I love the detailed explanation of useful hints and tips, you do it in such a way that is so helpful. Ref the red light I was surprised 'the boss' failed to give the necessary warning 😉, still a thoroughly enjoyable and informative vlog - thank you
Thanks for the toilet demo Bob, I have always wondered what the button was for. Usually I half empty the cassette then open the big hole (as it's been described in the comments), also you have answered another question that we have been to embarrassed to ask.
Hi bob Been watching your blog which has been really helpful, we are very new to motorhome. We ordered a bailey for delivery after Christmas but changed to a 2 year old elddis encore which we bought in between Xmas and new year, it's saved us a lots of money, so we are going to France Spain and Italy over the winter, had our first tour to Dumfries area and covered 485 miles over new year staying in car parks portpatrick and sweetheart abbey and galiston lodge caravan site, the peageut engine 130bhp is really strong and very good on fuel, only using half a tank of fuel. We are very pleased we ourselves and thanks to You made motorhome touring enjoyable. We are from sailing background and have been sailing round the med and now we are on our land yacht Neal and Tricia
Feeling chesty ? Must be the stress of being Bob&Jenny-Two-Vans. All that moving of gear and wondering where to put your cornflakes LOL. Enjoying your descriptions so far but already see advantages with the Bolero. Nice looking van though. Trev 👍🏻😄
Hi Bob, I thought your demonstration of how easy it is loose something down the toilet emptying point was well disguised, it almost looked natural, if that had been the toilet end cap!!!! Not all sites provide somewhere to store the cap when emptying the cassette. Nice looking motorhome.
As usual another great video. One point being mentioned is how low the waste pipe is. All Bailey motorhomes are built on a ALKO low chassis which it is claimed to improve road holding and ease of access. You cant have everything. Other comments have been made comparing it to your own van, but in a way an unfair comparison as your Bolero is near top of the range and you are test driving Baileys entry level range motorhome.
It's difficult for us not to make comparisons too. I think back to what our early motorhomes were like, we'd have loved to have had a Motorhome like this as a starter Motorhome!
When we hired the fiat I didn't find the orange dashboard messages very readable/user friendly either including the cruise control. Enjoy your trip thanks for posting.poppy's adapted to her temp motor home well I think...
Have you noticed on the dashboard whether there is a potential warning/ message light as to when the ad blue needs topping up? On my Discovery Sport ( Now gone hence new motorhome) a warning would come up a couple of thousand miles to go.It would continue a warning you every 500 miles until it got to the final few hundred. if you ignored it and ran out the engine would not restart.
I haven't seen a light for that or got to that stage yet, only 100 miles done so far. I would guess a warning message would come up. I can't see a light, but I know what you mean, I hired a Vauxhall Zafira a couple of years ago, and almost as soon as I started driving it, the warning light came on, with 500 miles to go before it needed refilling.
Having seen the interior of the Bailey Advance again I do like the layout. Which heating do you prefer, the blown air or Alde radiators? I suppose it is a case of 'swings and roundabouts'. The blown air is probably quicker to heat up the interior, and I think that for anyone using their motorhome in winter months the abiity to use gas while on the move is really useful. I can't understand why Bailey haven't supplied an owners manual. I don't think I have been to any of the sites you are visiting, yet, but I like the look of Southport C&MC and it looks handy for walking into the town from site.
Thanks, yes, the different heaters have different advantages, Truma heats up quicker, but Alde doesn't have heater pipes everywhere. I managed to download a manual, so technology saves the day. Southport is a nice site, about 10 minutes walk into the town. I did an Arriving at Southport video a while ago.
Great vlog again thanks. Just to top and tail the loo empty bit (as a newbie who spent a couple of weeks in a motorhome for the first time last year), am I right in think you would have opened the larger hole again when you got back to the van to put in the blue gloop - we were putting it in the emptying tube as didn’t think to open the bigger one and weren’t shown by the hire co. This would solve the issue we had with most of the chemical seemingly sticking to the sides of the tube instead of going into the tank!
Thanks. I appreciate it probably sounds really obvious, but useful to know for anyone like me this time last year who has zero experience of how these things work! It’s one of those essential processes where there’s little online to show you exactly what the process is beforehand!
