- BAD LUCK COMES IN 3,s.. but we wasn't going to let it ruin our 3 day break in one of the best campsites this year!..
If you are actually reading this part , (Please let us know in the comments section if you do read the video descriptions , We'd love to know!). by far the worst problem that we never really spoke about on camera , was our front door at home , we was actually worried about it the whole time we were away , it wouldn't close and lock properly , it took us an hour to even get out the house that morning and was dreading our return , then the Awning lights , then the pitch drama , THEN the Water pump , a holiday nightmare , after inspection we were advised we needed a new front door and the same with water pump!! ..... The LED Awning lights remain up , working , and intact!

Hi kev yes that was a hectic break , hardly relaxed at all but you only ever come across van issues when we are away in them unfortunately.
plus point correct! Fish n chips went down well 👍😀

Hello Mike and Kirsty, this looked a lovely campsite with a walk to the abbey ruins. Shame you were messed about with your pitch when you arrived, but at least they bought you both a drink, take care have a great weekend x Julie and Tony x

Mike & Kirsty 👍😀
Hi great vlog ! just to let you know if you turn left out of the site then follow half a mile to the main road turn right again then your less than a mile from leiston town . Half the distance you've been riding 😂
typical! thanks for the info though for next time we go
👍
Eeech that's worrying about your front door! Hope you have great neighbours and a door cam!.
We've just bought our very first campervan, a Fiat Ducato too! Man, we have sooooo many questions!
We love Suffolk ❤️ N&Nx
yes we were worried the whole time , we were told its had it ! so had to get new one
Great news about your new van!
and hope you make many happy memories , it’s definitely a learning curve but once you get used to it there will be no going back
thanks for watching the video and commenting
Mike & Kirsty
But after a crappy start it all went well and there was fish and chips? :) Thanks for the visits to sites to give us ideas where to go!
Most welcome it was a nice place well worth a visit , fish n chips were great ! thanks for watching the video and commenting
Mike & Kirsty
It looks like you had an eventful trip, Mike. Pitch mix-ups are a pain, but at least you ended up with a decent one.
Nice to see you all out again. Hope the pump problem gets sorted. Cheers, Rob.
Hi rob yes plenty going on that weekend , always happens at the same time , pump is being sorted soon hopefully
thanks for watching and commenting

Another great video. Love the way you film. Had a chuckle at the speeded up bike ride back - you must have a good throttle on that bike 😉. Great credits at the end too. Ps. Hope you managed to sort the pump out.
thanks , getting the pump sorted soon , glad you liked the video its much appreciated , thanks for watching
all the best
Mike & Kirsty 👍😀

Great vlog, as always. Hope your pump got fixed. Loved the credits at the end too

Mike & Kirsty
Yes-we did know about the heat shield and it always rattled. We don’t have an oven this time just a hob and we carry our small Remoska. Thanks for showing the site.
we never knew that was a heat shield , at least we do now , it was a lovely site very well kept and really nice staff
thanks for watching the video
Mike & Kirsty
What a shame you had all those problems. Hoping the water is now sorted. I liked the look of the site but Kirsty changed my mind with the dodge water sprays in the showers 😂😂😂. Had no idea about the pull out above the grill. Loved the ending credits. Take care Gill
Hi gill it was a lovely site , we really enjoyed it there apart from our water pump and jobs ! i thought i’d do something different with the ending credits 😂 thanks again for watching and commenting
Mike & Kirsty
Nice to see the new doggie settling in,I assume by now the pump has been replaced ,we'll see in the next vlog ❤
the water pump will be getting sorted soon , the dog is a pain ! so much energy 😂 , but settling in well and getting used to the van now
thanks for watching the video and commenting 👍😀
Well that was an eventful vid Mike! Very enjoyable. P.S. loved the end credits!
cheers mike , it was a hectic break to say the least , oh yeah the end credits 😂 , something different i thought
thanks for watching 👍
We really enjoy watching your videos , it looks a really nice site . Sarah from Derbyshire
thank you much appreciated, the site really is nice , well worth a visit if your ever in the area
thanks for watching
all the best
Mike & kirsty
That is a lovely part of the country and a good looking site with good amenities all at a good price point, with cracking dog walks, can always count on not being to far from an old ruin in the UK to visit, led light was an easy fix for Kirsty and the pump is not really much of an issue to sort out, nice looking fish and chips but not the cheapest nowadays, shame as they are a British tradition really, anyway another enjoyable vlog keep them coming 👍
it was a nice site in a good location , that was the cheapest fish n chips we had this year so far if we hadn’t of had the shandy’s, i remember when you could get cod and chips twice for £10 and that wasn’t too
long ago , utter madness!
But we’d go back there the pitches were large and serviced , the lights have stayed up and water pump arriving soon 👍 thanks again for watching and commenting
have a good week
Mike & Kirsty
There’s plenty going on in this video, Mike. I really enjoy your videos. All the best, Kev and Tracey. P.S. I loved the group photo from Clopton.
Hi guys thanks , yes it was a mad weekend , clopton was an excellent rally sad we couldn’t attend this year , hope to meet up again soon 👍
take care , mike & kirsty
Great vid guys! Hope you got your pump sorted Mike.❤️❤️ Paul & Lin.
@@paullawrence8572 Hi Paul & Lin , thanks , we have recently received the new pump and should be getting it installed soon
thanks for watching the video
Mike & Kirsty👍
Another great video 😁 new dog is getting you both trained quite well 😁 hope you get your water sorted.

