Thank you. Haven’t had scraps in ages. Them fish and chips looked grand,hungry now. Stay well and safe travels. All the very best to you all. Cheers 🥂. 👍🚐😎
You done well at that bridge steve. Lovely family vlogs. Can i suggest even second hand. Get a truckers sat nav. Itll save a car sat nav sending you into narrow streets, once you enter youre van dimensions . keep up the brill vlogs
Certainly a eventful weekend trip. Good to see all smiles throughout the video including the lovely grandma. So glad no break-in at home. Take care and stay safe
Spent most of my teenage years in Ilkley, went to school in Menston. Nice to see you on my old stomping ground. Still live nearby. Nice to hear Lindsey’s northern lilt come back.
Another lovely adventure. Beautiful area you visited. Sorry for the bump and alarm! Thanks for posting, looking forward to your next adventure. All the best
🇬🇧🦋great trip and meet up with rest of tribe Looks like you all had fun ... loved your journey around ilkley . Van All christened . Little dilemma,all sorted . Gas seems a real issue at the moment .. it’s something we all need to help one another about ... so not to get ripped off . Take care keep safe lulu and Paul x🦋🇬🇧
I forgot to mention that you can avoid grounding out your vehicle if you have air suspension fitted(albeit very expensive)…you can raise it higher whilst driving or when stationery to avoid situations like that. John & tash (life beyond brick’s) have the same suspension fitted. It’s also excellent for levelling the van as long as it’s not ridiculously sloped
Hope you don't regret the swop from that 3ltr !! I did the same 2013 Autotrail Comanche to a 2021 Warwick XL I did 9000k in 12 months and have sold it.Every 100 miles 1ltr of add blue I had the superb 9 speed auto box(no complaints there) but those new Fiat engines they can keep them.Once the amber warning light comes on depending on your driving style or load you get 350 miles then it goes red. Apparently you have about 20 miles left before it wont restart,not a nice feeling.I was told 10,000 miles before amber light came on. I got 1350 miles and sometimes a lot less. Good luck guys 👍keep the channel going PS Ive bought older again LOL🤣
Oohhh castleton x it’s a lovely park up x we were there this weekend but was so busy we moved on at first light x Glad the new van is out and about, shame about the little accident but easily fixed x Great family vlog guys Hope you are all well x Leanne & oliver x
Why Swift decided to fit the drain valve there I just can’t understand. It in a really badly designed position right in the middle of the wheelbase so when you go over the slightest hump it’s hits the ground. Our van is an 8 metre Bessacarr so like yours it’s got quite a long wheel base, consequently once the wheels at one end go over any undulation in the ground the belly of the van is very low down, and the water valve is the lowest point. I’ve knocked ours of twice, and both times it was going over a very small hump. Rob and Lyn on tour have knocked theirs off as well. To stop me knocking it off again I’ve moved the valve, it’s now temporarily fixed to the chassis as far back as I could get it (limited by the length of available wire) I got some 28mm pipe and some elbow fittings, so now the drain comes out of the tank goes to the off side as before but now turns 90deg runs down the inside of the chassis to the valve. From the valve it continues down the inside of the chassis towards the waste drain pipe then turns through 90deg and comes out next to the waste pipe. At the moment everything is held on by cable ties, I’ve yet to make a couple of proper brackets and get the pipe runs levelled out a bit better to drain the water fully. What I might do is extend the cable for the valve and position it next to the waste water valve behind the rear wheel so then there’s no way it can ground out.
Have you been to the Weatherspoons in Exeter called the Imperial? My favourite. I want t return to Exeter just to go back to that pub. If you haven't been check out the pictures on the internet - incredible.
