We love the layout and can't honestly say we've seen anything else so far that has what ours has for the price. Good luck

Many thanks, we like it:)

No probs, glad you enjoyed :)

Still enjoy looking at it. :) thanks for watching

We have the same layout as your van, but the Accordo 125. Could you tell me the dimensions of the lounge table you have made, as it looks so practical within you van, compared to the little think that's installed. Great Vids - keep em coming

@@huggie0007 50cm x 61cm, folds over well under window too at that size.

No probs, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching :)

Unfortunately they don't make our model anymore but there are 2nd hand ones out there. Good luck.

No probs, glad you enjoyed :)

Thanks Bob, suits us fine. Will check out the 255 :) happy travels

byg it

Hi Tony. Apparently a lot of people who show dogs (small ones) like the van as the garage area can be used for their living/sleeping space, as it has easy access from garage to hab area.

Thanks :)

Thanks Swedish friends, what's the motorhoming like up there?

We nearly bought the 105 but decided in the end to go for the fixed bed. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks, it's got everything we want and suits our needs :)

wróng

Thanks Trevor. A 6m, slimline van was definitely a bonus in Cornwall last week. This model isn't much wider than the peugeot boxer van it's based on.

Not sure where you're based but next weekend is the Lincoln motorhome show. Great for getting around all the dealers and exploring lots of vans

@@KissisAdventures we are thinking of the the Elddis CV40 or Autotrail 636 sport, my wife prefers the 636 Sport as that does have a garage but is a few grand more

@@KissisAdventures I am in Stockton on Tees, so its not to far away, is it still on??? Loads of events been cancelled because of this bloody virus !!!!! This year is a write offf lol

@@trevlocke1962 not heard anything to the contrary yet

Thanks Robert. We looked at the 135 and thought we could probably leave the bed made up. Once we saw the 125 thought we were set on it. Fortunately, when we started looking seriously, we found one on a private sale with quite a lot of extras. Happy travels!! :)

@@KissisAdventures I meant to say that I had a bike rack fitted above rear hatch. It is a little high but if I take my kitchen folding step it is no trouble. Well worth having.

@@robertcrouch4664 be interested to know which model you got. Been looking at the fiamma ones and there's loads of them. Thanks

@@KissisAdventures I bought a Fiamma Carry-Bike Pro from Marquis Tewkesbury in March 2019. It cost (fitted) £385.20. I do use a folding kitchen step to lift the bike onto rack which is 155cm . Since buying mine Fiamma have bought out a manual or electric lift bike rack, from about £650 to £750. I think I'll be sicking to my kitchen step! www.leisureoutlet.com/motorhome-cycle-carriers/cycle-carriers/caravans-and-motorhomes/79344-thule-lift-v16-manual-bicycle-carrier?surface=active&gclid=Cj0KCQiA48j9BRC-ARIsAMQu3WS-WzihOtU_c1tZZX_1alo6uiNG0lWOKL4ElB5J1dyboOl-2Xx7O-MaAkulEALw_wcB

There was one in bed area. I've now fitted an extra one there and two reading lights in the cab. Thanks for your feedback :) the Rio range is nice. Yes, there is always a compromise somewhere.

Hi Janice. The extra bed is made up with a filler cushion that goes on a small section that pulls out from the bench seat. The reversed driver's seat makes up the remainder of the bed length. Not ideal, probably only suitable for a child. Max length 5 feet.

Hi Michael. I did put in a brew shelf but the wife made me take it out after a while, she said it looked a bit kitsch!! What??? I said. But as you may know 'happy wife, happy life'. Lol

yes it uß

MPG About 31mpg. Insurance about £250/year

@@KissisAdventures Thant you, 👍🙂 I can see me purchasing something similar In the next couple of years, Retirement, fishing & travelling is looming Fast.....LoL Thanks for the reply Stay Safe Jim 🚐🚐🚐

Perfect for that!! Lol

Hi there. Nice to talk to fellow 125 owners. Although we've had problems with the van, we havent found a better layout yet. Somewhere I have the model number of the lock. It screws into the door post.

@@KissisAdventures In some places the build quality and layout design are a bit dodgy, but for the price we can't find anything that we would chnge her for. Have used her a lot recently in UL of course, but also all throughrance Spain and Germany. looking forward to your next episode.

