New van looks lovely. I'm 70 next year & a narrowboat owner but really enjoy your channel. Age just a number, i run regularly, 20/30 mile bike rides, long walks. Lets just keep going & enjoying life.
i would just like to say and i am a person who very rarely comments that you both are a very easy to listen to and watch with a great combination of info I.E. directions, site info, arrival,local interests, just a very good all round package . I truly hope your new van works out just as you hope and delivers a good base to enjoy your travells from . I hope you keep delivering great travell vlogs and finally without any controversy I love you ❤ both.
We are so delighted for you both . A very exciting time . Like us you also enjoy the space of a larger van . Time waits for none of us , so pleased you have purchased such a beautiful van. Enjoy .
Hi Bob & Jenny, I'm so pleased for you both. Age doesn't matter. My dad is 94 & he still drives & tows a caravan. Obviously he has to have a check every 3 years at his age. I know like my father, you have probably worked hard all your lives to get where you are now. I am so pleased for your new adventures. Take care xx ❤
The kontiki looks beautiful... So very nice...much better than a nursing home Bob.. you will love it just as much as all of us enjoy seeing you enjoying it...take care
Love your videos. We live in Australia, and had a similar set of criteria to you in choosing a new van. Key difference is we dont tow, and dont understand why the heating is so important. If we lived in UK we would probably make the same choice as you. Congratulations. I'm suprised you can get it so quickly, what happened to waiting lists?
Congratulations Bob & Jenny, I recently commented on our poor experience with our new Kon-Tiki but your right, unfortunately I think we’ve just been unlucky 🥲 Anyhow it’s a beautiful van & on a more positive note the 9 speed automatic is a game changer, you’ll love it 👍 best wishes as always and looking forward to seeing it in the next few months.
Excellent news. We are very pleased for you both. A much better choice than the Adamo you were in at Blair Atholl! Being 75 years young I can assure you that age is only a number and not something to be at all concerned about. My wife thinks that Conny the Kon-Tiki would be a an excellent choice. Best wishes to the three of you. Dave & Joan
Congrats guys hope you have many happy memories in your new MH. Also I agree with you about the dealer choosing a good dealer with service centre etc will affect your experience.
I now you made the right decision this van was my favourite right from the start,until six months ago I have always had swifts and never had a problem ,I now own a bailey the layout of which suit's us,good luck ❤❤❤
Congratulations Bob and Jenny and Poppy too x a very exciting time for you all look forward to sharing your adventures in your new motorhome with you xxx
So excited for you and made a stones throw away from our house. We have the same layout in our Burstner, I love the garage and have spend many happy hours tinkering to find the optimal layout for all "my" stuff and including our two bikes. We also love the split washroom/shower layout and having that three room concept its great for getting changed or if someone wants a nap! Our only gripe is climbing up into the beds, or rather getting down in the middle of the night. I don't know if its the same with all "German layout" vans but with the beds that high up it rocks quite a bit if you turn over in your sleep. Adding rear steadies has really helped that and almost stopped it, I don't know if they come standard in the Swift but thats definitely something to consider adding if they don't.
You can sense the excitement of a new van. I love the spreadsheet and made me think that we were less considerate on ordering our new replacement which is the Adria Coral Supreme 670DL, due anytime soon. I was rather hoping you’d gone the same way if nothing but to underscore our decision. But happy to see it was on your short list. Take care both.
Wow congratulations Bob, Jenny & Poppy🎉 You have made an excellent choice it’s an awesome looking van. We are sure you will enjoy many happy holidays. Best wishes to you both❤xx
Congratulations on 'your' choice, i was pretty certain you would get it from Todds and fairly confident with a Swift. Exciting times for you two and looking forward to future trips 👍
Hi Bob & Jenny we have been following you for many years on your travels and we cannot think of anybody more deserving. Many congratulations on your new motor home. Just to let you know we don't have a motor home we have always had a caravan. Harry & Jenny
Wow, congratulations on the choice, bet you can’t wait to be setting off in it. Automatic, and 180 engine, it’ll be so relaxing and enjoyable to drive, and well on top of its work. Looking forward to following you on your adventures.
Just found this vlog and wanted to say huge congratulations on getting such a fabulous van. Wishing you many more years of happy travelling. All the best. Carol ❤🎉
Very pleased for you both my wife and I have watched you both since you started,lovely choice ,we have a rear garage and bed layout like yours great layout it grows on you😊👏👏👏
Congratulations! You have clearly done a lot of research and careful consideration and the choice you have made is therefore definitely the right choice for your good selves. I'm sure that you are now quite excited and the worst and best part is waiting to pick it up from the dealers. Worst because it will feel like a long wait and best because it is the most exciting time.
Woohoo!!! Wonderful choice, great info on why you chose this motorhome especially for people like me that are dreaming of one!! Looking forward to watching all future videos of your travels ❤
Good night Bob and jenny good news about your new motor home I hope you have loads of fun it brings back good memories of my parents and me going places i drove my ford fiesta with my camping equipment to Norfolk and got lost i wiah i had a mobile phone with sat nav in it i got lost on the road because it had road works and got left behind
Well done Bob and Jenny you are only here once do it now and enjoy life and spoil yourself,we look forward to seeing next video love your banter when you are telling us your plans 😄😄👍
