We took delivery of our 2024 Kontiki 794 in September with the VB full air suspension & HY4 self levelling factory fitted. Whether you upgrade or buy new, the air suspension is worth the price, not just for the ride but the ability to raise the vehicle and help prevent damaging the water tanks, valves and pipework.
We looked at the A class models and Averil was very keen with the Rollerteam Pegasus 740 My concern has always been if I had a front end accident being bespoke rather than standard chassis cab. I think chassis cab would be cheaper to repair. Also after insuring the van recently I think there is a premium charge for the larger bespoke windscreen. It’s a difficult choice best of luck. I also want to say thanks very much for sharing your videos we’ve both really enjoyed watching them. It was also really great to meet up with you end of July at Newbury. I hope we can meet up again sometime next year. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Hi, I have heard the windscreens are expensive however never thought about the insurance side of things so a good heads up. Thank you for your kind words and glad you both enjoyed the videos, we will put out what shows we are attending in 2025 soon. If you're at one please come say hi again 😊 Have a great Christmas and a amazing New Year to you both 😊
We went from a coach built to an A class, it felt that the windscreen was further away but the front of the van is in the same place. It gives you a better view for driving and when pitched up. We did lose the drivers door but it’s not a problem. We love our hymer690 starline with an island bed at 8m, it’s our perfect van with a garage for a scooter. We have owned it 6 years and wouldn’t change anything
That looks like a very nice van you have as just checked it out on Google 😊 Thank you for the info on how it is to drive and all the positives on an A class 👍
We have recently changed from coach built to A Class , we find no difference in driving, we love the large windscreen & the open airy cab. I’m sure you will make the right decision.
Hi, thank you for this. It's good to hear there is no difference in the driving and it does always amaze us with the space up front which we love. Happy travels 😊
Another great Vlog. Looking forward to the next one to hear your decision.. hopefully you’ll be keeping Ruby my old mate.. I’m desperate to know what you’d do with the table.. we were going to take ours out completely but unsure like yourselves. On the other hand, I know exactly what you mean about the space round the bed. Lesley is in the same situation.. bless her.. I was actually thinking of adjusting the wall in the toilet area to open it up a bit !
Just not sure how doing modifications to your van eg levelling system and roof fans is going to solve the issue of the restricted bedroom to stop the good lady from sleeping in the captains chair should she suffer another back problem. Surely the only answer is the new 25 model 🤔🤔.
Hi, we have made what we feel is the right decision that Jodie is very happy with. The video will be out in the New Year so look out for that as some may be surprised. Happy travels 😊
Hiya both have loved your vlogs around Spain just a quick question what video equipment do you use whilst out and and about, I noticed in this vlog you seem to have used a Go Pro which works really well, do you use any others. Keep going with your vlogs you come across very honest and just being yourself. Hope you both have a great Christmas and all the best for 2025 and your future venture
Hi, thank you for a lovely comment it's nice to be appreciated 😊 We have 2 GoPro's with 360 mics which work very well and recently invested in the DJI action 5 with the DJI mic 2's as they connect directly to the camera. Lot's of spare batteries and some ND filters. Have a great Christmas and wishing you all the best for 2025 🎄
We changed to an A class van mobilvetta k79 18 months ago it’s the best thing we ever did it’s a fantastic van currently in Spain enjoying the sun
Hi, glad the change is going well for you and enjoying an adventure to Spain. Have a great Christmas there 😊 Happy travels 😎

Hi, Thank you 😊
Hope you are enjoying your new Kontiki 794 and the VB Full Air suspension is definitely an upgrade we are considering.
Happy travels 😊
It's me!!!!
Amazing, well done Shelley and a big congratulations from both of us. We have seen your email and will sort out the collection soon. Happy travels 😊

Ur van is already stunning and immaculate I’m guessing u don’t live in it ? I love how it’s so minimalist and not cluttered lol 😂
It is immaculate as we are a little OCD with that 🤣 Just don't open the cupboards 👀 and no we don't live permanently in the van. Happy travels 😊

Thank you. We have a vlog coming out in the new year with our decision, your ideas sound like a good plan. 😊
@@lifes4touring Cheers, I’m looking forward to it. Wishing you both a very merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎅
