Hope you enjoy it! Only thing I would change is the heavy nose weight, it’s a pain trying to get it right. cheers

Great video Martin. Like the front bed system wished I seen that 5 years ago. Agree regarding alde heating only needs an hour on gas to be toastie. And I like you prefer the shower in the van. 👍

Yes Alde heating all the way for us, more expensive vans but worth it in our view. Thanks for watching 😊

A good insight to other ‘banners logic when selecting their ideal touring vehicle, thanks for sharing Martin… 👍🏻 We solved the frequent ‘wee’ small hours need by opting for fixed singles - that way, when the Alde heating does happen to be on, we both overheat! Only fair innit… 😆

Hi Rog, we’ve not ruled out the single bed option for our next van but have a while to think about it. Glad you are both toasty warm at night! Cheers

We had very similar choices for our van Martin, love the half bed lounge. 😁

Yes the lounge is great Colin, we are waiting until we don’t have children with us to look at different vans. That will be a long search! Cheers

Must be two single beds rear washroom for me when I change my Swift Conqueror 650. Sleeping next my wife in the summer is a nightmare.
@TheCaravanNut3 жыл бұрын
We haven’t ruled out the single bed configuration, however you don’t get a proper door into the bedroom with the single bed layout as you do the the end bed. Will have to see what’s around when we eventually change. Cheers

Hi I have just bought a 2016 Ford Kuga, do you know how to stop the mirrors folding in when you have the towing mirrors on, as you have a Kuga. Thanks.
@TheCaravanNut3 жыл бұрын
No sorry, on our Kuga the mirrors are not auto fold you press a button to do it.
