Thanks!
Great to see the Malibu which is not too dissimilar to our Carthago 148h... inside ours is a lack of sockets too 🤦🏽♀️ With the passenger seat at back does the cushion not remove? Ours does and then your feet can be on the floor ( bit of a faff so we don’t do, just make son sit next to that seat instead! ) Thanks for the tour and your lovely walk. Most enjoyable both 👍🏼🚐🤩Many thanks Michelle and Andy
Thanks for the info, no there is a fixed cupboard box there,so nowhere for your feet.
Watching the dogs play was the best part of the vlog
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. I like that you point out some of the downsides as well as the good points. Like the blind letting light in. Not sure how they’d sort that out, it’s a bit weird. Graham
I'm amazed you don't have more subscribers. Loving the travelling videos at the minute.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to film, edit and upload your findings and adventures.
Thanks for your appreciation.
Nice coffee, cake and lunch available at the surf shack just along the front. We were there in August. Guess it may be closed for the winter?
It was open, they were handing out blankets!
@@BobEarnshawMoHo They was in August !!
I think the van is lovely but its not for us, I know I would never get used to that little headroom in bed and I think I am a bit too wide to enjoy that bathroom lol! It would be great to park but I don't think it has the comfort we are looking for. There are lots of lovely beaches near you, Gullane is lovely, Yellow Craigs and North Berwick if you want a little seaside town with icecream! :) My auntie cooked us kids a pan of sausages on that beach when we were wee, happy memories to see it all again x
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Glad it brought some nice memories.
Just goes to prove that you have to live with something to see it's flaws. Don't think it would do for us. Thanks for the vlog. 😁👍
True, but it certainly helps appreciate something.
Lovely van on some I have seen in the lounge area the side cushion comes off (held on with Velcro or press studs) and the small seat lifts up so two people can sit comfortably
The side seat is fixed on this motorhome.
Great video Bob and Jenny as always, it does look a lovely van but like you say it will take a little getting used to things. Poppy and her friends enjoyed the run along the beach. Hope you enjoyed your fish and chips, looking forward to the next video x
As always a very interesting and enjoyable watch.You are a lovely couple,and Poppy of course.Lovely spot,your staying at.
Hello Bob, are you going to do a full review of the van this time including on how you found the toilet and shower as well as how you prepare food and cook in the van? From many of your other videos it looks like you just use campsite showers and toilets, and either eat out or get a takeaway. It’d be a shame not to explore all the features and capabilities of such a nice van.
We will be using and reviewing all the facilities of this motorhome, including the shower and drop down bed!
Hi bob Jenny & poppy just watched your video honest & good as per !! But must admit they always say a dogs instincts are the best & pops doesn’t look as layed back & relaxed as usual !!. Try & enjoy your time & the best is still too come .👍🏼 take care god bless . X
She has settled more today. Think she's miffed that she can't just jump onto the beds!
@@BobEarnshawMoHo I figured that would be the case, that she wouldn't stay at the front end as you went to bed. Does she sleep in her bed or one one of yours?
Looks comfortable but that garage would be wasted on us unless we had bicycles in there. Loved the quick look at the Firth of Forth too. Have a great day at the castle. 🙂 Trev n Sue
Thanks, we've done the Kelpies too.
Bob we loved the Kelpies and want to see them in the dark when they are lit up 💡 safe travels 😁
Great video, love your choice of music. It’s a lovely motor home poppy looks so at home on her seat. 👍👍👍
Thanks
I've never understood the point of that bit of sofa. Even a child would have trouble sitting on it. It's unusable for sitting on, and takes up space for the legs of the person sitting in that travel seat, yet so many of the continental vans have it. I'm also not keen on the drop door on the TV cupboard, it looks like it would be easy to bang your head against it when sitting in the travel seats. A tambour door would be a better option I think.
I adore watching Poppy frolicking with her friends, she looks so happy!
Yes I agree about the side seat.
