food outlets maybe try them for breakfast next time 😊❤
Ooooh yes yes!!!
Hi you two, we agree about winter being beautiful and the K Yacht would suit you well....just spending your money for you! we will start the sponsorship campaign for you with M&S if you give us a contact email 🤣🤣and then start on Madri too 🍻🍺🍻 I can't believe some people think liking and subscribing will pay for a luxurious life style and come up with comments like that after they have had the pleasure of watching your videos. They have no idea how much time and effort it takes to make your vlogs but we appreciate every pixel-rich moment you provide for us all!! Glad St Chris' passed the Hab' check, we have ours in January 🤞enjoy the seaside!! Andy & Lyn.
Hi Andy and Lyn
Andy has progressed on life to enjoying peace and comfort 😂😂
Fingers crossed on the mega deal 😂😂
Hi guys! You make me laugh 😂 love your channel!! I wish me liking and commenting meant you could purchase that A Class 😅 it might just get you another hot chocolate at Marquis 😂 Looking forward to seeing some seaside next time 😍 from the warmth of my armchair 😅 xx
Hello 👋 ❤️❤️👋👋
Always click a like button very rarely share but that's every youtuber I follow only because don't know anyone else who motorhomes
Not that keen on the vans you walked around far cheaper ones with better fixtures and fittings.
Stick with what you have and spend the money on the vinyl decals and flooring
You don't need a drop down screen watch it outside on the van
Hello 👍👍
That's why I don't let myself look at any upgrades!!!!! 😂😂😂 Love yor humor❤
😂😂😂😁
Guys did you sort out the vinyl issue? I watched the whole video twice but can't see anything about the result. Love your comments on the M & S clothes😀
Hi. They didn’t mention it to us 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Andy’s new fave shop 😂😂
What was the outcome of the lino water ingress?
No mention of it?! 👍
What is the Drone that Clair is showing please?
Hi. It’s a DJI NEO it was £170 Amazon
Can Clair make a Drone vlog with it....
CHeck out the Llandudno video 😂😂😂
@Stchristopherofatlantis oh I will
hi can you pls explain why you need a jab check and what it is please?
Hello. It’s like an MOT for motorhomes, it checks the gas is safe, no water ingress etc to ensure it’s safe.
@@Stchristopherofatlantis
it’s it a must ? IE law
It's like the crypton factor watching you try to work the coffee machine😂😂❤❤
Can’t beat the assault course, we always used to want to have a go 👍👍👍
Yep if you buy carefully the depreciation is minimal depending on how long you keep and maintain - I’ve the same with my motorbikes some of my mtb’s (sold one earlier this year for 5x what I paid for it 20 years ago then again it was a unicorn) and our current caravan should in theory break even after 5-6 years which is when we’ll be probably looking at a motorhome option and it would have to be A class as long as I can get it reversed onto the drive
This is awesome, great news 👍👍
Thanks for watching
Awesome see ya adventures soon x x x ❤🎉😊
Hello 👋
Regarding depreciation. You guys had the good sense not to buy new. I bought a new van in March this year for for £77,500. Current trade in value is around £55,000! Love the channel 😊
Thanks for watching. Sorry to hear this. Fingers crossed things change or you win the lottery 👍👍🤞🤞
Don’t know if you’ve watched motorhoming adventures, they have a Mobilvetta. Another great blog.
Will take a look, thank you
Ooo, don’t want to live the other side of pennines! Just over the Hoyland hill in Chap is far enough! 😂
😂😂😂😂 hello 👋
Love them just worry about fuel changing and Mike's per gallon if planning to do a lit of travelling.
Hello 👋
Great video's👍 I think second hand prices are over inflated because of new but I bet if you try and sell it for that price you not get it.
Hello and thanks for watching 👍👍
Funny as normal but very useful info and perspective😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic video again loved to see you driving out of Barnsley 😂😂😂
Gods country 😂😂
@ definitely 💯
M1is a total pain. I went down to Northampton twice this summer, from Northumberland. Tryd the A1 second time down, just as bad, bridge work. Not happy.
We agree 👍👍👍👍👍👍
It only costs £240 to get C1 added to your licence. If you’ve 80k to spend on a motorhome it’s a small cost
Hi. This is good to know, thanks for sharing 👍
@ it does involve a medical and theory and practical test. And lasts 5 years on your licence. Us old buggers are lucky!,
@@stewartkendall2635 I believe you have to apply at the right time before you're 70 for the medical or the C1 will be dropped from your license and you will have to take the theory and practical test to regain the C1
With More electric vehicles there is a proposal to modify the weight/ driving licence limit.
But no matter what age yo passed yor test a review course will all ways be of benefit to you driving skills
Did the rear view camera come with the camper or is it an aftermarket part?
It came with it…..
Hi Guys, what a laff you guys have. Always nice to walk around the sales compound looking at what you cant really afford but dream of. Recently got a 2011 Swift Kon Tiki which through grandad rights I can drive. Its way to big for the 2 of us but 2 now = 3 since the new puppy joined our adventures. Have you tried the Grouse and Claret Caravan park , Rowsley near Matlock?? Ive never been but have family in the area so looking for a decent site to base myself for a few days next year. keep the vlogs coming guys 😁
Hello. Thanks for watching and live to hear that you laugh 😂😂😂 Your swift sounds fabulous, we hope to bump into you on the road one day 👍👍👍👍🚐
Love the videos. No, it's not a tv screen, it's the sun visor.