Yes, I use a liquid that has it's own measuring container and normally put it in via the big hole. It's easier, but if you need to measure the blue, the cap has marks on it.
The handbrake is the thing I struggle with most on our motorhome which is on a Renault master. It’s located between the front seats but I can never tell if it’s on or off (because of the seats being able to turn, the handbrake is always in a down position)
Well done : ) ....... Thank you very much for sharing : ) ........ I would think a rear camera came standard on all caravans - to include - rear motion detector alarm ? ...... I guess not : [ ....... mmmmmm ... Thank you for answering my questions or some of them : ) .......... Right than - I look forward to your next adventure : ) ......... Peace on Earth : ) ........
Hi Bob. Great video again with some useful info. I agree there should be some kind of reverse camera or sensors on these vehicles, my little Toyota car has both fitted as standard. Was that a red light you went through leading onto the roundabout?? Oops...
@@BobEarnshawMoHo honest guv I didn't see anything ... Actually it high lights what you was saying about tail people and the fact that the mechanism for the seat makes you seem perched up high. The view of the light was probably hidden in a blind spot. - obviously a issue that you was highlighting. (Public service and all that). Do you find that the 'A' pillars with the blinds on cause problems? Looking at that waste water again,it looks like the tank its self is very low. Is it protected? I suspect a replacement tank would cost a few Bob! (no pun intended). Keep it up! Regards
@@nicklong9547thanks, I was looking at the lights further on officer, didn't see the lights on the crossing. Yes all Fiat Peugeot Motorhomes have a blind spot on the front pillar. The blinds don't make it any worse though. The waste pipe is low, but it's just the pipe at risk, not the tank. I know because I have knocked the pipe when I had a Bailey Compact.
Re cab controls... don’t know if it’s the same on a brand new van, ours is a 64 reg. I think it’s wrong you can’t have the side lights only on. The switch is either off or full headlights on . With modern vehicles having daytime running lights you’ve always got something at the front lit up but occasionally you feel like you need some rear lighting but not needing full headlights on.
Very informative video. Emptying the toilet cassette wasn't as bad as I expected. I presume the blue stuff dissolves toilet paper and solids? Ironic that when you're in the UP, you're down (lower than in the motorhome)!
Thanks, yes, I know, but they seem to have removed the lettering on the latest one, it just has indentations to mark how much. I normally use a chemical that has it's own measuring container.
Nice video. It was very informative. Out of interest. do you tend to use public transport once you've set it up? Or do you drive around in it to visit attractions or shopping etc? TIA
Thanks for the question, you'll have to watch the rest of the series to see how we get on. But we tend not to rely on public transport, as often dogs are not allowed. We sometimes tow our small car behind our own motorhome, or go out in the motorhome. Quite often campsites are near towns and villages.
Hi bob and Jenny fab video like the walk around of van that waste pipe is low is the bailly wider than your van or narrower .been the bailly van is a low cost van so there thing that aren't on there like reversing camera and other things because it a low cost van do u thing u saving much money buying a low cost van and putting the things on yourself or buying a upper model with those things on seem those gadget missing off van r what u need for daily use cheers .kev
Thanks, yes it's wider than our motirhome at 2.489 compared to 2.38 metres. Can't say I noticed when driving. Yes, you read my thoughts, buying this motorhome would mean you can add the things you really need, so if you never go off grid, you might not need solar panel.
Hi Bob & Jenny, yet another informative video. You mention fuel consumption but what really interests me is the Adblue additive usage and extra cost involved in comparison to the Fiat engine, for this one reason I wouldn’t have a Peugeot. I have noticed too, in my opinion the Bailey seems sparse and basic against your Swift, the omission of a rear view camera has shown up how critical a piece of equipment it is when you consider that little kid and the bike behind you last time you were out in your Bolero, that could’ve ended in tragedy if you’d been in the Bailey then! These cameras should be made compulsory as they are now in the U.S. That waste pipe is very prone too, I have seen one that flips up when not being used, perhaps that may be an idea for Bailey and others to adopt? Keep up with the great videos, I really enjoy watching them and look forward to seeing which heating system you prefer and to whether the Truma be used whilst driving as well. 👍👍
Thanks for your comments, what you have to bear in mind is there is a large price difference (circa £20k) between the new version of our Motorhome and The Bailey Advance 76-4T. For that reason, it is unfair to make comparisons. However, I agree with you about rear view cameras, they should be compulsory.