Does the side back cushion and side seat not come out, we have similar configuration in my van, there is a base below that slides under the seat so as the passenger can get full leg room sitting straight on. I’d be surprised if that wasn’t the case. We now keep that cushions in the garage unless we are having extra guests for a sit round the table.
@@OurWedding2012 Still doesn't explain why it's there in the first place! It's not deep enough to sit on comfortably.
Thankyou
Imagine that beach in the summer. Xx .
Hi bob and Jenny nice van but would prefer your new van not keen on the wash room a bit on the small side the van remind me of
a mini small coach nice though cheers kev
Brilliant video , I love the fish bowl kinda view up front in the A class’s , but have always felt the huge dash seems a waste of space ? Love the garage & double floor storage , thanks for the walk around 👍
Mike
Tend to agree..
Nice van buddy ... wish big Bertha,s garage was that big .. cheers Chris & Sam
Thanks.
Sockets under shelves are quite clever and safe.
Wish there were more sockets under the shelves though.
To me could do with one of those pop up Elec Socket Towers in the Kitchen
Theres enough Height in the Garage to Lower the Bed down 1 Full Step , stop banging the old Bonse
Unusual place for a Toilet Roll Holder , youd have to be a Contortionist to get some Paper if your one of those who keeps sitting 1st to get Paper .Could do with a Recess in the Basin Vanity Unit
Youd think all these Companies who Design the Interiors would have Experienced Campers like yourselves at the Table to advise what works n what doesnt n best place to Utalise the Nesacities
Sockets, USBs, Switches,Seating
Nice Vid
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we will be commenting on all that we see, hopefully manufacturers do watch and listen.
Funny you mention the condensation. We stayed in the Cotswolds last night and woke up to quite a bit of condensation on the inside of the windscreen. Most other vans on site had the silver screens so I was looking on your channel for any reviews/recommendations for types of screen but couldn’t seem to find one. Bob, you’re my main go to for reviews !! Any tips on silver screen buying.
Hi, check this link for Taylor made screens
taylormade-covers.co.uk/
Thanks for the link. Highly recommended, Taylormade.
Thanks, for watching. Taylormade screens are what we use, link is below on Lee&Lorrie's post
Thanks v much. Will do. How are you finding the Truma heating ? I hear that A - classes are very well insulated for winter use.
Seems very good. Cold night tonight, so update on the review at the end of this tour.
Hi Bob, Jenny, Interesting and informative vlog as usual. Just out of interest, is the Malibu about in the same ball park as your new motorhome or do they come in a bit more expensive? Reason I ask is pound for pound your new Swift appears to be better built/better spec based on first look of both. Only advantage of the Malibu perhaps better visibility at the front.
The Malibu is priced from £73k, the Kon-Tiki Sport 574 around £68k.
The step storage looks very good. Some other flaws though
Yes, some really good lockers about.
Enjoyed the video.could you sleep the other way round to avoid head's under cupboard?
No, there is a cupboard there too.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo oh not so good then...
Oh you scared me I thought you bought that one....Glad it was not LOL
Looks like you could lose some hight off that garage to make the beds that bit lower.
I agree with you.
Hi, just wondering if that cupboard door can be closed when the tv is out ?
No, you can't close when it the TV is out.
Is that the fan heater 10: 50 on wards, seems rather loud imo
It's a truma blown air heater, don't think it's any louder than any others, but it is working quite hard to keep us at the temperature we are accustomed to!
I bet you’re so glad you’ve gone for your Kon-tiki Sport and not an A Class. What would drive me mad is how the pattern on the floor cupboards don’t match. My OCD but I couldn’t live with that. Also not keen on the lounge areas in the A Classes, seem v small. To me they just seem to be all about the big garage, which then compromises the beds. It’ll make you appreciate your new MH more.
Steve Chandler not just me lol
What coffee machine do you have
We took our own Bosch Tassico Vivy.
Bob Earnshaw many thanks,we are thinking of buying one,and yours looks ok.
Sleep the other way round.
No there is a cupboard there too.
