I was a GCE student in the UK, in the late 70’s. All I remember, it rained every day. Your camper as they say in the UK, is lovely. In American campers , because of the rain, theY have a “rain windows“?. The bottom 1/4 of any window , is a separate window. It opens to the outside at a 45 degree angle. The water from the rain flows down and has an insect screen. I thought this is a great idea for The Always rainy Weather in the UK. The other feature is, the sky vent/exhaust fan is also rain proof. You can open it in the rain and has an Insect screen. Thank you
Some of the UK gets a lot of rain. The windows can be opened on our Campervan and the roof fan also has a rainproof cover on the top. Thank you for watching and for your comments 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
Thank God All Mighty that someone is actually able to make a video presentation which is quiet, slow and very nicely presented and with a steady and nice camera. AND without audio that suffocates you. Now to the van. This is the type of van I would like to have, why? Because the whole concept is actually working in a very practical and at the same time with good design and materials. Wish you good times with the van. Thank you from Oslo.
Thank you so much Harald we really appreciate your comments. We are delighted with the van too and it really is compact luxury and comfort on wheels 😃🚐 take care 👍🏻 Trev n Sue
… although the music in the background drowns out the voice and for people like me with adhd it makes it impossible to hear the voice as all we hear is the music, which is really terrible but I’m interested in the van so I’ll watch without sound ~ where there’s a will there’s a way :)
Hi Trev and Sue, well I really enjoyed looking at Smirf and looking inside him too. Well done Sue you did a grand tour, it’s absolutely lovely, love the upholstery, plenty of room for everything you need to take away with you. I loved how the tv had its own little cupboard and the cooker and cover is such a good idea. The bathroom is very roomy, good idea about the rail for hanging towels. I bet you are really excited for your upcoming tour to Scotland. Will look forward to following you both xx
Beautiful presentation, love your style of presentation quiet lovely , and informative, enjoy your journeys and Thankyou for allowing us to see your beautiful van would love to have one , in time take care and enjoy 💝
Congratulations on your new camper van. It looks beautiful inside and out. The more you use it the more organized you will become and you’ll figure out what things you actually need with you and those you don’t. Have you ever thought about storing the extra bedding underneath one of the benches so that you can use the upper cabinets for other things like heavier clothes for your trip to Scotland. I would love to travel and go camping if I had a camper van like yours. We didn’t have a car strong enough to pull my parents pop up camper trailer when Dad asked if we would like it so we didn’t take it and my younger sister and her husband did and she left it with his family when they got divorced.
We have tried storing bedding in the lower lockers and it works well too. The rear overhead locker is huge so we are able to store lots of things in there 😃 Thanks for your support and comments 👍🏻😃🚐 Trev n Sue
I’m late to viewing this video, but as a woman clinging to my ‘74 VW Westfalia camper van, I thoroughly enjoyed the look and layout of your VW retro home. Absolutely lovely and cozy! Thanks for the tour!
enjoyed that trev & sue what a bootiful van , a very well presented guided tour , i love the toilet area with the windows and also the kitchen top , but the winner is the u shaped lounge with the ledges to put your bits n bobs on , all in all , a lovely van , easier manoeuvrability & easier to clean! 👍😀 thanks for showing us around
Lovely van. Have you thought about putting all your bedding in vacuum packs and keeping a small battery powered hoover at hand? It would make it a lot easier and free up some more room
We are playing catch up on you tube, just watched this one it was great. Smurf is amazing great tour. The door is a game changer 😊Take care Sarah and Lee
Thanks for the look around Trev and Sue. You have a cracking van there and, I for one like the habitation door, I feel it sets it apart from the usual van conversion. I was impressed that you can fit all your bedding in the overhead locker. We have Duvalay mattresses which have the duvet attached and they take up quite a bit of storage space. Well worth it for sleeping comfort though, we wouldn't be without them. Have a great time in Scotland. I will look out for your vlogs.
