    Amazing to see this, we used to own Bertie, he was our first motorhome and we loved him. We did lots of the work on his interior. We love his new work surfaces. We had many happy travels in him. Wishing you fantastic adventures in him. Can’t wait to see your travels in him.

      Wow, that is amazing to hear!! What a small world! Thank you for the well wishes! I can tell he's been loved over the years. He's a fantastic little starter motorhome! During which years did you own him if you don't mind me asking?

      @@otakuhimee8291 We bought him in November 2017 and had him until June 2022. We have lots of pictures of what he was like when we bought him. We named him ‘Bertie’ it just seemed to suit him. We’re delighted that he’s continuing to a fabulous motorhome for you. We can’t wait to see your adventures in him. If you have any questions about how thing work just ask.

The layout of your van is great and they have amazing storage. Wishing loads of fun and safe and happy travels xx

    A very clean and well looked after camper from the look of the vid, but I would be more concerned about the underside and the engine. Also check for any leaks which can be a death knell for a camper. All the best in your adventures. I would also get a good breakdown cover just in case.

    • @otakuhimee8291
      @otakuhimee8291  Месяц назад +1

      Absolutely true and great size for starting out. I did a lot of research before buying it and have since done a lot of re-sealing where there had been historical damp (no problems as of current though). I will be checking the flooring thanks to this advice though! Cheers!

    Very nice well looked after motorhome, I have been looking at motorhomes and I can't think why someone would buy a converted van to be honest, they are normally done by a DIY guy in his garage, the vans have been abused in their early life and is hard to find one under 200'000 miles, LOL, also these ones are purpose factory made, always seem quite luxurious (even older ones) and low mileage and well looked after. I enjoyed your video, hope you have happy times in her or him.

    • @otakuhimee8291
      @otakuhimee8291  Месяц назад

      @otakuhimee8291  Месяц назад +1

      The habitation door is only on the driver's side! This is something I queried when buying it too as it is still a right-hand drive. Apparently it is because the motorhome was designed in Italy where they're usually left-hand drive vehicles. Very odd though for a vehicle that was not imported
