  • A TOTALLY UNEXPECTED Decision to
    take a little look at this beautiful Adria
    Action 361 LT Caravan , Nearly tempted to
    crossing over to the dark ?, or light ? side
    We walked past this van and it immediately
    got our attention due to its quirky appeal and
    size, Small on the outside and large inside it
    really did surprise us, large make up beds &
    plenty of floor space, external storage
    access but no front locker from what I could see , A high level panoramic roof light made it bright and airy along with the white surface tops
    Easier to tow? The ideal starter van?
    Either way we were VERY IMPRESSED

    We spontaneously bought one. Went to pick up some bits for the motorhome. Saw this and traded in motorhome. We love it. And one less vehicle to tax!

    Hi Mike & Kirsty, perfect for towing behind your van!! Cracking little caravan, couldn’t believe the space. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Dave & Helen 👍

      Hi dave & helen , we had no idea what we was looking at 😂 but it seemed nice , ideal for beginners i spose , ive since been told it’s easier to tow a big caravan than a little one 🤷‍♂️

    Love it when you pull the bottom draws on the 361and it hits the bin when the door is closed meaning even if it is raining you still have to open the door to open the drawers

    • @TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel
      @TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel  Год назад +1

      Yes we said after wonder how that bottom drawer opens when it’s freezing outside , a strange bit of designing in that area and would put people off

    The Dark Side 😮
    and we was thinking Trick or Treat was over 😂
    After towing a 44ft / tri axle trailer at work ,for me it’s got to be a camper van or motorhome .
    As always there is a BUT ,
    many people like caravanning and we are all different .
    Kirsty said cute and yes we have seen them on sites and was nice to have the Mike & Kirsty tour .
    Horses for courses !!
    What surprise do you have for us all next Mike ……
    Mike,Kirsty was defo something different and that’s what makes your channel interesting and you guys stand out from the rest . 👍🏻👍🏻😎

      Cheers keith michelle & freedom , hope you are all ok , we never even knew that adria has been out for years ! We’ve never seen one on site but seen plenty of the swift basecamps , similar pod like caravans , we love them , I don’t know how you drive those big trucks so towing that little thing for you would be easy , even the thought of towing anything puts the fear of god in me , so tons of respect from me to the caravaners out there that do it , must say though there was a minute there where We thought mmmmm 🤔 we could actually do this , who knows what’s around the corner 😂
      Thanks again for the great comment
      Have a good week

    Hi Mike and Kirsty.
    Love you're vlogs. Like the other comment said you've been on the dark side for years.😉
    We'll make a caravaner of you two yet. Did you really like that Adria, thought the back was ugly, still we all have different tastes, have to remember you are a motorhomer.😁
    Keep it up you pair. Nice easy funny vlogs.
    Keep safe.

      Hi pete & su , haha yes I’m still not sure what side we are on dark or light but we could be tempted ! Yes the back was ugly but for us it seemed so spacious and ideal for a beginner , make up beds yes , but floor space and storage seemed adequate, yes true im a motorhomer who am i to judge a caravan 😂 , it was a quirky little thing and worth a look , exactly what kirsty said when she met me 😂 we were rather impressed though

    The cupboard under the fridge is your wardrobe with the shelves removed hence the hanging rail. We have been looking at tiny tourer’s but they are just too compact & mostly unavailable s/h. Separate end bathroom 3 foot longer 2 berth is now on the cards.

    We have had caravans then a large motorhome. This week we sold the motorhome and are buying a vw campervan and a caravan.....we figure it will give us the best of both worlds but who knows? I think that caravan suited you!!🤣🤣

    • @TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel
      @TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel  Год назад

      We have seen people pulling up on site with a vw towing a caravan , a good idea I think , plenty of extra space , a vehicle to use for going out whilst caravan pitched , definitely the best of both worlds , it was actually a nice little caravan plenty of space for the size of it !

    Good vlog a bit of variety as we aren't all out on sites this time of year , we have a place near to us that do funky type caravan's and pop ups we think they are very smart and are beginning to look like luxury yachts, this story I'm about to tell you all happened in the space of three weeks, out daughter was some sort of business advisor and walked in one night and announced I've left my job and I'm off to France tomorrow as I've took a job as maintenance on a campsite, (she'd never done maintenance in her life 🤣😂🤣) anyway next morning she's gone, next we hear is her accommodation is a caravan which she liked but not so much the sharing so we hatched a plan, we shot out 🤣😂bought a used caravan and a few bits, wheel clamp awning etc, towed it home and booked a ferry with the intention of surprising her by having a holiday on her campsite and leaving her the caravan to live in till the end of the season when I'd go pick it up and tow it home, anyway before we knew the street door opened and it's our daughter 😂🤣 I've left that job and taken a job in Greece as a hotel rep lol , I leave tomorrow lolol, so we put the caravan up for sale and sold it a couple of days later for a loss of £700 lol, we didn't even get to spend a single night in it lololol oh how we miss that van lolol. Another good vlog keep them coming 👍.

    • @TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel
      @TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel  Год назад +1

      Oh nooo I can’t believe it !! 😂😂 what a nightmare , maintenance on campsites is a lot of work and non stop she probably thought sod this I’m off ! 😂 , can’t believe you never even got to spend a single night in it , what a palaver all that , oh well hope she settles in greece , for all of you , it’s a long drive there 😂 especially towing 🤣 , anyway.. hope you are both well and enjoying vanlife , Ypres looked brilliant can’t wait Till we can travel further than norfolk 😂
