We were right next the very noisy A82, sad to say didn't get much sleep with very noisy lorries on the road all night. It didn't help that the heavens opened up. Nice walk down into the village.
Hi Bob,Jenny, Poppy and Tara, a lovely pitch looking out over the loch, a lovely site and walk around. Thankyou for showing us around x glad you are enjoying the van x seems a little pricey but the views are amazing x
Tebay ( north bound ) are great motorway services plus they have a motorhome / caravan site with electric hook up's , fresh water , waste ( grey & black ), toilets & bins etc. £23.00 per night and you get a £3.00 voucher to spend in the farm shop so pretty good value for an overnight stop on the way up to Scotland.
Wow, that is one pricey campsite, Bob! We've just stayed at Concierge campsite for less than you paid at Luss and I can confirm Concierge is a 5* site - very luxurious and a real treat.
It was far worse in Season last year, the Warden crammed us in as a favour without h/u electric ⚡️ for only £17 a night . Prices were crazy, and for a while I gave up on following similar Vloggers such as these . So, watch this space again. We wouldn’t go without being members of the Caravan and Camping Club .
Poppy and Tara look so cute on the double lead, exploring things. So funny how Poppy is telling you to keep stroking her tummy, she really isn’t interested in the Jackery. Rather expensive for what you are getting but you have a fantastic view. Great video, thanks cheers to you both.🍺🍺
Hi Bob and Jenny. Lovely to see you on roads that we are so very familiar with - always makes us homesick. Interesting to see the Luss site - it's very different from the days when I camped there as a teenager, or when we caravanned in our early days. Some of the developments of the site and the loch-side pitches are good to see, but the price, with additions for this and that, are really taking the proverbial I'm afraid. Don't think your highlighting the cost, especially compared to the other sites you've used on this tour, is unreasonable at all, and I think most folks will appreciate the heads up on that. It's a site we would have considered on a Scottish trip, but won't now, if for no other reason than just on principle. Shame really as the location is great, but it's just too much extra being asked because of the view. Enjoy the rest of your tour. Thanks. George and Trish. 😊
Luss is such a quaint little place. Ouch at the price of the site, that really is a top end price, I would have perhaps expected a hot tub on the pitch for that 🙃 But hope you enjoyed yourselves as that’s the main thing and the views are beautiful and is well placed for the walk into Luss as it’s impossible to park in busier times. Good to see you both back in Scotland 🏴 Best wishes Em xx 😘
Lovely view from your park up, price has to be worth that looks very tranquil, hopefully in time before midge season. I will be going to the static caravan holiday/ see my Mum that day of jackery launch so will have to wait to watch not sure on wifi there.
Hi both, lovely looking site, great video. Regarding pricing, this year seems many sites have increased pricing and in some cases significantly. Sites in great locations with brilliant views like Luss are certainly cashing in on staycations, but who can blame them. This could however bite them in a year or two when things calm down and some people go back to holidaying overseas. I have seen sites charging an extra £10 per night for EHU, I don't mind paying what I use for electricity with the energy price hikes maybe by a meter, but £10 is a bit much. Take care and stay safe.
I love your journeys as always Bob and Jenny. You are my favourite TH-camrs. I love sharing your journeys and your trips. Thank you so much. I think this Ford Cabin, Engine and Gearbox is great and I guess you like it very much?! Would you like your current van (your own) with this drivetrain?
Hi Bob and jenny 👋 just us 2saying hi 🤔 thanks again for sharing this video update 🤔 that 1 site we are hoping to visit this summer 👋 den and sue 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚌🚌🚌
I suppose you're paying for the view at that site. As nice as it is, it does seem a tad expensive. Love watching Poppy and Tara enjoying all the walks they get. They certainly live a charmed life.
As nice as the outlook over the loch is I don't see anything to inspire me to want to stay at Luss. Besides the extortionate price there was the considerable Road noise and the tired outdated shower / toilet blocks. On our recent tour of Scotland we used caravan & camping sites which were much cheper and better equipped. I can sympathise with you because there's nothing more disappointing when your looking forward to a particular site and then getting that underwhelming feeling, hopefully your tour will improve as you travel onward?
Did I hear right you are both celebrating your birthday's. If so Happy Birthday 🎉🥳🍾 Have a great day whenever it is. If I got it wrong sorry 🤣Great video Luss is beautiful, we stopped off there last year on our tour
Hi Bob, Jenny, Poppy and Tara What were the chances of bumping into you both, at the motorway services on Saturday 😮 I agree about the excellent dog walking at them services, best we have seen We have enjoyed our 3wks travelling round Scotland 😃 back home to plan our next trip Nice seeing you again, last time we see you was Feb 2020 at the NEC Take care both
There's two club sites across the Loch that are around half the price for exactly the same,plus there's no traffic noise as the road is a dead end. That seems like an absolute rip off.
Hi Bob, what a lovely services to call into, its a pity they are over charging for the Luss site. You should have played the Benny Hill tune when Poppy was going at 100 miles per hour. Happy touring.
So a motorhome sometimes incurs an extra charge for an awning……when a caravan & car take up the same amount of space 🤔 Some of these campsites are going to out price themselves, we’re going to try doing more rallies…..Happy birthday both nearly OAP’s 😂Kim
Thank you for taking time to show us these wonderful sites around the UK. It’s very helpful to see the sites before we turn up. We are currently awaiting delivery of the adamo 75-4i and there seems to be very little in the way of real life reviews. Will you be planning on an informative round up for your thoughts on the 75-4i?
No real life reviews because they are only just about to start production - 754i followed by 764 then last but not least my never ending wait for the 754dl. Think i have that in the correct order. Mine of course is last but not least and hopefully built before they run out of components! I have no patience after waiting 13 months already 😡
Hi there, we are total newbies (in fact not even picked up our motorhome yet) but I notice you talk about 'camping & caravanning' sites, or CL's ? id this referring to the ownership of the sites? what the difference or significance?
There are two main clubs, the Caravan and Motorhome Club and the Camping and Caravanning Club. Both have larger club sites, and both have smaller 5 units sites, the Camping and Caravanning Club havev Certificated Sites (CS) and the Caravan and Motorhome Club has Certified Locations (CL).
I stayed there for 2 nights 2nd and 3rd of May on the pitch to the left of yours facing the toilet block. Only me and the dog and it was £17 a night. Big difference from what you paid.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo I'm In both caravan clubs but prefer the ccc sites. Originally had planned on Milarrochy Bay but Luss was handy as I was travelling on to Glencoe after there and only £2 a night difference. I stayed at 9 sites over 15 days and only went over the £20 once for 1 night at Aviemore so it wasn't bad.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo Yes. I've been there 3 times now, once when it was a club site and twice, this year and last year since it was taken over and for me it hasn't really changed. Most private sites don't give a discount for solo travellers but this one does. The ccc sites are ideal for me. They average out about £15 for single occupant. The c+m cost more but are still affordable. Apart from my yearly trip to Scotland I mostly visit Northumberland Lake District and North Yorkshire and the CCC seem to have better locations within walking distance of towns which I prefer.
Remember going to Loch Lomond about 10 yrs ago & seeing C130 aircraft, 2 of them flying at what looked like about 10 ft above the water. Nice location for the site although pricey. I know the dogs failed at agility training, but are you going to take them waterskiing?.
Most Motorhomes don't have awning rails unlike caravans, awnings are often attached to roll out canopies using a connector that is supplied for the purpose. We have a Outdoor Revolution Movelite T2 drive away awning, think that's been replaced by the T2R. You could get a Thule roll out canopy fitted and attach it to the awning channel on that. Alternatively a couple of supplied guy lines can be thrown over the motorhome and pegged at the other side. I have made a few videos about my drive away awning.
Another highly informative video. Keep them coming. One question - If charging the jackery from 12v whilst driving, how do you provide 12v to your satnav at the same time because normally there is only 1 12v (cigarette lighter) output?
I've not really used the 12v charger with the Jackery as it would take many hours of driving to charge the Jackery. I use a twin 12v socket adapter so I can use the sat nav and dashcam at the same time, so I suppose one of those would do. If you do charge the Jackery when driving, make sure it's properly secured, you don't want that flying about in an accident!
Yes I think we preferred the 69-4, if that's what you mean. Both have a compromise over the beds, but the drop down bed was probably easier to set up that the day position/night position island bed. The lounge is bigger in the 69-4 too.
Aye ….Scotland is catching on to the captive audience. The only thing missing there Bob was a claymore and buckler backed up with a tartan mask and a Highland growl demanding all your damned Sterling.
Thank you both, love watching the dogs taking Bob for a walk!!!! Lovely situation by the lake. Take care.
Nice Vlog guys. Doesn’t look like a £48 site to me 😳 we’ll stick to C/L’s I think 😉
I just love Poppy’s Tours and the way she knows that she has arrived on site. Beautiful site.
We were right next the very noisy A82, sad to say didn't get much sleep with very noisy lorries on the road all night. It didn't help that the heavens opened up. Nice walk down into the village.

