Hi, I was thinking of buying the Ford automatic until I just read the issue with a wet cam belt you mentioned?. Could you give more info on this potential problem please.
I didn't mention it was @retro423 - some Ford owners, Transits, Focus and the like, have reported the cam belt has failed prematurely, before the Ford recommended cam belt change (at 140,000 miles for Transits) Most Ford dealers will probably recommend a belt change earlier that that now, possibly after 5 years or before 90k miles. Many vehicles already have cam belt changes at those intervals, including my VW Up!
@@BobEarnshawMoHo That's right Bob but I wouldn't dare run them to 90K, more like 70K or 4 years, not good as it's a big job to change them, and big bucks
Well done Bob a great review as ever hope you Jenny poppy are well
Very well
Really lovely.
I like van number one, I do loke Auto trails colours, easy on the eyes.
Fantastic Video. Well Done.
Like looking in the motorhomes 😊thank you for sharing
Both very nice vans, I do prefer a manual gearbox although ours is auto.
You would like the nine speed automatic.

Where was the bed in the first van
The front dinette converts into a double bed.
The Transit based motorhomes do look good but I wouldn't have one due to the wet cam belt, which can fail prematurely, destroying the engine
The new recommendation is to change them around 90k miles, or after 5 years whichever is sooner.

I doubt many Motorhomes will ever get to even 80k miles, but yes, an additional unwelcome expense after 5 years.
£5 under £67k surely...😉
Maths was never my strong point. 😂
Nice mid sized choices 🚐👍🏻 Trev