Hi Geoff. That is AC on the roof but needs repairing. On it when we bought and never found a need for it. It needs 240v and we tend to avoid EHU. transverse bed ok, I have to do the climbing over in the middle of night for loo but having a fixed bed in such a compact van easily outweighs that issue. Hope this helps.

we've put a big shower curtain in now which stops room getting too wet. can get mostly dried in shower room but we also have a vanity curtain by the hab door which gives you a private changing/drying area by the kitchen. :)

@@KissisAdventures Thank you for that. I guessed that was the solution. I also guess it minimises the amount of "towelling down" of the room?

Hi Geoff. Havent got around to the battery thing yet but when I researched it I remember finding batteries of all different dimensions that would fit that space. We are just about to set off on an 8 week trip to Spain, so a good opportunity to see how well one battery lasts. Good luck with your new van. Happy travels.

@@KissisAdventures Enjoy your Spanish adventure!

Hi, made the table top out of MDF and covered it with a map of Europe then see through fablon. Screwed it onto the existing table post. :) thanks for the feedback.

Pretty happy with our layout. For 6m vans you do have to compromise on a few things. A separate shower would have been good as ours is a combined toilet/shower. One definate for us would always be to have a garage and a fixed bed. Hope this helps. :)

Hi Mike. Thanks for the comments. I put a thick chain through the big hole under the seat and an even bigger lock. You're right, can't have enough security. We love the 125. We've had a few warranty issues but can't blame the van for that. Bad service from marquis regarding a faulty water heater.

I’ll be doing that and also adding a second battery,we have solar panels and by all accounts are great,haven’t been out in it yet....... chomping at the bit!!!

@@grumpy55 we're just moving house as you may have seen from one of the vids, in order to have the van at home. Think the first job will be a two-battery bank in the long cupboard in the garage. I'm hoping our 100w solar panel will still be enough to keep the two batts topped up. Will have to take some advice on that. Solar is great btw.

@@grumpy55 another thing Mike, there is an Elddis accordo owners facebook page which is good. About 200 members and no bitching :) it's call Elddis Accordo Motorhomes if you're interested.

@@KissisAdventures Thanks for that,I’ll have a look on.

Hi Bernard, sorry to hear about your setbacks. Hope your wife makes a speedy recovery. It's so frustrating staring out at the van and not being able top use it. We live it's and can't wait for more adventures. Are you in the Elddis Accordo Motorhomes facebook group? Nice little group. Take care :)

I will measure length of bed/space for you when it stops raining. 6.4m is a good length, it would just give you that extra bit of room without going to long. They've stopped making ours now so I guess used ones would be harder to find. Watch the width of the van too, ours is a slimmer width than most. Good luck

Bed/mattress length 6'. Internal bedroom length 6'6"". So a 6"" overlap to dangle your feet over. :) hope that's useful

Hi Josė. I'm assuming you mean running off the batteries. I only have one battery. I'm no expert but would imagine two batteries totaling at least 200ah would be better. Our solar panel is only 100w so probably at least 200w would be better to top the batteries up. With a suitable inverter there is no reason you couldn't run those items. Check out Greg Virgo or Gadget John for great tips on electrics :)

@@KissisAdventures A single 4D glass mat will give you 200AH. I have 4 of the 4Ds and a 3,000 watt inverter (+1,000W dedicated inverter for the fridge), but I still need the the generator on to run any of the A/C units.

@@rich7447 thanks Rich

Yes Elddis make them for Marquis too. Who are supposedly the biggest Motorhome seller in the UK. They are branded the Majestic 125.

Thanks John. Yes it is 240v and does blow. It just doesn't blow cold. I do need to get it looked at. Have you had any issues with yours?

@@KissisAdventures no issues in two years use but on some foreign sites they have very low amperage available so be careful what you hook up to. Your van is not old so I doubt much is wrong.

A/C doesn't work off of the generator too?

Hi. No, they're fairy lights or were. We've took them down. Although they look lovely at night, they look messy during the day. :)

@@KissisAdventures ah :) They were really thin and i couldn't make out the LED's . A really nice van and an enjoyable video . Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing

No damp problems although have had issues with water heater but now solved. You'll never get a perfect van, there'll always be something.

Hi Gary. We use mostly refillable gas and solar for 12v. Rarely use EHU. 2-3 week trip usually needs one fill of the gas, which costs about £11. Fridge runs quite efficiently on gas.

