Having an automatic is a game-changer for a camper van makes driving so much easier and allows you to pay more attention to the maneuvering

@BobEarnshawMoHo 3 ай бұрын

Yes, helps you pay more attention in general I think.

@patgillmore6969 3 ай бұрын

Definitely ! I am much more comfortable driving our 6 metre auto camper van than our previous van which was a 5 metre manual.

You have gone up a notch with this van Bob and Jenny, definitely a wow factor and you will certainly be comfortable in the Kontiki. Looks beautiful and will be interesting to see how you adapt it with all your little mods and personal touches. Congratulations 😃👍🏻💙🚐 Trev n Sue

I find myself so very happy for the both of you watching you collect your new van. It seems like only yesterday you were collecting the last one and we were right there with you. I’m excited to see your adventures in Konnie and your shakedown tour. Of course not everything will be perfect with a new motorhome so seeing how you deal with the little things that need sorting by Todd’s will be interesting too. Have fun you two and Poppy and thanks for taking me with you.

Congrats on the new van Bob & Jenny, agree with the wow-factor this van brings and the automatic is a game-changer, especially when it is as silky smooth as it sounds! Huge garage is a massive plus too, so much easier to stay on top of the clutter. Top stuff and great video as always.

@brumsgrub8633 3 ай бұрын

It's very lovely, hope you enjoy it and we will very much enjoy watching your videos in it. Something my boss has done with his, which he's found very useful is put some spot lights on the front, you the type mini cars used to have on them. He said sometimes on campsites the extra light has really helped out, driving down lanes ect. And they look pretty cool too, and not very expensive. Very useful i would imagine

Congratulations Bob & Jenny, your new motorhome is a beauty. Bob, you are going to love the digital dashboard, it can give you loads of information and it's full of safety features such as lane departure, and road sign recognition which I find useful. The steering is electronic, hence the light steering. There are loads more. We are sure you'll enjoy the many tours and trips in “Konnie” All the best KeV & Tracey

Thanks, the steering is so much lighter, that's got to help on long journeys too.