Thanks Robert. We bought the Duvalay toppers with covers and separate duvets from a local source. It means I can roll everything up tightly and fill all the gaps in the one cupboard 😃🚐 Trev
We have the Duvalay’s also! (Disco Bed in US sells them) Now, all we need is to find a US outfitter who can get rid of the sliding door! Seriously, we love our campervan & use it frequently. Thanks for the tour of yours👍🏻💖
Do they have a van like yours made with the steering wheel on the left side I’m from shingle town California in the USA , it would actually be interesting driving with the steering wheel on the opposite side it just may take a little while to get use to love it though beautiful Thankyou again for a lovely presentation
This van is built for the UK market in Yorkshire England. The company is www.Ihmotorhomes.com if you need more technical information. They are a first class company to work with 😃 Trev
So pleased for you both big up the van crew a home from home amazingly built to a very high standard the bath room is very nice loving all the windows one thing we like about ours is sitting down off an evening looking out at the views happy travels hope to see you on the road sometime all the best donny
Really enjoyed the van tour. Love the VW and the side door is great. No banging the door in the middle of the night and waking everyone up. Thanks for sharing.
Smurf is beautiful! Having both a Motorhome and now a Campervan, we can completely appreciate a lot of these features in here - its the perfect mix of the two. The body of a van so its less creaky and a bit slimmer but with the best bits of a coach build like the windows, window blinds and believe it or not, the hab door. Now I have had a sliding door, I am actually appreciating the motorhome hab door so much more, its quieter (never realised how noisy a van sliding door is until you are trying to get in or out of your vehicle quietly at night) and the bin is super handy (we use ours to store Cat bits in too :D). Really chuffed for you on this new van, look forward to seeing your Scotland trip!
Thanks so much guys. It means a lot to hear kind words from experienced full timers. We thought long and hard but in the end gave up the big spacious coach built for the luxury, comfort and compactness of the van conversion. Life is full of exciting change and this is certainly proving that case 😃🚐👍🏻 Trev
Can never understand why people with vans have to slide their doors noisily every time they close them. We have a van and we just close it slowly and nudge it shut, very little noise :-)
Great tour of a beautiful van & I really like the habitation door, the gas struts look a great job to steady it if there's a sudden gust of wind. Happy touring to you both & of coarse Oscar & Sophie too.
We have upgraded the gas strut on the hab door to 200 newtons as it was only 50 and not firm enough for us. Thanks for your lovely comments 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
It’s a really nice van conversion. I can see why you fell for it. Being quieter than the motor home must be a real big plus. I am sure both of you will have many happy trips in Smurf.
Trevor and Sue this is a beautiful camper the interior looks so homely and cosy. The entrance door is not 'weird' or 'out of touch' either. It is unique and it is nice to see a van like yours and not the usual copy cat van designs seen so often on TH-cam. Enjoy your travels in your wonderful camper.
The RV camper looks great...VW has put a lot of thought into this "spacious" camper. How much do they cost and are they available in the U.S.A.? Thank you both for the tour showing all of the amenities of your home away from home. God's Speed as your traveling.
Thanks so much. The van conversions are done by a small company in Yorkshire England and cost from £75,000 GBP. It may be the case that a similar company convert the VW Crafter van in the US 🙂 Trev
Lovely to meet you guys yesterday and see your van in the flesh. What a vehicle, inside and out. Lovely finish with those decals round the windows. Enjoy your travels in France. 😊
They make all their models with or without sliding doors or barn doors. This is the great thing about IH, you can have what you want in any colour you want, the van is built for you 😃🚐👍🏻 Trev
What a gorgeous conversion. So well and thoughtfully done. Interested to see what was specifically specified by you guys. Sounds like quite a lot. I love the door can’t see what’s not to like. Does look unusual but not in a bad way. I bet it’s lovely to drive in. We used to have a 7m MotorHome coach built. The width was the issue. AnywY love it Trev and Sue 😎🧙♂️. 👍
Thanks again. There was a long list of extras and that’s the beauty of IH. They build the vans on your spec. Nothing is mass produced so every unit is individual. It comes at a cost though but like I said to Sue, we only live once 😉🚐 Trev
First of all, I love the color. That draws me in right away. I'm so impressed with all the storage inside this compact rig. I'm a big fan of storage. So much easier to organize. It's a decent sized bathroom area too. I do feel lazy when I think about setting up a bed every evening. But I think I would sacrifice the extra work just to have such a cool rig. The interior colors are appealing to me too. Would take a bit of getting used to going from larger to smaller. But I've no doubt you'll adjust. Off to Scotland. Oh yay! I can't wait to see those upcoming videos.