oh wow . brill video. nice to see your meet ups and escapades lol .as for scraps . us down south call them batter bits .always had bag as a kid👌. ouch bottoming out is not good😢 . but yorkshire is a beautiful county. glad was all ok when you got home 👍.so keep your adventures coming . cheers 🍷
Oh no 😢 what a collection of ups and downs for you at least ur positivity shines through and u kept going and you had a nice time that’s what it’s all about. 👍
Wow what an eventful first trip. Glad you guys are OK and look forward to seeing more journeys blessings to you's Ps. So jealous of the new van it looks spectacular
If a new RV van , wheels spin out . There a bigger problem. 1 you may have to much weight in the van. 2 you have the wrong tires on for the van. Many RV sellers will out the cheapest tires on when you buy. Because they know you'll be back. 3. You have packed the van wrong. To much weight not balanced. 4. Your trying to carry to much water with you. If you drain the tanks to just what you might need. You'll save of fuel, and the van will be lighter. Fill the water back up when you hook up.
Just started following you going through your videos and love watching them love your new camper van really nice like the bed that comes down they have come along way cabinets are so much nicer anyway look forward to seeing more videos take care guys
My mouth was watering seeing you eating your fish and 🍟 chips. I'm a Celiac, so I can't eat fish and chips from a chip shop as the batter is made from wheat flour and the curry sauce. 😋 I live in the Midlands, but my family are from Yorkshire. My late Mother was from Keighley. We use to holiday in a lovely area called Ingleton. Those were the days. Love to you both ❤
I hit a old tyre on the road between Germany and Poland and did same to my van I always pack some string , my water bracket was dragging along the road with sparks so under the van I went with my string
The fish and chips looked amazing. We both know scraps its a northern thing lol. Getting LPG is a nightmare everywhere, We have not a diesel shortage here. Hope you manage to remove or sort the water empty pipe.
I can sympathise with you over fuel prices. I have just filled my Defender and it was over £150! One plus though…..no fuel shortages. Great to see the touring videos making an appearance. Guy.
Great video.. why don’t you get a Safefill refillable gas bottle. Especially if your doing a lot of off grid. Will be cheaper. Morrisons allow to refill . Cheers
That’s the idea Andrew, we’re just using a spare Calor bottle I had lying around for now, we’ll probably be getting an under slung refillable tank, there’s just so many upgrades to do!
Hi guys Just come back from castleton now Put RUclips on and Carnt believe yous we’re there 😂😂 I Carnt recommend more the ye olde nags head for food everyone!!!! I was wondering for a bit of advice guys. I have a trauma comfort and doing of grid nearly completely. I was wondering if you know what jackery I should get to power that most probably a night and then I would recharge. Also to be able to run microwave now and again. Your advice would be helpful pleaseeeeee Anthony and Claire
Hi Guys. Top video as usual thank you. SCRAPS! You triggered a memory there. When I was a lad back in early seventies I used to keep my dinner money for 'other things' than a healthy dinner, and get '2p' bag of scraps from the local chippie in Lowestoft! Yummy. The question is, am I a Northerner or a Southerner? My Mum came from Keithley in Yorkshire, my Dad from London, and I grew up in Lowestoft, Suffolk. Take care, and enjoy.
That was certainly an eventful trip! Glad you hadn’t been burgled - although it was a shame you couldn’t deactivate the alarm remotely. I have had to google ilkley moor bar ‘tat for my husband as he’s never heard of it before (where’s he been!?!) 🤪
Hi guys ,how did the water pipe get ripped of ? You know wear I live (the fens ) you can buy a bag of scraps or you can get them free with fish&chips ,looks like you are all having a great time ,I love the unicycle what fun that is but I wold not be able to stand on it with one leg lol 😂 I would brake my neck lol ,I bet it was nice seeing your Grammar how nice for her as well ,gas is so hard to get anywhere what a joke,enjoyed this blog so much ,hope you have not been Robbed well till next time take care keep yourself safe 💕😂☀️👀🥂🥂🙏🚛🚛
