Having changed our van last year I do miss our compresor fridge it was same size as our now 3way but inside was able to store half as much again,and like you we never heard it at all ,iv did three days off grid without any problems( I do have 2x100 batteries and 200 panel on the roof).Nice to have a glimpse of the memorial and vehicles ,thank you❤

Nice video as always 👍 We would never go back to a three way fridge having had a compressor - ours is a taller one than yours on top of the wardrobe which saves our knees ! May we ask where you got the seat covers from as we are looking for exactly the same (a link would be brilliant 👍) - thanks

@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel Brilliant thanks - we do have some which we got from Temu but they are as thick as a pair of ladies tights !! They do protect a bit but look horrible ! - our fridge is 80L Thetford - we never hear it at night although last night we put it on ‘moon’ mode which seems to have used less battery. We have a cheap DC House200ah lifepo4 which we got from Amazon for under £400 and it’s brilliant. No fancy app but not really needed - I hear that Fogstar are bringing out a budget lifepo4 as well. We are like you really and don’t use the van every week so wasn’t prepared to spend a fortune on a battery that would just sit in the storeage yard!

Morning Mike & Kirsty, loves where you are, it never bothered us going somewhere local, we have on a couple of occasions stayed at Alpine grove it’s a mile away from our house when we lived in the uk, but you could be anywhere 🤣 we love our compressor fridge brilliant bit of kit, and did not miss our larger vans, we adapted so quickly to our Dethleffs globetrail for 3 weeks in the south of France, if you enjoyed the military vehicles where you are you have to get yourselves over here for the 6th June next year there are more jeeps, trucks, tanks, dispatch bikes and sidecar combinations, armoured cars etc than you can shake a stick at, I’m sure you will be amazed, do Portsmouth to Caen and your 30 minutes from the invasion beaches, one day guys hopefully 😊….

Nice D DAY tribute, the french also do the most amazing job looking after all the war memorials, they actually do the fallen proud, i was hoping when you opened the swap box little noel Edmunds was going to jump out 😂🤣😂, in our motorhome we have a 3 way fridge but i think the way to go is a compressor, i think they win hands down, 3 ways are in my opinion to temperamental in hot temperatures, as you've experienced, sun on the fridge side of the van and they dont cope well at all, the trick is to actually turn them down at that point, and not up, turning them up makes them work harder creating heat, anyway another enjoyable vlog keep them coming 👍.

hi Stephen yeah good point turning them down instead of up , makes sense , i think the compressors are great given sufficient enough solar and batteries and also no exterior vents which i forgot to mention ! Noels swap box 😂😂 , always kick myself for never thinking or coming up with the one liners at the time 😡 , as i think i’ve mentioned before normandy is the one we want to do mostly , staying all over that area , the time will come but just can’t yet .. thanks again for watching and commenting Mike & Kirsty 👍

Hi ya Mike and Kirsty. Great vlog. Brilliant D Day celebrations at Thetford. What great walks in the forests so relaxing. Fridge looks like a great investment. Loads of room in it. Think how many cans of beer you could get in there. Got my new tow car now so going to do some more Norfolk holidays in future, never know might bump into you. We went to Felixstowe remembrance day celebrations couple of years ago, just booked premier Inn for 4 nights this year to see it again, it's a great day. If you fancy going 10th of November. Thanks for a great vidio guys. Thumbs up thumped 👍 ....Pete....

Hi stephen i used it neat , as it comes in the container , i’m quite sure the shop ones are the same especially the spray on ones , seen them on amazon for £10 , feels strange to the touch , a very slippery kind of substance but does the job well , used it for years now , when you spray it on tar spots and leave it for a while you’ll start to see the black tar dissolve and run down the panel good gear no mixing required with the ones i’ve always used 👍

@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel Hi Mike. Yes the rear lounge is lovely, especially in the Uk when it’s raining and you can just chill out and it makes a change from just spinning the captains chairs round. Our van is fab but we’ve had a few problems with it, nothing serious though. Definitely well made and stylish. The Malibu’s are also very nice…but someone said the portholes look like black toilet lids - once you see it, you can’t un-see it. 😂🤣🤣