Great review of Smirf Trev and Sue, thanks for letting us look round your lovely new Campervan 😁👏 Very impressed with the storage lockers and that bathroom has to be the best in a van conversion ever! It’s amazing use of space and some really innovative ideas from IH. Can’t wait to see your Scotland trip in Smirf, we are currently on the NC500 in glorious sunshine so hope it stays for you 😁
We do have fruit and vegetables on board and we can go for a week by making good use of the freezer too. So there is no need to entirely rely on tins and boxes although they play an important part to minimise storage needs. 😃🚐 Trev
In the UK alot of homes had small refrigerators unlike in the U.S they dont load their refrigerator with all the stuff we do & they do more fresh food items
Ever been to Europe? It is… different. I’ve been on a few work projects and found it fascinating. They walk to the bus/train/subway, and on the way Home pass all of these dozens of wonderful shops. You buy what you need for that night or weekend, it’s fresh, smaller quantities because you’re carrying the stuff home. And… It works! ❤ It different than here in the states where you drive to the store and load up the cart for a week or more. The shop owners will recommend cooking and sides, and once you adjust returning to the USA just seems wasteful. Might be slightly different in an RV, but wherever you go you will find wonderful local shops with amazing food. 😊
Looks very nice Trev & Sue. Plenty of storage for all your bits n bobs. The front cab area looks spacious with the seat turned round. Rear lounge looks a relaxing place to sit and watch the world go by! Looking forward to seeing your travels in Smurf! Take care, Martin
We are delighted with the van and its already exceeding expectations with comfort and driving experience. It’s compact yes, but we have everything we had in the larger vehicle and more flexibility to get into places where we couldn’t reach. Scotland is going to be interesting 😃 thanks for your support and see you on the road soon 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
It took us many years of saving to get this van. We know how lucky we are and would welcome you back to follow our adventures. Thank you for your honest comments 🙂🚐 Trev
Very well designed camper, no wasted space, and love the color. The only problem I see is the steering wheel is on the wrong side 😊. Nothing like that available in the USA. Enjoy your new home.
We reckon our VW t6 is a great compromise. Small enough for the tiniest of roads and with the swivel chairs and rear seat on rails more than enough space for when you are confined for the evening . Plus the bed arrangement . It takes seconds to convert from sitting to sleeping accommodation. The under sheet, duvet and , if necessary, top blanket, just roll up to stow behind the seat for travelling and unroll for sleeping.
The VW T6 vans are awesome. We have been trying to get hold of one for a weekend to do a trial to see if we can downsize. The other great thing is that it would tow a trailer for those longer tours when you need more gear. It’s all about choice though but Mrs Poshcat must have a private washroom and the T6 it a little tight for space in that department 😉 Safe travels 🚐👍🏻 Trev
This is the perfect van…❤️ the only thing I’d change is a bigger screen/tv but you’ve lots of room to add it where you currently have the tv … love the removal of the rear doors and adding a boot
great video thanks for sharing van looks fab now you shown it to us agree with sue about the curtains only time we have used them if away at wintertime for more insulation looking fwd to your scotland trip enjoy your new van
We downsized from a huge Chausson motor home to a Wildax Aurora Leisure XL, and have no regrets at all! We love our van and have come to realise just how much stuff we DONT need to keep in it lol. Hope you have many wonderful adventures in your van 👍
Thank you. Yes we have found that we can travel with less stuff and only take things we need. These things change depending on the trip or the time of year. Thanks for your comments and wishing you safe travels 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
Thank you, we do enjoy the driving comfort that the VW brings and the conversion has just about everything that’s needed all year round. Really appreciate your lovely comments 🚐💙 Trev n Sue
I like the way you have the screens and blinds together. You guys will find your new normal organization in no time I'm sure! Safe travels in Scotland!
I like your van! Good job done,just one thing you said About your bed and pillows stored in top box at back of van.This is just an idea you may like. 1/ ever think about vacuum bags put bedding in them take the air out and Bob's your uncle as the saying goes And you have one almost flat bag. Give you extra room? 2/ before anybody says anything re the vacuum I'm not talking about your house hold up right! You can get small ones I expect for motor homes caravan ect.
We had thought about vacuum packs but haven’t tried it. This van has a good amount of storage so we seem to be coping ok at the moment. Thanks for the suggestion, we appreciate your comments 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
Beautiful 'van. Always liked IH, very much a nautical quality, feel about them, premium product at a premium price but then you get what you pay for. Have great travels and make wonderful memories.