Nice! Enjoy your new van.😊 We're picking up our new van on 1st March. Rollerteam Auto Roller 746, the new style with the wider door on a Ford. Traded in our 1 year old Autotrail F68, so going from a 2 birth to a 6 birth 😅. Although 4 of the births are never intended to be used! We like a rear lounge and with a dual lounge we can leave the rear lounge in bed mode if we fancy it or not! Best of both worlds!
Hello Bob and Jenny, great news and we wish you both many many happy travels in the new motorhome when it arrives. We are also waiting on ours which like you may be here early March but who knows. Thanks for sharing 👍💖
Hi Bob & Jenny, So very happy for you both, the pictures of the new one looks really nice and if it was mine I think I might be inclined to call it Beauty because it is a thing of beauty. But it's yours and you name her what you think is best. May you both have many years of enjoyment with her. I watch you regularly but never comment. Keep up the good work..
Well done and congratulations to you both. Always had Swifts (albeit in Caravans) so excited with your choice. The Adria did look nice, but a real big difference in price and specifications. Happy days
Omg ! Am so glad for you both and my video of our 784 helped . We just visited our old hometown and ours of Southport . Stayed at the caravan club site and had a lovely weekend . Mine is booked in at Bluefix end of the month and having lithium and solar upgrade with a 3kw inverter . Will post details when it’s done so it may help others . You will love the 784 . So easy to drive . The Alde heating is amazing . That garage is like a drying room . Makes the bedroom so warm . That’s for all your videos . They are helping us immensely on our journey .
Congratulations guys beautiful choice I got to say what Bob doesn’t know about vans probably hasn’t been invented. But hats off to Jenny she knows her stuff amazing As a woman myself who is around Jenny age it’s very helpful for me Thanx guys enjoy ur new van I will b waiting to c u travels in it xx
Your choice looks lovely. I just popped over to Eddie’s to have a look at his. I hope you have better luck getting all the little bits and pieces by Swift that were missing on Eddie’s. Happy travels. Jo in France 🇫🇷
We took delivery of our Voyager 584 in December. First MoHo and now in Spain. Im 73 soon to be 74. Wish I had kept my C1 but at the time Thought why would I need to? Silly me. Renew C1 and forget about age its only a number. Wish I could have afforded a Kontiki. Enjoy. I did guess though.😃🤣
Really glad for the three of you and looking forward to following more of your adventures. Orkney again and on up to Shetland perhaps or the full length Outer Hebrides chain??? Decisions decisions😁
Knew it! Knew it! Knew it! Absolutely beautiful van. Can’t wait to see your videos in it. Best choice to suit you by far, and if you’re on a site when I’m there I would like a look around it ❤
Congratulations to you both on your new motorhome, we guessed right. Hope to see you at the nec. We will be there Friday 16th. We want to look at the Etrusco T 5900 FB fiat compact. I hope you can do a review on one. All the best, Julie and Dave.
Really nice looking and spacious van you have chosen , beds look sumptuous! Talk about losing glasses , I actually lost mine yesterday on a lovely clifftop walk , we had to retrace our steps to search for them which is quite tricky when you haven’t even got them on to see but eventually we found them so Bob you are not alone in this ! Anyway lots of luck and more adventures in your new Kontiki . Tracy 😊
Thank you, glad you found your glasses. I dropped my house keys in the nearby woods last month and had to retrace my steps. Such a relief to find them!
😊 Superb news! Very pleased to see that you have found the one that suits and a very stylish one it is too! We did wonder what you would do with the tow car - it’s what stopped us getting the Bailey Adamo 75-4i which we liked but could not tow with. Congratulations and look forward to seeing it! A&J
@@BobEarnshawMoHo Had another look at one this week and the salesman got me all confused as he told me with some extension pieces and a specialist UK Towbars you can do 2000kg but some have suggested this is manual and not the auto. It is a minefield getting good advice from some dealers. We considering Swift and Auto Trail again for the next one - the Ford Cabs appeal
@thetrackertravels Bailey told me the maximum weight Adamos can tow is 750kg, but they were on autoboxes. Unless Bailey now have Fords with an increased Gross Train Weight. I know that Swift's Fords on manual gearbox have a GTW of 4250kg.You take the Maximum Authorised Mass away from the GTW and you get the weight you can tow if the motorhome is fully loaded.
Good choice in the end Bob & Jenny, but as you say the dealer is just as important as Van you choose. I once asked an engineer at the dealership “what van would he say came back with the most problems, he said most vans have issues no matter what the cost” … We’ve also had dealings with poor dealerships, but once that happens it doesn’t matter what van you have it will stick in your head… Good luck and happy travels 👍
Hi Bob and Jenny many congratulations to you both I did have a feeling it would be the Kon Tiki when you said about towing the car and Alde heating! I have swapped from manual to automatic due to an issue with my ankle and it’s so easy on a run and the fiat 9 speed is supposed to be very good you will also have the newer dash with electronic handbrake on that one I think. It looks a fabulous van and the Kon Tiki have always had a great reputation Looking forward to seeing the van when it arrives and many happy miles of motorhoming to you both Daniel Victoria Joseph and Ollie
Congrats on the new van Bob & jenny, I knew you would stay with the swift for the Alde alone, pleased you went with the kon tiki and not the voyager, no comparison in regards to spec, enjoy
Hi Bob and Jenny, Congratulations 🥂🎉, we thought it would be the 784 wishing you happy travels and lots of memories in your new van. Will look forward to the video when you receive it, Woohoo x Julie and Tony x