Hello I am new to your channel like your new motor home I love ilkley the tarn is nice to walk round and you were not far from there when you were at the maze Betty's cafe is nice as well for cakes but expensive but really nice liked your channel
Fantastic video 📹 you have just got a new subscriber to you channel..quick question please on your broken dump valve does it have a make or model number as I would like to add one to our van to make it easier instead off getting on our knees to open a hand valve...thanks justin & carol
Hi guys, and welcome along. I’ve just had a look for you and there’s no part number on there I’m afraid. Also as it’s electronically controlled it would need wiring run and a way to trigger it, although ours just works through the control panel.
You’ve exhausted me…currently sitting on the drive in my MH which is nearly bouncing all over the place owing to continuing high winds here in Somerset!!
I live in America and I've never heard of a manual rv in this country. We must have them but I don't thinks it's very popular in America. Love the channel!
Hi Steve & Lindsey, once again a great video. Me & the mrs really enjoy following you guy’s on your adventure’s. What is really good to see is when you get together with other RUclipsrs (who we also follow)……great to see you all get on. It was great to see you at the Peterborough show last week(managed to say a quick hello after your talk with John on the Sunday morning-cat in the stroller couple haha ). Can I ask if your business has ever fully wrapped a motorhome? Cheers, Joe
can I suggest looking into an lpg underslung gas tank conversion as an option to save on calor woes, easy refill at any fuel station that has a pump for gas cars. Also cheaper in long run even with the initial outlay.
@@RoamingRadfords i only suggested because there's nothing worse than searching for calor 1 day into a trip because you forgot to check (not that I'd ever do that a day into a 10 day trip abroad, honest)
Hi your house alarm the external sounder should not ring for more than twenty minutes the internal sounders can continue to ring. This is actually law and it also applies to cars and van alarms
Did you find gas in the end? Next time try getting gas from a local handyman instead of petrol stations. Our local handyman had no gas but said he's waiting for a delivery the next day, we left our empty bottle with him as a deposit and collected the new one the next day.
We have just had the exact same think happen on our new Kontiki 794. This is clearly a design fault as the bracket is far too long. Water it now gushing out and we can’t fill it up. Did you find a fix for yours?
@@RoamingRadfords Lowdhams have fixed the water leaking and secured the bracket, however I still think the bracket is too long and the problem will soon return the next time we go over a small hump back bridge; please let me know if you work out a long term solution with Swift. Other than this small issue the MH is lovely and we agree with you, the cab is wonderful.
Hi Phillip, I believe they are planning to amend where this is fitted on some models going forward. We still just have ours bunged up but are hoping to get it sorted soon even if we have to do it ourselves
@@RoamingRadfords Thanks Steve. We panic at every humped back bridge sign, I’d happily pay for a fix. I know you have strongly backed Swift but I’m afraid to say, it’s shocking that they haven’t sorted this.
Good to see you out and about using the new van. Steve if it’s any consolation in all my years of owning a motorhome the only place I’ve struggled with the roads was Yorkshire about two months ago heading to the Will o nats pub some narrow lanes and steep inclines round that way. I fitted rear air to give an extra bit off lift been invaluable the extra lift comes in handy especially for getting on and off ferries. And I’m with young George you canny beat building dens.👍