Thanks so much, yes we agree that you gets what you pay for. We hope to get value from our investment by using the van all year round and making plenty of memories 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
@@PoshcatsCamping Exactly, our latest van, a long wheel base Ford Nugget Plus, delayed again until September, cost more than my first flat! With three small children we often have to have two hotel rooms. We do make sure we use the 'van, at least twice a month for weekends and of course almost all the school holidays. It will have paid for itself within 3 to 4 years and we will still have the asset after that. I see so many leisure vehicles parked on drives nearly all year round. That's almost criminal!
Hi Trev and Sue. First time in your channel ...suggested by a friend and the video is very nicely presented. Looking forward to more Poshcats Adventures. Huge hugs for both of you from Colombia.
Wow love it especially the door and the back ( I don’t like my sliding door or the double back door but I didn’t think you could have any different ). I love your washroom too.
Very interesting guys. When I saw you had changed from your Swift which had so much space I wondered why. I can see what your about now. I particularly like the " no rattle" aspect. Let's see how you go! Good luck and happy travels!
What a beautifully converted van I was admiring an identical van at the Norfolk motor home show parked up almost opposite us across the road to our 24 year old indigo blue T4 conversion , I think we were the only T4 there I didn't see another one but I only saw the one ih conversion with the motor home door as well
Thanks so much for your comments. I think what you saw was us parked by the roadway at the Norfolk Motorhome Show. We live in Ipswich and we were camping there for 3 nights. We love the VW car like drive having had a Ducato coach built for 4 years, this is a dream on the road to drive. The 8 speed auto 177 bhp engine helps of course. If you see us again, do pop over and say Hi and collect one of our stickers 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
lol I have just found your footage of the Norfolk show and our t4 was tucked in beside the t5 almost across the road to you and yep I'm a bit of a vw nut too . We live in Southend so not much further down the road for us
Lovely tour of your new van, I bet it feels like a moho inside and not a van conversion, A lot of planning and thought has gone into the design of it. Hope you get on well with it up in bonnie Scotland enjoy your trip looking forward to seeing how you cope with it.
@@PoshcatsCamping you are very welcome Trev I am new to the channel been enjoying watching your older videos and following the amazing adventures you and sue have had
What a Fantastic tour Trev. Its great to see the vans in use! We'll look forward to seeing you next time you're around the factory :D

Does look unusual but not in a bad way. I bet it’s lovely to drive in. We used to have a 7m MotorHome coach built. The width was the issue. AnywY love it Trev and Sue 😎🧙♂️. 👍
Thanks again. There was a long list of extras and that’s the beauty of IH. They build the vans on your spec. Nothing is mass produced so every unit is individual. It comes at a cost though but like I said to Sue, we only live once 😉🚐 Trev
@@PoshcatsCamping for sure Trev. This isn’t a rehearsal. Quite liberating when you accept that. 🙏🧙♂️
Outstanding presentation Trevor and Susan. Hat's off to you both!
Thank you very much 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
First of all, I love the color. That draws me in right away. I'm so impressed with all the storage inside this compact rig. I'm a big fan of storage. So much easier to organize. It's a decent sized bathroom area too. I do feel lazy when I think about setting up a bed every evening. But I think I would sacrifice the extra work just to have such a cool rig. The interior colors are appealing to me too. Would take a bit of getting used to going from larger to smaller. But I've no doubt you'll adjust. Off to Scotland. Oh yay! I can't wait to see those upcoming videos.
Thanks so much Felix and Jessie we appreciate your lovely comments and will Vlog some of that history you love so much 😉👍🏻 Trev n Sue
You two are ADORABLE!!!...
CARRY ON and SAFE JOURNEYS!!!
Thanks very much, we have started touring so will Vlog more adventures soon 😃🚐👍🏻 Trev n Sue
Trev and Sue van is lovely, looking forward to following your adventures 👍
Thanks Colin, looking forward to our long September trip 😃🚐 Trev
Great review of Smirf Trev and Sue, thanks for letting us look round your lovely new Campervan 😁👏 Very impressed with the storage lockers and that bathroom has to be the best in a van conversion ever! It’s amazing use of space and some really innovative ideas from IH. Can’t wait to see your Scotland trip in Smirf, we are currently on the NC500 in glorious sunshine so hope it stays for you 😁
Thanks so much. We are heading north on Friday, would love to catch up on the road with you sometime. Safe travels 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
Thurston Howell and Lovey simply adore their Blue Smirfmobile
Thank you 😊 Trev n Sue
If you can keep enough stuff in that fridge for a week then you must eat almost entirely canned and boxed foods - it is entirely too small !
