Suspension Upgrade - Stage 1 of up-plating our motorhome
We undertake a major upgrade to the motorhome finally taking the plunge ahead of up-plating the vehicle. We currently have a maximum weight allowance of 3850 kg and following advice from SVTech we have replaced the front spings to comfort springs and added air suspension at the rear. We used a company called Motorhome Supplies Ltd based in Wakefield.
Before the upgrade we stopped of at Stanford Hall caravan park near Lutterworth where we met with friends and whilst the work was being undertaken we borrowed a car from Motorhome Supplies Ltd which enabled us to explore the city of Wakefield and a nearby country park; Anglers Countrypark.
This is episode 132 in a series of videos cataloguing our post retirement adventures. We are Kath and Sue and we are travelling the UK with our two dogs Archie and Fudge and living full time in our Burstner Elegance Motorhome. We have given up conventional living for a new van-life, enjoying the freedom of the road and plenty of time outdoors taking in the beautiful countryside the UK has to offer.

    Two votes for a roll although sometimes a white ‘roll’ like that would be called a bap (not of it was seeded/brown bread etc!) and one vote for a cob or a bread cake from our Yorkshire friend!!!! What a lot of work you’ve had done on the van and just after all that work on the house!! I think you need a holiday now?! I don’t know what up plating up means but hope you have a comfier ride now. We squirmed hitting pot holes on Skye (numerous)! ❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️ to Archie managing in the heat and loving seeing both him & Fudge❤️ in the water together …..did she pinch his stick though???!!!!!

    Your query on the bridge studs .that is a bridge tie. The plate you can see is attached to the end of a metal rod passing through the structure(usually with a similar bridge tie at the far side of the structure. These are normally only installed after construction and intended to correct/stop any subsequently observed bulging/movement of a brick structure.

    What a lovely video, you’ve given us some great ideas of places to visit in the area. Thank you. I think it’s understandable to have emotional ties to a property when you’ve so many memories there. Also, It doesn’t seem to matter how much our son loves travelling/moving he too seems to find comfort in having us at the ‘family home’…..(he didn’t even grow up where we are now but as we’ve been here over 20 years it still is an important place for us all including him!). You invest time and energy into making a home too so accepting it’s no longer the place to be is a journey in itself I think. Our garden is especially important to us so thoughts of moving are really tough although intellectually I think we might be better somewhere smaller (having just had an extended trip in our van it makes you realise how little space is really needed too!) I hope you’re being kind to yourself as you make this decisive step and allow yourself time to adjust. I agree that home is where your heart is and with the people and animals you love so in time this feeling of transition will reduce I’m sure. Will you be able to keep your car somewhere I wonder? Undoubtedly useful at times! Good luck with all the sorting you must be going through. Just the thought of doing that makes us feel stressed and in need of a trip in the van!! Love to you all,👍👍👍🚐🚐🐶🐶🐶☀️

Speaking to Dan was a big thing as he was more practical and told me it was more likely we’d need him rather than the other way around. He will take the car to his new place and we can use it whenever we are down south so no different really. The car was Sue’s and it’s 18years old now so we are surprised every year it gets through its MOT. Keep making the most of your van and all the fun it can bring. 🤗🙏🚌❤️

      @@MotorhomeMums The car is doing well! it’s great Dan has space so you can keep hold of it! Hope it’s a happy time of transition for him too! I absolutely agree re the van! When we had our business and initially ran it from home so when we got a van it became such a sanctuary as the only place we could escape and the space was just our own. It’s continued to feel like that and although we’re retired having the stressors of caring for mum with dementia I find it’s the space I switch off in as we’re usually in beautiful countryside where I really breathe and migraines diminish!. Being in it f/t I’m sure there are still plenty of mundane jobs to get done but somehow things don’t seem so arduous. Then of course there’s Sasha who sees time in the van as time for us to be completely and totally devoted to her: her enjoyment, her walks, her tummy tickles, her extra early morning ‘essential’ wee trips (that somehow seem so much more essential the closer we are to a beach!)🥰🤣🤣🤣🐶☀️🚐

    Wow that water was so clear and very inviting for a dip. Some lovely walks 👍

      I was soooo tempted to take a dip. A few years younger and I would have definitely been straight in. 😂😂🚌❤️

    Sniff test is important. The trick is to put the shirt aside for a day or two then wear it again. People don’t notice that you’ve worn it twice. As a campervanner if I’m on a big trip I have to do this. Don’t care as I’ll never see those people again. I’d love to go full time on the road but my daughter lives with me and works from home. She also has her own camper. I think you’ve made the right decision now that Dans got his own place. Sorry if I’ve dripped on a bit. Best wishes to you all. ♥️
