    Loved our first stay at Eye Kettleby back, site was certainly busier than when we visited back in January

      It was fully booked the whole weekend, lovely place. We had Sunday lunch there too which we can recommend 🚍🙏🏻

    Loved the reveal shot with wind sock and drone at the beginning followed by the reveal of the north and south sites. Watch the horizons though… not level so the gimbal might need calibrating.

    Looks lovely site. Are all those lakes fishing lakes or just scenic? Hubby loves his fishing, so just wondered 😊

    Hi guys love your blogs, or is it vlogs?.... "not sure" Here's a question for Andy if you let him get a word in edge ways lol. How are you finding driving lady B compared to your VW van? It must be twice as long. Did you find it difficult turning left and right at stop signs and going round roundabouts? with it being so long? Sorry if you think its a daft question but we were thinking of buying a long motorhome but was worried it may be tooooooo long if you know what i mean. Anyway love you guys and look forward to your next episode.

      Thanks Shaun, no idea about the blog/vlog. I think it’s a vlog and I’m sticking to it 😉
      This is Jo and I drive it sometimes, it’s surprisingly easier than I thought. I just had to be aware of tight turns and swing out further. Parking is no problem as long as you have a space big enough. We have added a tow car now and that frightens me more. Andy says it follows the van so perhaps I just need more confidence. So yes go for it, it’s not as bad as you imagine. Also I like being high up. We are currently in France and do well on the other side of the road too 🚍

      @LadyBMotorhomeAdventures  ปีที่แล้ว

      No, unfortunately it’s still illegal to tow unless it’s on a trailer. Hopefully this will change soon 🤞🏻

    Which A-frame have you gone for? They seem to vary a lot in cost! Does it have electronic braking?

    • @LadyBMotorhomeAdventures
      @LadyBMotorhomeAdventures  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes they do vary, we looked at one company who was 3k. So we hunted around and have gone for this company armitages.uk/

    Hi both, great vlog !
    I’ve seen the site before on various reviews but your drone footage gave an idea on how big the sites were.
    It certainly looked busy.
    The A frame is another job I need to do. Did you fit it yourself or someone installed it for you ?
    We have just changed the tow car as two plus a cockapoo doesn’t work in a smart car !
    Fiat 500 is the way forward.
    Keep up the great work on your channel.
    Best wishes
    Mark & Karen.

      Thank you, it is a big site but lovely walks to each area. The dog walk is one of the best, my ultimate favourite dog walk is Treamble in Cornwall.
      I honestly love the fiat 500, we bought a C1 but I hated it. We did a bit of research and used a company armitages trailers
      armitages.uk
      It was £1200 for a frame and installation 🚍🥰

      @@LadyBMotorhomeAdventures Hello… It looks like a pretty good site to put “in the book”
      The other site we liked the look of that you visited was Sherwood Pines. That will be great in a few years when the bushes get more established.
      Yes, we cannot fault the 500. Great car.
      I’ve got the A frame and the bit that goes behind the bumper, I really need to get on and fit it !
      Hunters Moon, Wareham club site have a good dog walk.
      Keep up the great vlogs !
      Best wishes

      Hi, another nice blog with great shots with the drone , we also got the same A frame to tow our VW up !! Just be careful that the brake linkage has a couple of inches play as I had mine too tight and it was pulling the car brakes on when towing , but after adjusting it tows loverly even if the frame is a touch heavy to man handle . Anyway keep the videos coming they are great 👍

      @@LadyBMotorhomeAdventures we still use Ethel when we know we can’t get into the little places. Tip… if you go to a campsite that’s a bit tucked away, pull over a few miles before the campsite and unhitch, both drive in solo 👍🏻 Reverse the plan when you leave 😉🚐 🚙