We do have fruit and vegetables on board and we can go for a week by making good use of the freezer too. So there is no need to entirely rely on tins and boxes although they play an important part to minimise storage needs. 😃🚐 Trev
In the UK alot of homes had small refrigerators unlike in the U.S they dont load their refrigerator with all the stuff we do & they do more fresh food items
You must be American!
Ever been to Europe? It is… different. I’ve been on a few work projects and found it fascinating. They walk to the bus/train/subway, and on the way Home pass all of these dozens of wonderful shops. You buy what you need for that night or weekend, it’s fresh, smaller quantities because you’re carrying the stuff home. And… It works! ❤ It different than here in the states where you drive to the store and load up the cart for a week or more. The shop owners will recommend cooking and sides, and once you adjust returning to the USA just seems wasteful. Might be slightly different in an RV, but wherever you go you will find wonderful local shops with amazing food. 😊
Excellent video again you two. Smirf looks fantastic. thanks for sharing and enjoy your time ;))
Thank you Stew, we appreciate your support 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
Looks very nice Trev & Sue. Plenty of storage for all your bits n bobs. The front cab area looks spacious with the seat turned round. Rear lounge looks a relaxing place to sit and watch the world go by!
Looking forward to seeing your travels in Smurf! Take care, Martin
We are delighted with the van and its already exceeding expectations with comfort and driving experience. It’s compact yes, but we have everything we had in the larger vehicle and more flexibility to get into places where we couldn’t reach. Scotland is going to be interesting 😃 thanks for your support and see you on the road soon 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
Oh its a perfect motorhomes for me. its look and feel comfortable living it there. Hoping for having like that someday.
Thank you for your lovely comments 😃 Trev n Sue
You have designed my fantasy retirement home. Beautiful and perfectly appointed! 👍👍👍
Thank you Bella we will be doing more videos about how we are using the van very soon 😀 Trev n Sue
Great video sue ,looking like a perfect sales person,can’t wait for more video from Scotland.
Thank you Walt, we will do plenty of Vlogs from Scotland 🏴 😃 Sue
Fantastic.. fully loaded, you left nothing out. Beautiful motorhome
Thanks so much 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
How could anyone not like your campervan,beautiful,enjoy your travels👍👍👍
Thanks so much, we are off touring very shortly 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
This is the most beautiful cozy camper I have seen
Thanks so much 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
hope you both have a lovely time in you travels together
Thank you Jed, we appreciate your comments 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
I would love to have a Van like that but unfortunately. I can't afford one so I'll just watch. Everyone else lived the dream so thanks for sharing.
It took us many years of saving to get this van. We know how lucky we are and would welcome you back to follow our adventures. Thank you for your honest comments 🙂🚐 Trev
Very well designed camper, no wasted space, and love the color. The only problem I see is the steering wheel is on the wrong side 😊. Nothing like that available in the USA. Enjoy your new home.
Thanks David, we love it too, it’s proving to be a joy to tour with in the UK 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
We reckon our VW t6 is a great compromise. Small enough for the tiniest of roads and with the swivel chairs and rear seat on rails more than enough space for when you are confined for the evening . Plus the bed arrangement . It takes seconds to convert from sitting to sleeping accommodation. The under sheet, duvet and , if necessary, top blanket, just roll up to stow behind the seat for travelling and unroll for sleeping.
The VW T6 vans are awesome. We have been trying to get hold of one for a weekend to do a trial to see if we can downsize. The other great thing is that it would tow a trailer for those longer tours when you need more gear. It’s all about choice though but Mrs Poshcat must have a private washroom and the T6 it a little tight for space in that department 😉 Safe travels 🚐👍🏻 Trev
This is the perfect van…❤️ the only thing I’d change is a bigger screen/tv but you’ve lots of room to add it where you currently have the tv … love the removal of the rear doors and adding a boot
Thanks David. The TV enclosure can be removed and a larger screen would fit in that space 👍🏻😃 Trev
Great van guys really nice love the side and rear boot , enjoy
Thanks so much for your comments Paul 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
Stunning 😍 The ultimate panel van & conversion 👌🍾🍾🍾
Thanks so much, we love it 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
I love the tour of this vehicle. Quite interesting video. Have a nice day.