😂😂👍
yer just like us, if ya cant stand up in it, why do they even make them? Keep speaking your mind. 👍
Agreed 😂😂 Thanks for watching our video
It's interesting to hear that you want to move away from a drop down bed to a fixed bed and we have an Elddis Encore 250 with fixed island bed and want to have a rear lounge and a drop down bed. For you, what are the negatives you had found with a drop down bed? For us we didn't appreciate that when we viewed the Moho tge island bed didn't have any bedding on and was pushed back which made it appear there was lots of room. In reality when the bed is fully extended with the bedding on there is little room to walk around the bed. We do love our van, But every van comes with a compromise but would really like an end lounge.
Hi. Yes we agree, every van comes with compromise. We want to be able to have a cuppa tea in bed more easily .. sounds silly really. The other thing is, it won’t drop down lower than our waist so is a bit of a jump up into it, we didn’t really take that into account 👍👍👍👍 have a good evening and thanks for watching
@Stchristopherofatlantis ahh yes, that's a prime consideration for us. Can you sit up in bed in a morning and have a brew. 🤔
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Our caravan has a fixed bed, but to one side.. so whoever sleeps next to the window, has to climb over the missus, to go to the loo, in the night. An Island bed would be better but we'd still be climbing over each other, as there is never enough room to get by when it's occupied. compromises, compromises.!! Wife never compromises on her morning cuppa in bed though.😞
Oh I do love your video titles they are soo perfect for ppl moaning who dont watch the content 🤣
Glad you like them! 😊
I have just watched a post by Chris Slones re Marquis you need to see it.
Thanks for watching
I for some reason thought you said rod Jane and Freddy at the end showing me age there
we loved Rainbow!
50 mph on M1 doesn’t really bother us as we have a caravan ! Missed Pablo and Dora on this video, glad the hab check was ok. X
Hello 👋
Just commenting to give you a bit more revenue…split it 50/50 with me when you get it please 😂
Love you 2…and your bike channel 👍
😂😂😂😂😂👍
Subscribed. Just so I can fund your lifestyle.
Whooooopy doooo. Muchas thank yous 👍👍👍👍👍
Decent motorhomes may not depreciate as much as cars but they are more expensive to run. Storage fees, diesel costs, insurance, habitation checks, camp site fees, servicing etc.
Hi 👋
If you liked the Mobilevetta have a look at the rollerteam pegaso 745 the same
Oooohhhh yes!
Imagine if all us motorhome got together camping out
Hi. Thanks for watching 😁👍😂
What's the reason for wanting a fixed rear bed ? We are now looking for a drop down bed van and now have us wondering if it's a bad idea. Why would you prefer the fixed?
Our bed drops down to about waist height (bit higher) and it does make it tricky to jump up and out of it. Sounds silly but we don’t consider that
Thanks for watching
Arrr ok we are looking at one that the bed drops low so you dont need a ladder. Challenger 260 is one of them, then the chausson 640@@Stchristopherofatlantis
We have the Benimar c282 with the back lounge and two drop down beds. Back bed can come right down. Fixed bed is wasted space in my eyes.
Was that a left hand shoulder check coming of the roundabout?🏍😉😂
😂 I can’t seem to get the motorhome to change gear with my left foot though
😂@@Stchristopherofatlantis
We bloody luv your channel!! Could you sort that stretch of the M1 though please whilst we continue to fund your lifestyle 😮😮😮 (Unbelievable) 👍
We blummin love you watching our videos. Thankyou very very very and another very much 👍👍
There is a Benimar 202 for sale 21 plate £45,900 , 10,500 miles
Seems a good price!
The hab check cost
We love your channel and watch every vlog. More than happy to like, subscribe and comment if it helps.. not like it costs me anything and only takes a few seconds to add a comment. Some people are bah humbugs 😂
Hello Thankyooooooou 👍👍👍❤️
@@Stchristopherofatlantis in fact both hubby and I subscribe and watch on either of our accounts - his if we watch on TV x
👍👍👍👍
Chris Sloanes has reviewed his Kea elsewhere on TH-cam.
Thanks 🤩
As things are at the moment, I don't think it wise to be swapping vehicles, unless you buy a used caravan as well as keep your Motorhome( happy wife, happy life ;-) ) . Even then maybe hang on to what you've got already.
Great to hear yours is keeping it's value though. and it's not cost you anything for repairs etc.
Pimp it up and get new decals, it will be like having a new van without all that extra expense. Just my opinion.
Back in my younger days we had a little Monza 4 berth. for us and 't kids'. Luvved it to bits but ed to sell it as kids grew up and flew t' nest. Narr am retired wiv got moor time to enjoy it ageean, so went a bought a new 'van. We luv nippin off for trips art nar.
we went to Yorkshire Caravans (Bawtry) for ours.
Hi Chris. We had a look around Yorkshire caravans, great place.
Your opinion is greatly welcomed and thank you for helping us 👍👍❤️