Mike & Kirsty

@@barrywood5357 cheers barry !

is that what it was! i literally asked the store clerk i need something that sticks and is reliable , he pointed me to where it all was i grabbed it ! yes well worth a visit we loved it there
thanks for watching the video
Love the titles 🤩
@@evelynspanner2963 thanks & thanks for watching the video 👍😀
Yep workers 6 vans round us ,they were brilliant left early no noise joined us for a sherb on the evening
The name cakes and ale is from a book by Somerset Maughn 😊
ah! brilliant thanks di, was really hoping someone would know something , we thought what a strange name for a campsite 👍😀
thanks for watching 👀
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel They have also got a campsite called The Moon and Sixpence - by the same author.
Cakes and ale is the sister site to the Moon and Sixpence ,another good site in Suffolk
thank you will have to look that one up 👍
Another great video guys. You mentioned tv signal, do you have a reliable way of knowing which way to point the aerial?
Our aerial is a fixed position one , our last van had a directional one and i had a phone app i used to look at to determine what way to face the aerial , if you do a search theres a few to choose from
Hi guys another funny vid guys with little “jobs” to keep you on your toes 🤣🤣🤣🤣 pump is a bit of a bummer swop it out for a new one you know it will be good for at least another 6 years, thanks for my fish n chips fix, September I had to shoot to the uk in our van to see our daughters restaurant an still didn’t manage fish n chips in the 4 days I was there 😡 nice site guys, love a nice ruin me, laters …. Pete 🇫🇷
Hi pete , a UK visit and no fish n chips ! When we finally get to visit France the moules mariniere in the garlic and parsley sauce will definitely be on the menu 😋 , washed down with a bottle of evian 😂 , yes always the odd jobs on these vans , but they are only going to happen when we are away in them , new pump on its way ,
cheers pete 👍
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel when you get here guys if you are our way be sure to let us know moules mariniere is my favourite meal with Frits and baguette to mop up the sauce food fit for a Roi ( king ) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry we are late (catching up). I was wondering if the oump problems were due to you being on a serviced pitch and the hose arrangement creating a back pressure? Long shot but i thought I'd mention it 👍
i did consider that at first yes , but turned out it was the cracked filter housing attached to the pump drawing in air
Man Drawer !!! Gotta be done - home from home 😅
@@mattbgbr too right! 😀👍
You could have cut across the field’s 1/2 the distance great little site though 👍
we eventually found the right way to go , a lovely walk through the fields on nicely cut grass , thanks for watching the video
Pub on site, I'm booking for next year
@@HitchUpAndTow 😂👍 , its worth a visit it really is ! A lovely site with great staff
cheers guys 😀
Hi guys I do like watching your video however as a motorhome owner that travels overseas at least twice a year I was wondering if u had any plans to venture across the water and considering I've watched u for a few years it doesn't look likely/ what about the rest of uk at least !!! Jeez
we both work long hours and i work 12 days on and 2 off with limited holiday , as much as i’d like to drive around Europe and head down to France and spain , i simply cant , of course id love too and will do as soon as i get that opportunity 👍
@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel yeah fair point my rota is pants aswell too many weekends working 👌👍
How did the rubber chicken survive???
@@stuartrich2499 we found it dead the next morning 😂