Thank you so much for watching 😃 Trev n Sue
great video thanks for sharing van looks fab now you shown it to us agree with sue about the curtains only time we have used them if away at wintertime for more insulation
looking fwd to your scotland trip enjoy your new van
Thanks so much, we are hitting the road very soon 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
One of the beautiful VW i ever saw very beautiful ❤️🥰
Thank you 😊 💕
We downsized from a huge Chausson motor home to a Wildax Aurora Leisure XL, and have no regrets at all! We love our van and have come to realise just how much stuff we DONT need to keep in it lol. Hope you have many wonderful adventures in your van 👍
Thank you. Yes we have found that we can travel with less stuff and only take things we need. These things change depending on the trip or the time of year. Thanks for your comments and wishing you safe travels 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
The two of you look very happy in Smurf! Wonderful choice. 👍👍😀😀
Thank you, yes we are very happy indeed with Smirf. Just on route to our next campsite with everything we need on board 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
That’s one of the nicest motorhomes I’ve seen. Wishing you many happy holidays in it.
Thanks so much 😊🚐💙 Trev n Sue
Very nicely done ✔ that is long. Nice layout. Congratulations on a lovely caravan
Thanks so much for your comments 😃🚐👍🏻 Trev n Sue
That's a great van, and you are a great couple, best of luck with the travels.
Thanks so much, the tours start very soon 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev
I absolutely love the artwork!!
Thank you 😊 Trev n Sue
Lovely van, just returned from nec show a bit disappointed with what’s on offer, this gives me some hope again👍👍
Thanks Lee, we felt the same. Best wishes 🚐 Trev n Sue
Really enjoyed your tour, great looking van. Linda & Raymond
Thank you very much 😃💙🚐 Trev n Sue
Beautiful van and great tour around thanks and enjoy Scotland, looking forward to catching up with your adventures,,👍
Thanks so much Jon. We will be vlogging our tour and are keeping fingers crossed for good weather 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
Congrats absolutely fabulous campervan . Great video. I think Trev has been outshone in the presentation stakes. 👏👏
Thanks for the lovely comments John 😃 Trev n Sue
I Enjoyed Watching All Of That, AWESOME 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks so much 🚐💕😂 Trev n Sue
I love your motorhome. One of the best van conversions I have ever seen. Its also a great colour.
Thanks so much Dale, really appreciate that 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
@@PoshcatsCamping Is the colour by any chance Ipswich Town blue?
That is an amazing motor home
Definitely what you need for long holiday away from home , well smart
Thank you, we do enjoy the driving comfort that the VW brings and the conversion has just about everything that’s needed all year round. Really appreciate your lovely comments 🚐💙 Trev n Sue
I like the way you have the screens and blinds together. You guys will find your new normal organization in no time I'm sure! Safe travels in Scotland!
Thank you Megan, we are excited about the next tour, it’s going to be very green 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
Lovely van that guys. Hope you have many happy miles in her/him/it.
Thanks very much, we love the van and have started planning some extra long tours 😃🚐 Trev
What a lovely van thanks for the tour 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much Paul 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev
I like your van!
Good job done,just one thing you said
About your bed and pillows stored in top box at back of van.This is just an idea you may like.
1/ ever think about vacuum bags put bedding in them take the air out and Bob's your uncle as the saying goes
And you have one almost flat bag.
Give you extra room?
2/ before anybody says anything re the vacuum I'm not talking about your house hold up right! You can get small ones I expect for motor homes caravan ect.
We had thought about vacuum packs but haven’t tried it. This van has a good amount of storage so we seem to be coping ok at the moment. Thanks for the suggestion, we appreciate your comments 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
Totally awesome van, much van envy here ….. brilliant review
Thanks so much, we are thrilled with it and can’t wait to get on the road 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
This is beautiful. Keep on enjoying life
Thanks so much. We are having a lot of fun touring in the van 🚐 😃👍🏻 Trev n Sue
Beautiful 'van. Always liked IH, very much a nautical quality, feel about them, premium product at a premium price but then you get what you pay for. Have great travels and make wonderful memories.