Agree with you on having a automatic, my mum has a auto, every time I do a long journey I always use her car. Always feel refreshed on the other side!
50 years ago while in the u.s. navy I had one day of liberty in Paisley, rode the train up from Grennock. Off the u.s.s.saratoga.
Brought back some memories for you I guess.
Thanks for this, I’m due to camp here in the summer, got a really good look at the site through your video.
Glad it was helpful!

You need the 90 degree hook up cable instead of the straight one
Good point. I have left that at home and used my own hook up cable as the one supplied by Bailey wasn't on a reel.
Im back living in scotland ...loved you r video....
Hi Bob and Jenny the squeaking above Jenny have you tried wedging a cushion in the top storage wrack
I think it's the plastic trim creaking against the wood surround.
Certainly wouldn't pay that even with the loch view. Still good honest video

Goodness me I just could not pay that much and would be asking for a partial reduction due to the poor facilities ⛺️
Do you know what them wind protectors are called that can attach to the roof awning?
Look for Roll Out Canopy Mesh Panels or Fiama wind blocker panels. Never used one myself.
Poppy wanted to swim
No, she runs away from water.
Bit pricey and road noise would annoy me. Beautiful view of Loch though.
Enjoyed your vlog,that is a ridiculous price.cant see it getting too busy.liked going there when it was a ccc site but don't think I'd go there now.
It was full whilst we were there!
That does surprise me though it is a great location.
A nice site but way too expensive and to charge an extra £4 for an awning is a bit of a cheek! Shan't be going there then!!
Aye ….Scotland is catching on to the captive audience. The only thing missing there Bob was a claymore and buckler backed up with a tartan mask and a Highland growl demanding all your damned Sterling.