Thanks for the info, the grey waste pipe you attached was it bought by you or does the Burrs supply, we've been a number of times and didn't know that's what the full service pitch is like! Hope you got to visit The Lampost Cafe and get Poppy a Woofin :) most dog friendly cafe we have ever been to! Regards Jan
youd think theyd fit a reverse camera on all modern motorhomes or campers as standard, that seems insane to me, im an hgv driver most modern trucks have a rev camera, take care pal
Thanks for the questions. We've lost 20bhp and because this Motorhome is lighter it's been no issue at all. I haven't had reason to take the Adblue cover off as it only needs topping up every 6000 miles or so. I know people can top it up themselves.
If that cassett was full of its normal contents! and you leave the big opening open! you will end up with the contents all over ya hands......thats why they have a vacum button.
I had to watch this video again (nearly two years ago) and I did use the button. You may have noticed I removed the slide cover after I had emptied the toilet whilst I was rinsing it. You can also remove the spout, but you do need to be careful there.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo Daft question but can you get double glazing in motorhomes/caravans. Another daft question, can you turn off the heating in the bathroom/bedroom if you don't want it on like you do in a household radiator where you turn off at the bottom.
@@davidtaylorbfd Good questions. The habitation windows are double glazed. Normally have two layers of plastic with air in between. The cab windows aren't. One advantage of blown air heating over Alde heating is you can close off the vents in areas that get too hot. The Alde heating we have doesn't have taps you can shut, like at home.
The bailey brochure has a measurement for the width with mirrors folded. Do they mean folded out or in because the measurement for both the Advance and the Autograph ranges are the same. The Autograph is obviously wider in the body and if the mirrors were folded in the body would be wider than the cab so the two ranges should have different widths and not the same width as Bailey state. Do you have a tape measure and could you measure the width of the body please?
Thanks, you clarified something for me as well. On the Advance the habitation width (the caravan part) is 2280mm and the cab width mirrors folded in measurement 2489mm. On the Autograph habitation width is 2422, and cab width is the same at 2489mm. So the caravan part on the Autograph is wider.
Thanks, but I'm still confused. With the mirrors folded in the cab cannot be wider than the bodywork, the 2489mm must be with the mirrors out or it is the external measurement of the wider Autograph body (and is wrongly stated for the Advance which is obviously narrower). Im being OCD about it as I have a very narrow driveway. Ive measured an Advance at the dealers and it was nearer the 2280 than the 2489 !!!
Thanks for the question. No, you don't need the engine running. The habitation heating works either on Electric or on Gas - LPG, Propane or Butane bottled gas, or some people use refillable LPG tanks. If we stay on a campsite and they have electric hookup, we will set it to run on electric, if we are out and about, stopped in a layby or admiring the view, we can use gas.
Just a thought bob ?if when pulling a suitcase through an airport your classed as a trolley dolly. What does that make you if your pull your own 💩💩💩💩💩behind you 😂😂😂.....sorry jenny had to be said and done 🙈🙉🙊👍
I think the one thing my hubbie always asks is " are we past yet?" when over taking a lorry. Sometimes they flash you by but not always. We do have a rear camera like the one on your Balero bt he still asks.

@@richardharris9536 the mirrors folded are the widest point. If I look down the Motorhome when they are folded they stick out a little bit.
You always say wing mirrors Bob.
They arnt wing mirrors they are door mirrors, they havnt been wing mirrors since the 70s lol.
I was born in the 50's and they are forever wing mirrors! 🤣
Have to ask how does the heating work in motorhomes? Do you need the engine running, like a car, or is it gas?
Thanks for the question. No, you don't need the engine running. The habitation heating works either on Electric or on Gas - LPG, Propane or Butane bottled gas, or some people use refillable LPG tanks. If we stay on a campsite and they have electric hookup, we will set it to run on electric, if we are out and about, stopped in a layby or admiring the view, we can use gas.
Is it possible to have the habitation lights on whilst driving.
No, most British made motorhomes are wired so you can't have the hab lights on when driving. Some regulation about interference.