Thanks so much, yes we agree that you gets what you pay for. We hope to get value from our investment by using the van all year round and making plenty of memories 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
@@PoshcatsCamping Exactly, our latest van, a long wheel base Ford Nugget Plus, delayed again until September, cost more than my first flat! With three small children we often have to have two hotel rooms. We do make sure we use the 'van, at least twice a month for weekends and of course almost all the school holidays. It will have paid for itself within 3 to 4 years and we will still have the asset after that. I see so many leisure vehicles parked on drives nearly all year round. That's almost criminal!
That is something special, i would love one .
Thank you 😊 Trev n Sue
What a lovely van you have. Fit and finish look superb. May you both have many trips to look forward to in Smurf :)
Thanks so much for your lovely comments 😃🚐👍🏻 Trev n Sue
Well done guys a great van layout.
Thank you 😊 We really love the downsize and got used to it very quickly 👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
Hi Trev and Sue. First time in your channel ...suggested by a friend and the video is very nicely presented. Looking forward to more Poshcats Adventures. Huge hugs for both of you from Colombia.
Thanks so much and welcome 😃 We are starting our winter season now with the new van 🚐 Trev n Sue
Wow love it especially the door and the back ( I don’t like my sliding door or the double back door but I didn’t think you could have any different ). I love your washroom too.
Thanks so much. We were impressed by the practical use of space and IH Motorhomes really did a good job on design. 😃🚐👍🏻 Trev
Great Van and a very good tour well done you two
Thanks so much, we are delighted with the van 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
Very interesting guys.
When I saw you had changed from your Swift which had so much space I wondered why. I can see what your about now. I particularly like the " no rattle" aspect. Let's see how you go! Good luck and happy travels!
Thank you Mark, it’s a big change but we are convinced it’s the right move for us now. Lots of fabulous plans for the future too 👍🏻😃🚐 Trev n Sue
Love this,especially the lounge area!
Thank you, we love the lounge. It’s very comfortable and cosy too. 😀 Trev n Sue
What a beautifully converted van I was admiring an identical van at the Norfolk motor home show parked up almost opposite us across the road to our 24 year old indigo blue T4 conversion , I think we were the only T4 there I didn't see another one but I only saw the one ih conversion with the motor home door as well
Thanks so much for your comments. I think what you saw was us parked by the roadway at the Norfolk Motorhome Show. We live in Ipswich and we were camping there for 3 nights. We love the VW car like drive having had a Ducato coach built for 4 years, this is a dream on the road to drive. The 8 speed auto 177 bhp engine helps of course. If you see us again, do pop over and say Hi and collect one of our stickers 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
lol I have just found your footage of the Norfolk show and our t4 was tucked in beside the t5 almost across the road to you and yep I'm a bit of a vw nut too .
We live in Southend so not much further down the road for us
@@essexalien7504 hope to see you out on the road sometime 👍🏻🚐
Beautiful Beautiful van so pleased for u both 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much. We can’t wait to get out on the road with it. 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
Lovely tour of your new van, I bet it feels like a moho inside and not a van conversion, A lot of planning and thought has gone into the design of it. Hope you get on well with it up in bonnie Scotland enjoy your trip looking forward to seeing how you cope with it.
Yes we think it’s a motorhome thinly disguised as a van conversion 🤣 or perhaps the other way round. Thanks for your comments 😃🚐👍🏻 Trev
I really like the size and layout of your van, looks great for a couple 😊
Thank you, it really is perfect for a couple but not no great for a family 🙂 Trev
Such a great motor home and so
Well appointed IH do a great job and go the extra mile
Thank you for your comments, we have been to some amazing places and enjoyed the comfort and flexibility of the IH conversion 🚐 Trev
@@PoshcatsCamping you are very welcome Trev I am new to the channel been enjoying watching your older videos and following the amazing adventures you and sue have had
@@danielrussell446 thank you 😊 we have a festival, two rallies, two European trips and a whole host of places to see in summer 2023 😃🚐👍🏻
Yes, I agree @harald, great presentation.
Thanks for watching 🙂 Trev n Sue
Beautiful. Suggest the Lagune table. Game changer.
What’s a Lagune table Lisa ? We are interested 😃🚐 Trev n Sue
