SAD!! This week we say goodbye to our lovely motorhome Indie. We made a spontaneous stop at a motorhome dealership and ended up buying a new motorhome but that didn’t prove too easy so come along as we make the transition from our little 6 metre home on wheels to our new motorhome and have our last Adventures with Indie.

Oh wow, what a coincidence! Can you reach the top shelves of the cupboards 😂 We’ve just spent 4 nights in her off grid and she was a great base for everything so we are more than happy. Thank you so much for watching and for your comment, we really do appreciate that - Amanda & Mark 😍

We’ve really enjoyed watching your adventures and have just seen the one where you took your new van home for the first time. With regard to needing to use ramps to get on to your drive we were wondering if air suspension would solve the problem. We’ve recently had it fitted to the rear of our van to allow us to uprate our max weight allowance, our van now sits higher at the back and we can lift it even higher if need be, I suspect enough for you to get on your drive. A bonus is that we live in Plymouth and store the van at Ernesettle so if you wanted a look to see what it does it would be easy to arrange. Please let us know if you’d like to see it action.

Hi, thank you so much that is so kind of you 😊 We may very well be in touch as air suspension has been mentioned to us quite a few times and we met a supplier at the Motorhome Show we have just come back from to get more information and a quote. He could have done the job whilst we were there but we're still unsure. It's good to have so many recommendations from people though! Thank you for also watching our adventures, that means a lot 😊 Millie has to go back to the dealers for a couple days now as she is having a few things sorted .... finally 😂

Ha Ha just had to laugh. Brings back memories of our previous address with a steep access to the road. We had to transport 2 18 foot planks to make a ramp and support it with polystyrene blocks. It took 40 mins to complete the escape. We had a caravan at the time so guiding it with the mover attracted a lot of attention. We are looking forward to the delivery of our new MO in the next few weeks. Enjoy. 😊😊

🤭 Oh goodness! I had to giggle at the 40 minutes to escape bit but that must have been some effort with such big planks - WOW!! Thought ours were big enough! Mark is going to have to get back to the gym so he can keep lifting them for as long as possible although a lot of people have mentioned air suspension which we did talk about so may look into this further now that we have Millie. You must be so excited to be getting a new one - remind me what make/model it is? Where are you going to head to first? Amanda & Mark 😍

Hi Amanda. I guess air suspension would be good. Our new MOHO will be a Swift Voyager 584. not a clue where we will go first. We have photo of the caravan on top of the planks. We attached a golf trolley to one end and a sack trolley to the other and steered it up our drive set it up then brought the van up on the mover. Good fun NOT. We take inspiration from yourselves and a few others Y tubers and hope to enjoy many road trips. 😃😃👍

We're glad you're impressed with the quality as we don't have any sort of media background so I just try to edit the footage we take as best as I can and we always watch them back two or three times to make sure they're something we would really be happy watching. Do you have your own Motorhome? We can't wait to start having adventure with Millie - we've just come back from our first music festival 🎶💃🏼🕺🏼and we're off to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and a Motorhome show soon so lots to share.

I still am not 100% sure how the locks work? lol We wish you happy travels and maybe see you on the road one day.

It honestly was a bit of a shock to us when it happened 🤣 We keep leaving the fridge door slightly ajar so need to remember to shut that properly and as much as I try the toilet paper will not one through the little gap in the under sink cupboard properly 😂 Hope you guys are taller than us and able to reach in the cupboards easier that we do! We do love her though and happy travels to you too! Wow sounds like an amazing weekend ahead of you! We have both completed an Ironman distance triathlon but can’t say I enjoyed the swimming that much! Hope you have a fab time - we’re off in Millie to see my family in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Just to add, we have a similar issue but in reverse with our drive. Finally added air suspension to our last van which gave us a 5 inch up lift if measured on the back end which was enough. Expensive when you have the Alko rear suspension, but much cheaper with the Fiat back end. The difference being you can use it when you are out and about.

Hi Mark, we did talk about getting air suspension but didn’t know how to work out how much extra up lift it would give us without actually making the investment. It maybe something we will look into further but in the meantime we might possibly get slightly shorter (and lighter) ramps. Thank you for the suggestion though, we appreciate that - Amanda & Mark 😍

@@SaintsTravels Sorry for the delay in replying, we were on a cruise for a couple of weeks. Nice to meet some fellow Cornish Burstner owners 😊 One of things Mark really liked about ours was the build quality too. We have loads of storage as well and can keep the bikes safe in the garage. We are definitely spoilt for choice down here and sometimes I find it really hard deciding which coast to go to first 😂 We’re hoping to head down to St Ives in a few weeks time to a site I’ve wanted to visit for a while - have you got a favourite? We’re the same with my annual leave and we like raising as well so that ties up a few weeks of my leave so we’ll just have to make the most of our long weekends. Take care - Amanda 😍

Hello,I agree with Mark the build quality is fab. We had a new Swift previously but had several problems with it so we opted for a 3 year old Burstner. We love the North coast,Bude is a fav of mine. My wife loves the CAMC site at Tintagel. Hope you enjoyed your Cruise. We also love Dorset,Devon and Somerset. Not sure if you’ve tried any Tranquil Park sites,they are adult only and are dotted around the UK. Enjoy your travels,maybe our paths will cross one day 😀