New van looks lovely. I'm 70 next year & a narrowboat owner but really enjoy your channel. Age just a number, i run regularly, 20/30 mile bike rides, long walks. Lets just keep going & enjoying life.
Absolutely
In 50 years of driving, I never had an automatic until I got my Mercedes motorhome which is quite large the merc automatic is just a pleasure to drive
After I drove the Ford automatic, I thought the next one had to be auto. It's so much easier.
So glad you've decided on the new van and it is just what you've been looking for!!!! Hope you don't have too long a wait for it...🤞
Glad you found your new van! When you know, you know! Enjoy and safe travels!
Yes! Thank you!
i would just like to say and i am a person who very rarely comments that you both are a very easy to listen to and watch with a great combination of info I.E. directions, site info, arrival,local interests, just a very good all round package .

I hope you keep delivering great travell vlogs and finally without any controversy I love you ❤ both.
Thanks for your comment. 👍
We are so delighted for you both . A very exciting time . Like us you also enjoy the space of a larger van . Time waits for none of us , so pleased you have purchased such a beautiful van. Enjoy .
Congratulations Bob and Jenny. Good health and happiness in the new van.
Hi Bob & Jenny, I'm so pleased for you both. Age doesn't matter. My dad is 94 & he still drives & tows a caravan. Obviously he has to have a check every 3 years at his age. I know like my father, you have probably worked hard all your lives to get where you are now. I am so pleased for your new adventures. Take care xx ❤
Thank you, great to hear about your dad.
Delighted. You're only a young fella...may you both have many years of lovely travelling in the new motorhome.
so pleased for you, there is no point worrying about anyone else's opinion, just enjoy it as I am sure you will
We won't and we will. Most people seem happy for us, apart from the couple justifing their choices!
The kontiki looks beautiful... So very nice...much better than a nursing home Bob.. you will love it just as much as all of us enjoy seeing you enjoying it...take care
The nursing homes beckons 🤣🤣🤣

