Again, lots of great ideas. I was particularly impressed by IH this time - love the design on the cabinets and the curved ceiling lighting. That new fabric is lovely. I could definitely live in the electric version of one of those. Very nice look. Great show - enjoyed these videos, folks.
28:50 The feature Sue seemed most excited about 😂🤣 I prefer the rear lounge areas. They seem bigger and more private. Great job on all the tours, my friends 👍👏😊💕🤗
Haha yes I think Sue was shocked that this feature could exist in a Campervan 😂 It always makes me smile when she reacts like that. We love rear lounges too. Thank you for watching again. We love that you have been with us for so long 👍🏻😃💙 Trev
Hi Trev and Sue another great days reviews of videos you did much better than me when I went to NEC last l always seem to get overwhelmed lol 😂 Some great vans again with some lovely design touches I love the IH and they have made some really good quality well designed vans and they are hard to beat I also like the Malibu as well such a lovely looking van! The vantage vans are also very nice and seem to have a good standard of space and design There is so much choice now for people wanting a motor home and it’s amazing how there are so many approaches to achieve the best layout for a small range of base vehicles! Have you noticed much change Trev in terms of less LPG electric base vehicles etc I see quite a few people are looking at diesel heaters now Very well done again both I bet you were both tired after lots of walking in the NEC! All the best Daniel
The choice for a van conversion has never been better. There are so many options it’s mind blowing. We are definitely going to consider abandoning LPG for heating and water heating. It’s possible to have a very small bottle for cooking although we love our induction hob. It’s the electric oven that’s difficult unless you’re on a hookup. Time will tell. Diesel heaters are still not as good but over time I think they may become more reliable. Take care 👍🏻😃🚐💙 Trev
We think IH vans are special. It's very difficult to find another van that meets the high specifications, build quality and choice of colours and styles. We are going to find it very difficult to replace Smirf 😀💙 Trev n Sue
The Malibu are very smart and eye catching. We couldn’t find a rear lounge model though. Sue and I like to have the daytime space to put feet up and look out of the windows. It seems to work better for us in poor weather. The Malibu is definitely a good looking van inside and out 😃🚐👍🏻💙 Trev
Oooh a wine cooler! Swish! Hope you enjoyed your trip to the show as much as we did. We enjoyed the process of searching for our first campervan and think we have a plan....! N&Nx
Ooo well done, a plan 😉 There is so much choice that we always advise to look at as many vans as you can, then go back to the ones that made you go wow. The second look is often when you can exclude some because you have learnt stuff along the way. Then the tricky part… narrowing it down to one van 🚐 😃 We wish you luck 👍🏻💙 Trev n Sue
Great collection of videos from the show guys very much enjoyed it was hoping to see a Motorhome with twin drop down beds but clearly no one does a layout like that as ive watched shed loads of vlogs from the show but nothing with front & rear drop down double beds!!😔 Anyway great vlogs again guy's!! All the best Dave 👍🏻 👌🏻
There are a couple of vans with double drop down beds. Bailey, Burstner and Mobilvetta all have a double drop down bed at front and rear (leaving two daytime living spaces) in one of their models. With regards to single drop downs, I don’t think there is a reliable mechanism to achieve twin beds that drop down. Thanks for watching our series, hope you find a layout that suits you 👍🏻😃🚐💙 Trev n Sue
@PoshcatsCamping OMG thanks so much for getting back to me very much appreciated & will Google them manufacturers for more information kind regards Dave!!👌🏻👍🏻
More great thorough reviews of the various vans and layouts as always, thank you….. I’m delighted with my FIAT IH 600RL, just back from Scotland and off to Italy in November, the only thing that lets it down is the driver & passenger seats. My Fiat is 2023 and finally arrived after a long two year wait due to covid and Ukraine and therefore (despite it being top range), van arrived with standard van seats - only one armrest and didn’t swivel. After market swivel seat bases were fitted by IH, one of which is faulty (off to IH tomorrow for the fourth time with the same issue as they’ve finally agreed there’s a problem with it and have ordered a replacement swivel base); I’ve held many discussions and emails with IH to see whether they’d consider changing the seats for the one’s they now use - I’m guessing the seats I have come with new vans and are not considered good enough their luxury van conversion., however I’m just hit with a stone wall. Shame really, as their after sales has dampened things a little for me. Never the less, we live and learn….. Happy travels x🚐🐶
The thing we find frustrating with after sales is that we, the customer, are not considered experts in anything. We have experienced poor service from many dealerships. I hope you are able to get this resolved quickly and your Italian trip is awesome. Watch out for the crazy Italian roads 😯😃 🚐💙 Trev n Sue
@@PoshcatsCamping Thanks Trev, good to know it’s not just me….. Doesn’t seem to matter what you purchase these days, as you say, we the customer know nothing and neither do we have anything to do in our well earned retirement 🤭 Anyway, all fixed now, so good to go 🤞x🍻🚐🐶

Hi Trev and Sue, enjoyed the look around the panel vans, the IH vans are special aren't they, great reviews x Julie and Tony x

I enjoyed that look around and can see why you like the IH. My favourite today was the 540 Malibu. Take care Gill

I’ve found after sales on most motorhome companies terrible.
@@janicebell605 Pretty outrageous really, not to mention the lack of thought for future business, recommendations etc…..
