Thank you, that's very kind of you to say amd thank you for sticking with us. 😁. I didn't realise it, but it had been 4 years last week that we started the Channel.

Lol, i am not sure. To be honest, it was the Heavey Duty one. You can get the complete Jockey Wheel assembly from Kartt, which is great as there is no unwinding or lowering of the wheel while you travel.

Hi Steve, it performs really well. It's much better than the one supplied with the Caravan, and I have used a Pneumatic one in the past, which was useless. I have been very happy with it. .

@paulhunt1836 Thank You Paul 😁

@@ClaireKirby-o5x Small World. Say hi if you see us.

Have you been here long. We arrived last Friday and are heading home tomorrow.

@@CaravanEscapades101 we were there for 3 nights, now it’s beautiful and sunny we are back at home! But we are going to go back there in the summer as so much to see and do and only 50mins away from home . P.s a bit rocky and rolly New Year’s Eve in the caravan!!

it is a lovely site. yes lovely day today and we spent it at Corfe Castle which was great and very enjoyable. yes, it was very windy NYE.

@nicolataylor We are planning on going later, all being well.

@CaravanEscapades101 do. It's a basic pub but do really nice food and a good pint. Thought about popping by ro say hello to you, but reckoned you dont want random strangers showing up. It's down to you that a few years ago, I bought our Kampa Dometic Grande 390, air awning and extension; after seeing your video about it. We love it, so thanks for that. Enjoy your stay.

@nicolataylor Hi, nice one. We have booked into the pub for a meal at 5pm. You are welcome to come and say hi. I am really glad that one of our vligs was of use to you. It makes what we do worthwhile. 😁

@CaravanEscapades101 definately worthwhile. I've used so many of your tips and tricks in recent years. Glad you get to go to The Silent Woman. There's quite an interesting g story of why it's named such. Can't remember, but I think they have the history somewhere in the pub. Their chips are pretty good too.

Thats very kind of you but i dont want to intrude on your holiday..enjoy your meal at The Silent Woman. Let me know what you think of it. ​@CaravanEscapades101

We will take a look at Birchwood next time we are down in Dorset 😁

@SusiB13 The wind has settled down here now, but the rain has replaced it. We are taking refuge at the end of Bournmouth Pier. 🌧

@trytellingthetruth.2068 lol thank you very much. We have a small UA-cam channel where I share our adventures 😁

@kenperrin8582 Thank you and to you to. 😁

@raygeary1698 Hi, no, they don't. However, the design may have changed now as I have had it for about 4 years

Thank you, and no problem at all. I am glad I could help. I just can't justify the difference in the cost of the tunnel to the Ferry. to me, the difference is th3 cost of the fuel to the south and back. I get the convince of the tunnel but not at the cost.inhave heard of people getting good prices, but I have never managed it. have a great holiday

Thank you for the Tip. I have just used some Plumbers weld and will have to see how that holds up. I think there is a Crack in the Threads on the Valve it will stay strong enough for about 6 to 8 hours but then needs air adding, Lets see how we get on while away. Good Guess on the Upgrade but you will have to wait and see :-). Have a great Christmas to.

You To Colin & Family 🎄

Thank you for your Kind Words, We keep talking about taking the Van to Scotland but Just haven't done it yet, We must make it a Priority. Hopefully we can get out more this year as well. Oh and its Not Wifi that I am upgrading 🙂. Have a great Christmas & New Year

😁- You Will have to wait and see

@@CaravanEscapades101 if it is e&p double check the weight of it I was told it only added about 25kg after the old ones are removed luckily my caravan is up plated and could take the extra

@CaravanningwiththeMrs I do have one of those temporary repair foam things that you squirt in the tyre. I have heard some horror stories about them, though. This kit was only £25 and can be used multiple times. The full carpets do make a big difference. Nice one on getting an offcut sorted for your caravan. Happy Camping 😁

@SteveAshford-p3k I did check it, and it is close. They are being changed this week.

Yes it has taken an age too get shifted and the Wife doesn't understand how bad it has been 🤣. Thanks for your comments, its been a great repair kit, Worked a treat on both the Mercedes and now the Tesla, Agree I have already started to get quotes for a new set of boots. Thanks again for your support. James

Thanks. I appreciate that, I will take a look. do they come to you to do it.

It is very near the limits and I will be getting a full set of boots fitted this week, 😀

Hi I got it from Habitat years ago, they still do them, I love it, its not cheep mind. www.habitat.co.uk/product/3156535

Even Second hand on Ebay they are not cheep www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135098021298?_skw=flappy+clock&itmmeta=01JFA4E1DQV98HZ4HQQ56E49KD&hash=item1f747835b2:g:h6cAAOSwdu1mZvGC&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKluQj9iTUfCoLQobQbgfevSWD9mlitUhOWAMy%2F3o0hv31ZC2orVT9qRW2NqaVpaD1h76Uf4F3Y15eZrVOX02vE8kb0qdDCANzJcx1Yv9W%2FMMIqz%2B3QhY%2BprHY%2FJn4T75gl3e9d%2BVLFQzMceT%2F1uOCWxqoKBO64bKTgI884R9IT3eWElXqJJ5vsFLJmlsYLhGVaIjKiPa0Zpa9O82RHwdEehvQc2vdGkMmq627CAdh3EgJ7CfzrO8EwgufpKZb2aFJ%2BWr67rzxnDm57W7qlYbLiZ%7Ctkp%3ABFBM_Ja4xPpk

Lol the Tesla is the same to be honest, I am old school and carry a simple Jack with me

Thanks for sharing your thoughts - safety is always the top priority when it comes to tyres! The DIY repair kit I used is a temporary fix designed to get you safely back on the road in the event of an unexpected puncture, especially when help isn’t immediately available. It’s a popular option among caravaners, overlanders, and drivers who value self-sufficiency. For comparison: A professional tyre repair at a tyre centre in the UK typically costs between £20-£30, depending on location and service provider. The DIY kit I used cost around £15-£25 and contains multiple plugs, meaning it can repair several tyres. However, it’s worth noting that while the DIY kits can provide a strong and reliable seal, they are often seen as a temporary solution. Most tyre centres use professional patch repairs (combining an internal patch and plug) that are considered a permanent fix and meet British Standards (BS AU 159). I completely agree that any repaired tyre should be checked and, if necessary, re-assessed by a professional to ensure long-term safety. DIY kits are a great tool for emergencies, but they’re not a replacement for professional inspections. Appreciate your concern and feedback - it’s always great to have a discussion about road safety!

Thank you, it has held our really well, both on the Mercedes and the Tesla, I find I have to give it a couple of miles drive for it to seal properly straight after the repair, but yes its holding strong.

We are off to Dorset for a week, we are really looking forward to it

Thanks Good Point, Its holding well, I have done, 300 + miles on the repair and its holding strong.

That does sound like you have an ex display model, I have to be honest, we have been using it for over 3 years now, No problems with it and no broken flap. The only down side is with constant use in hot weather the bottom does fill with water even with removing the drain plug.

@roydearne9114 Unfortunately not, you have to take them for exchange like a traditional bottle. The advantage, however, is the weight compared to traditional bottles. I have to say that since filming this vlog I have now swapped to SafeFill bottles, which you can get refilled. I did another vlog on the Safefill.

That's a very good point and thanks for sharing

I use it all the time, Not just in the Caravan but whenever I am traveling for work as well, It hasn't let me down, 🙂