Hopefully we'll not be unlucky but if we are no doubt we'll share it with thousands of avid viewers! 😊
Great to be getting your dream van, the best of luck with it and safe driving.
Congratulations great news we love the swifts may you have many more lovely travels in your new van

Congrats guys hope you have many happy memories in your new MH. Also I agree with you about the dealer choosing a good dealer with service centre etc will affect your experience.
Well said!
Congratulations, we are in the throws of looking for a replacement MH, but downsizing to a VLine type van.
Good luck with your search.
I now you made the right decision this van was my favourite right from the start,until six months ago I have always had swifts and never had a problem ,I now own a bailey the layout of which suit's us,good luck ❤❤❤

Congratulations on your new Motorhome hope you have many more exciting adventures
So excited for you and made a stones throw away from our house. We have the same layout in our Burstner, I love the garage and have spend many happy hours tinkering to find the optimal layout for all "my" stuff and including our two bikes. We also love the split washroom/shower layout and having that three room concept its great for getting changed or if someone wants a nap!

Adding rear steadies has really helped that and almost stopped it, I don't know if they come standard in the Swift but thats definitely something to consider adding if they don't.
One thing we liked about the rear beds was that they didn't feel too high, compared with some.
Exciting times. Look forward to your future videos in your new Motorhome. Happy days 🤗
Can't wait!
Brilliant! Hope you enjoy. Happy and safe travels.
Thank you! Will do!
How exciting! Fingers crossed for a quick turn around for delivery!
Yep, hopefully.
Congratulations 🎉- what a smashing choice, you deserve it. So exciting.

Excellent news. Can’t wait to see your new adventures. What will you be calling your new van?Safe travels.
Thanks, we're probably thinking Konnie, but that might change when we finally meet her.
Konnie the Kon-tiki. Brilliant. And named after Bob and Aileen’s doggie.
@adelebeattie8021 yes, we did ask Bob and Aileen.
Enjoy your -NEW- travels! ☺

Well done and congratulations to you both. Always had Swifts (albeit in Caravans) so excited with your choice. The Adria did look nice, but a real big difference in price and specifications. Happy days
Omg ! Am so glad for you both and my video of our 784 helped . We just visited our old hometown and ours of Southport . Stayed at the caravan club site and had a lovely weekend . Mine is booked in at Bluefix end of the month and having lithium and solar upgrade with a 3kw inverter . Will post details when it’s done so it may help others . You will love the 784 . So easy to drive . The Alde heating is amazing . That garage is like a drying room . Makes the bedroom so warm . That’s for all your videos . They are helping us immensely on our journey .
Thanks, it was watching your video that made our mind up. Thank you so much. Look forward to seeing how you get on with those upgrades.
Congratulations Bob and Jenny. Wishing you many happy miles of touring. 🥂

Your choice looks lovely. I just popped over to Eddie’s to have a look at his. I hope you have better luck getting all the little bits and pieces by Swift that were missing on Eddie’s. Happy travels. Jo in France 🇫🇷
I hope so too!
Congratulations! - Wishing you safe travels and much happiness… P&K
Congratulations looks a great choice, looking forward to seeing your ongoing progress cheers 🍻

