I have ordered a Elddis Evolution CV80, it’s due to arrive in September 24, hoping it arrives earlier. It’s my first bought camper, I have only rented in the past. I’m nearing my retirement at 55 and I can’t wait to start to travel so I took the plunge at the camper show in Oct and purchased a van. I shall watch your channel for any new van tips. Happy travels.

      @@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot I'm interested in why you had a problem booking in advance. Despite all my years living here, we've not really had much experience with campsites. We went camping twice about 20 odd years ago. I don't remember us pre-booking though.
      We do rent places though and haven't had any problems as of yet. My late FIL was from the Dordogne, my wifes family own his "maison de campagne" down there. So we are very very lucky to use that place for holidays. Unfortunately the town where the house is located is over-run with tourists in the Summer, so gets very busy.

    Hi both of you, the new van is lovely, I have a 2020 select 144, don’t feel too bad about the catch, on the first day I brought ours home I ripped the front off a draw, wifee was not best pleased 😊 I put a micro wave where the gas grill is, as we found we weren’t using the grill, under my passenger seat the jack was in a massive plastic case, I removed the case and stored the jack under the rear seats, this made a bit more storage up front. We also found that we left the bed permanently set up, see what suits you both. Keep up the vids please , you, you tubers give us inspiration on where to go next. 😊😊Thanks Lee & Vikki.
