    VB air, and self levelling are game changers, the VB is also much better driving in windy conditions and passing artics, no more drag in passing. Bought the portable fridge with your code, very useful full of cold drinks as we’re currently in the Var, with med weather 🫶

    You need a Cinderella loo, it is life changing !! Best upgrade we did, even better than our levellers, ecotree lithium, 3000w inverter etc. Never ever need empty a cassette, no water, no smells, no chemicals, genius! Although mine is run on lpg they are about to bring out one run off diesel!!! We put in the biggest underslung lpg tank we could fit so our loo is always working but will probably change to diesel in due course when new loo available. I cannot understand why not offered as an option on all motorhomes.

    Hi. I looked into that UV water filter a while back. Only effective on flow of less than 4 litres per minute. Most pumps have larger flow than this. Please don't get caught out

    I tied my starlink into the WAN Ethernet port of my dual SIM 5G router (Teltonika). Set the Starlink router to pass through mode. Then set Ethernet WAN on the 5G router as priority, with fallback to SIM1 and then SIM2.
    Works great as all devices always connect to the same router (I didn’t want to have to think about attaching to the Starlink WiFi as needed) and if I don’t setup starlink it just automatically moves to the SIMs.

    Well that was a lot to take in havnt slept all night worrying about when we will actually get our motorhome .Lots of dud dates given .Waiting to tour Europe but can't book even our ferry .Swift should do like hymer where you can see yourself where your van is up to
    Your total spend on motorhome and extras must be touching 200k surely
    Most of us don't have lots left over after our purchase
    Did the manufacturers pay you to advertise their products .Your very lucky .I will look at the bear security think you called it thanks

    @Basilbrush207 6 месяцев назад +3

    Wow. Def reminds me of a fast talking shopping channel. Sorry guys but can’t help thinking a lot of the ‘upgrades’ such as the poor performing fridge, lack of shelves in the top cupboards,suspension and stereo output should’ve been already addressed in a £100k motorhome to make it fit for purpose. Did you manage to get any repairs done under the swift warranty such as the leaking habitation door, broken cupboard knobs, failing toilet mechanism and jamming awning? I appreciate this is a difficult question as ambassador’s for Swift but would you buy another Swift after all these problems in the first two years? Also have you sorted out the problem with the lack of front wheel drive traction on wet and loose dirt roads? Maybe the next upgrade?

    This is not a sarcastic comment, but why did you not buy a premium Motorhome in the first place. Why a Swift, why not a N&B or a Morelo etc where all this type of work would be standard?

    • @RoamingRadfords
      @RoamingRadfords  6 месяцев назад

      There are many reasons, but the main one being that neither of those manufacturers make 5/6 berth motorhomes.

Morelo offers a number with rear island or sunbathing beds (full width) drop down lounge seating table bed and the usual A Class drop down bed. They will also provide 6 belted seats.