We wanted something we could take down most roads, get parked easy .. .. ish and be reasonable on fuel. Ours is also a narrow profile. If you are happy driving something bigger then go for it, you'll be glad of the extra comfort. Ours is a bit cramped sometimes especially if you are away in colder times of the year when there's no outside living. Thanks for watching, hope you get sorted :)

@@KissisAdventures Great tips thanks, I hadn't really considered too much about width. How would a 2.32m wide van fair when travelling to south spain through france/Europe and UK etc? Cheers.

@@MrFrobbo roads are great in France and Spain so size is not an issue. Scotland and France a different story. Depends how confident you are and what you've driven before. I wouldn't let it put you off your ideal van just make sure you're confident with the size. You thought of hiring one? :)

@@KissisAdventures thanks again guys. Yes I have pondered a hire, although I'm reasonably confident as used to tow a 29ft tourer caravan so have some experience. Nightmare when I ignored the road closed signs (as you do) and had to turn around 🤣, parking not particular easy without a motor mover too! The MH has dual purpose, emergency 'home' and travel. Thinking UK summer pitch to provide a base and Spain 4 months a year for warmth as parks generally close (if redundancy etc, tough times during a recession too). Any other advice more than welcome. Cheers.

it's 2.14m, 2.6m with mirrors out. That's narrow. We have the shorter mirrors. Thanks for lovely feedback.

@@KissisAdventures sorry can i ask whats that in old school feet and inches please..cheers

Can you expand a bit on what you're asking? We had a warranty claim on the water heater which went on a long time. Eventually after many trips it was diagnosed as a wiring fault which was only under warranty for the first year. Ended up sorting it myself which was a good learning experience.

Sure am. Well it's 5.99m

No, under 3.5 tonnes

it has double glazed windows. cabinets are compressed wood/mdf style

Would love one when the price comes down a bit :)

We're thinking of going full-time. Are 7.5 metres okay for tecso car parks etc?

@@doglifehub We bought a 7.5 Rapido and full timed in it around 20 plus countries in Europe for over a year. I was a bit nervous at first but very quickly got the detentions of it. In my opinion it’s the minimum and perfect size for full timing and many nights we spent in supermarket car parks here and there. Even being able to stop at Aldi etc to grab our supplies on the way to a campground was great. Anything smaller for full timing would be a real challenge I think. Good luck so jealous that you’re doing that because it was the best time of my life and will do it again… in Australia now 🙂

@@ruairijoseph Thanks for thatI I have experience of driving large vehicles but not for a while. We are really looking forward to it. I can work from the van so it makes it very doable for us. We are beginning to downsize and sell stuff in readiness for it. I'd love to visit Australia. It's on my list lol

@@doglifehub just a few things I’d mention on passing from my experience… I’m guessing you guys are in the UK or Ireland as you mentioned Tesco. If you’re going to spend most of your time in Europe I’d absolutely buy a left-hand drive van. Also, we read lots on forums with lots of handy tips about security etc, like leaving a battery radio on in the van if we were gone out etc. Also we were always so careful where we wild camped (Norway anywhere Eastern Europe nowhere) For full-timing I’m glad we decided on a fixed bed for a more homely feel instead of having to pack a bed away every morning. Also glad we insisted on a separate shower instead of a shower-toilet together as this is just so impractical for full timers. Anyway I could talk about it all night lol. Hope you get round to Australia one day it’s a special place. 🙂

About the size of a regular double, queen size. We use fitted sheets for a queen anyway

You're probs looking at 50k new. Not a cheap pastime. Maybe 30k, 4-5 years old

thats chep 1980 faries lbghiñghi litudsviper😊

Theft of motorhomes and campervans is quite common. Some people spend a lot of money on their pride and joy so worth the extra security investment :)

You can’t have enough locks on as far as I’m concerned,there’s some horrible people out there.

My friends have had 2 motorhomes stolen in a 2 year period and have now bought a holiday home instead. Their last one was a very expensive Kontiki which was stolen by "travellers" and captured on CTV but the police showed very little interest as they tend to do when dealing with certain lawless communities!!

I think so, as it is 3.3 tonnes. I'm old enough to have the old style C1 allowance on my licence. I think on the newer licences you can drive up to 3.5 tonnes.

New they are about £45k

@@KissisAdventures Thanks 😊

@@KissisAdventures 45 grand!! Are you insane? Its a van with a bed and a couple of cupboards.
