NEC Camping Caravan & Motorhome Show - did we buy the right van?

So we’ve been back to the NEC. Last year was the first time we’ve been. It was the first time we’d seen an Auto Trail Expedition 68 in the flesh. And we ordered one that day. Now ours is ready to pick up next month but we haven’t seen one since. Did we buy the right one for us? We went back to see even though it’s a done deal now.

There a lovely van and I like their colours too. Exciting times ahead.

Thanks. We are excited to see where it takes us this year, especially longer term over winter. Colour is nice isn’t it.

It's a good colour. We're coming up to 18months with our van and it's changed our life TBH. Don't forget to do the Fiat warranty if you want it you have to do it within 14 days of registration I think, not pickup (I think it's a Fiat?). If the dealer hasn't sold it to you that is.

Excellent video,I often think designers are not campers , some ideas are daft ,the electric van with its pathetic range is pointless We nearly got rid of our CV20 and traded for a Consort Reef at the Newbury show last year,but decided no,we are going for a factory visit shortly for another look.,enjoy your new purchase

I think Tyler’s Travels bought a Reef last year. They love it. They have a video somewhere

The expedition 68 pisses over any of those others that you looked at in my opinion. Maybe I’m biased, though - we don’t need the bike storage so have gone for the expedition 67 with auto box, awning and reverse camera. Don’t think you can beat the auto trail expedition range for the money - we looked at absolutely everything before deciding on the 67. Enjoy! We shall be following you on your journey with it 👍

Thanks. That’s exactly what we found after visiting the NEC show twice. There’s nothing comes close for the money, especially if you want a big garage.

Hi you two, hope you are both well 🙂 Very nice van, bet you can't wait to be out and about in it 🙂 Amazing how long it takes to get a van, think things are getting now though, about time as well, we have been let down a few times as you know. Looking forward to seeing you both out in it, take care and all the best, Trev Debz and Tyler x x

Back from the show ourselves today! Remember to get a "clutch claw" as well as a steering lock as ours was stolen last week. Recovered with some damage same day thanks to their excellent tracker! Good luck with the new van, we love ours 😊🎉

@@SuperMoose56 sorry to hear that but glad you got it back. Which tracker did you have as if it worked well would love a recommendation.

@@OnTheRoadAgain-NikkiandBilly it came with a Sargent tracker installed if it's auto trail - we bought used so not sure if it was factory installed or after market. It was very good though! We're thinking of getting an alarm installed as that might have helped! We had a standard steering lock on and the just cut through our steering wheel - maybe a full disk lock would have been a better deterrent? Not sure 🤔

I wondered if you saw a Rebellion 2 by RP Motorhomes from Yeadon nr Leeds. Yes the are expensive but they have a huge garage

@OnTheRoadAgain-NikkiandBilly 5 ай бұрын

We saw a lot of sprinters . Think we may have seen it as we walked ourselves ragged and couldn’t film everything. Which hall was it in?

@OnTheRoadAgain-NikkiandBilly 4 ай бұрын

Just seen video. That garage is huge but you weren’t joking about the price £196k