The pot noodles when u have put the water in put the lid back over stays hot and makes it cook quicker👍
It’s not just a northern thing, we have scraps here in Norfolk and Suffolk as well!
You get scraps just about anywhere I live in the fens you can buy a bag of scraps or if you have fish&chips you can ask for lots of scrips free
Just not Milton Keynes then 🤣🤣

Well… edited highlights? No, really, we firmly believe that there isn’t anything that can’t be fixed!

Yikes!!! Thank you x
Oooh I had forgotten about the Ilkley Plaice. There also used to be a good chippy on the road out of Otley
Got to love scraps, adding Peak District to our list to visit.

Thank you so much for commenting!
My mouth was watering seeing you eating your fish and 🍟 chips. I'm a Celiac, so I can't eat fish and chips from a chip shop as the batter is made from wheat flour and the curry sauce. 😋 I live in the Midlands, but my family are from Yorkshire. My late Mother was from Keighley. We use to holiday in a lovely area called Ingleton. Those were the days. Love to you both ❤

I hit a old tyre on the road between Germany and Poland and did same to my van I always pack some string , my water bracket was dragging along the road with sparks so under the van I went with my string
Yikes, but great idea!
Nice to see you guys getting out in the van, bet the neighbors loved the ring alarm going off for hours.🤣
Thank you!
The fish and chips looked amazing. We both know scraps its a northern thing lol. Getting LPG is a nightmare everywhere, We have not a diesel shortage here. Hope you manage to remove or sort the water empty pipe.
Thank you x
Good 1st ‘adventure’ in the new van 😳
Can’t beat scraps on fish and chips 👍💙❤️
Thanks!
Hope you get lpg fitted soon. ALGAS in Thirsk do the lighter gas bottles. Must be mindful of the weight with a those batteries you are fitting.
Thanks for the tip Will x
Lister as in Listers Mill in Bradford I imagine and probably yes the same Lister from Gentleman Jack.
I think so too!
Great vlog as usual glad yo wasn't burgled nothing worse than driving home to a alarm good luck with the van and gas
Thanks Phil x
I noticed they seemed to have the English stockpile of calor gas bottles at the Showground this weekend so I hope you got sorted in the end.
We did get sorted there!! It was brilliant!
I can sympathise with you over fuel prices. I have just filled my Defender and it was over £150! One plus though…..no fuel shortages. Great to see the touring videos making an appearance.

Put RUclips on and Carnt believe yous we’re there 😂😂

We still have the 1 gas bottle and I’m hoping to get refillable fitted soon Gillian
Hi your house alarm the external sounder should not ring for more than twenty minutes the internal sounders can continue to ring. This is actually law and it also applies to cars and van alarms
It wasn’t an alarm in the end, it was a fault on the ring camera! All fixed now though x
There is a carpark outside Skipton which might be easier...
Will look out for it in the future!
Fish, chips, peas and scrolls in Cornwall. Lol. Looked Yummy though.
Scrolls!!! Woah x
Oh 🤬, the first scratch to the new motorhome hurts! The long wheel base and the rear overhang are concerns in tight places.
We just have to go carefully xx
We've had scraps in the black country scents I was a kid 😁
Mmmm Gary x
Did you find gas in the end? Next time try getting gas from a local handyman instead of petrol stations. Our local handyman had no gas but said he's waiting for a delivery the next day, we left our empty bottle with him as a deposit and collected the new one the next day.
The problem was that it was 4.30 on Sunday and only petrol stations were only!
Does the alarm not have a time reset , I thought they all had them now.
It wasn’t an alarm in the end, the camera had a faulty “buzz”.
wow
What a loverly polite son you have our sone was the same at that age but now he’s in his 20s he’s little shit now 😂

Other than this small issue the MH is lovely and we agree with you, the cab is wonderful.
@@RoamingRadfords Hi Steve, did you ever get a fix fir this from Swift? Despite my best attempts I have heard nothing.
Hi Phillip, I believe they are planning to amend where this is fitted on some models going forward. We still just have ours bunged up but are hoping to get it sorted soon even if we have to do it ourselves
@@RoamingRadfords Thanks Steve. We panic at every humped back bridge sign, I’d happily pay for a fix. I know you have strongly backed Swift but I’m afraid to say, it’s shocking that they haven’t sorted this.
How are you finding the comfort levels compared to the 649?
Love it, especially during the day!
Good to see you out and about using the new van. Steve if it’s any consolation in all my years of owning a motorhome the only place I’ve struggled with the roads was Yorkshire about two months ago heading to the Will o nats pub some narrow lanes and steep inclines round that way. I fitted rear air to give an extra bit off lift been invaluable the extra lift comes in handy especially for getting on and off ferries. And I’m with young George you canny beat building dens.👍
Thank you Wully xx
It's about time that Calor Gas got their act together. It is getting ridiculous now.
Them fish and chips will get rid of the new van smell
That’s OK! So will 3 sweaty boys 🤣🤣🤣
Love the video but a 2 litre engine??????in that size of van.
It’s a 2.2 180bhp engine Jon and I’ve done over 1000 miles in it now and I’m adjusting my driving style to suit and it’s working well