Great news it's a beautiful van look forward to seeing your future travels in it
Really glad for the three of you and looking forward to following more of your adventures. Orkney again and on up to Shetland perhaps or the full length Outer Hebrides chain??? Decisions decisions😁
Well done a perfect choice for you both ,look fwd to your upcoming Vlogs , great stuff
Thanks so much! 😊
I think as you have bought the kon tiki konnie would be a good name for it
Knew it! Knew it! Knew it! Absolutely beautiful van. Can’t wait to see your videos in it. Best choice to suit you by far, and if you’re on a site when I’m there I would like a look around it ❤
Congratulations. Look forward to joining you on travels in your new van 👍👍👍👍
Congratulations to you both on your new motorhome, we guessed right.
Hope to see you at the nec. We will be there Friday 16th. We want to look at the Etrusco T 5900 FB fiat compact. I hope you can do a review on one.
All the best, Julie and Dave.
Excellent choice, lovely van, looking forward to your adventures in it 🙂
Really nice looking and spacious van you have chosen , beds look sumptuous! Talk about losing glasses , I actually lost mine yesterday on a lovely clifftop walk , we had to retrace our steps to search for them which is quite tricky when you haven’t even got them on to see but eventually we found them so Bob you are not alone in this ! Anyway lots of luck and more adventures in your new Kontiki . Tracy 😊
Thank you, glad you found your glasses. I dropped my house keys in the nearby woods last month and had to retrace my steps. Such a relief to find them!
That sounds marvellous enjoy your new motorhome
Looking forward to your next adventure 👍🚐😁
😊 Superb news! Very pleased to see that you have found the one that suits and a very stylish one it is too! We did wonder what you would do with the tow car - it’s what stopped us getting the Bailey Adamo 75-4i which we liked but could not tow with. Congratulations and look forward to seeing it! A&J
Yes it was a shame that the Adamo doesn't have the capacity, we did like it.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo Had another look at one this week and the salesman got me all confused as he told me with some extension pieces and a specialist UK Towbars you can do 2000kg but some have suggested this is manual and not the auto. It is a minefield getting good advice from some dealers. We considering Swift and Auto Trail again for the next one - the Ford Cabs appeal

Looks lovely ... the furniture is the same as my 2023 Bessacarr caravan ... shower and bathroom too. Congratulations.
Thank you, yes the interiors are similar.
Thanks for sharing your selection process. Looks like a great choice for you both 👍
Our pleasure!
good on you enjoy .
Yes, thank you
Congrats on your choice hope you enjoy many more miles
Congratulations. Looks a lovely motorhome. Wishing you lots of happy holidays in it. 🛣️
Thank you!
Good choice in the end Bob & Jenny, but as you say the dealer is just as important as Van you choose.

Yes, and have had problems with dealers and it turns a problem into a nightmare.
Hi Bob and Jenny many congratulations to you both I did have a feeling it would be the Kon Tiki when you said about towing the car and Alde heating! I have swapped from manual to automatic due to an issue with my ankle and it’s so easy on a run and the fiat 9 speed is supposed to be very good you will also have the newer dash with electronic handbrake on that one I think.
It looks a fabulous van and the Kon Tiki have always had a great reputation
Looking forward to seeing the van when it arrives and many happy miles of motorhoming to you both Daniel Victoria Joseph and Ollie
Thank you for your support, as always.
Congrats on the new van Bob & jenny, I knew you would stay with the swift for the Alde alone, pleased you went with the kon tiki and not the voyager, no comparison in regards to spec, enjoy
Thanks 👍
Can’t wait to see your new van.Put deposit down today on the same model.Hopefully due end of August.
Yes, I wonder if we have to wait until August too!
Hi Bob and Jenny, Congratulations 🥂🎉, we thought it would be the 784 wishing you happy travels and lots of memories in your new van. Will look forward to the video when you receive it, Woohoo x Julie and Tony x
Yep, wooho indeed!
