Hi….thanks for the comment. The drivers seat doesn’t swivel, sadly (although in reality this isn’t a real issue for us). We’ve never used it as single beds, only a double so not sure.

Thanks! Yes, we love Kingston Lacy 🙂

Hi there…..Yeah, pretty much. Although for overnight stays we pretty much keep it to early Spring (March), Summer and Autumn. We do day trips in the van all year round though (inc Winter) and we did spend a few days in the van for New Years a couple of years ago. 🙂

Hi there…..thank you for commenting. So sorry to hear about you losing Bryan. It’s good you’ve been able to carry on using your campervan and that it’s making you happy. Thank you for subscribing, I hope you enjoy all the other videos we’ve uploaded so far and we hope you enjoy our future videos too! All the best D&J x

Exactly! Thanks for the comment 🙂

Haha…..sorry for making you feel hungry! Glad you’re enjoying our videos. We’re glad you’ve “got” the vibe we’re going for. Thanks for travelling with us! 👍🏻🙂

Thanks for comment! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

Hi thanks for the comment/questions. The Puriclean is specifically designed for caravan/motorhome/campervan tanks. Although our sink isn’t steel, we’re guessing it wouldn’t affect it even if it was. We do drink water from the tap, via our filer water bottles as well as using water purification tablets. 🙂

Hi…thanks for the comment. Yeah, we probably wont get a pitch right next to barriers again (but for just 2 nights we were ok with it). Loving the name of your Harmony (Audrey)! 🙂

Hi….Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video. No, we’re not new to camping at all (as you can see from our other videos). Like you we also travel with a 10 metre cable and a 30 metre one - which was why we had one long enough for this particular campsite. Out of all the C&C (and C&M) club sites we’ve been too, this is the first one where we’ve seen 1 ELH point for 4-5 pitches. So we thought it worth mentioning to give a heads up to people who aren’t as prepared as we are. Like you say though we had beautiful weather, especially for the end of October! 🙂

Glad you liked the video, pleased we’re not the only ones who are nosey 😂 With regards to my job (Dave here 👋), I do teach for a living but what I teach….is also the other part of what I do for a living (and it’s not IT 😎).

@@theealesadventures We think Dave is a driving instructor 😁

@tinawelch3286 Nope! 🙂

@@theealesadventures OMG we were sure Dave was a driving instructor. Best get our thinking head back on 🤔😁

@tinawelch3286 😬

Thanks guys! Interested to know about the Silent Woman (is it anything to do with Alice Lisle, I wonder?)

@@theealesadventures The story was she whoever she was used to grass on the local smugglers so they cut her Tonge out!😝😆

Ooohhhhh…….very grizzly!

Thanks! Congrats on getting your 2005 Symbol! Please do check out all our other videos too! All the best 🙂

That’s awesome to hear, thank you! We’re away in Basil right now actually, for a cheeky 2 nights away 🙂. I think you’ll be happy with a Symbol. Let us know if/when you get one! 👍🏻🙂

Yes I will if I can find one as good as Basil ! Enjoy your break

@vickiphillips4876 Thanks!

Thanks guys! Yes, it was a “blink and you’ll miss it” summer wasn’t it!

Thank you for your comment and kind words, glad you enjoyed the video! 🙂

Hi….Here’s the ones we use camperwarehouse.co.uk/product/internal-blind-boxer-ducato-1994-to-2001/

It’s a 2.0 petrol….but it is still a little sluggish compared to a modern car (it is a 24 van, after all). I think the 1.9 is the diesel version.

Thank you for your update.

@pennyyoung6684 You’re welcome 🙂

Hi…..Yeah, definitely a bucket list destination! 🙂

Hi….Yes, we had a fantastic time! The campsite was the Bowness-On-Windermere Camping & Caravan Club Site. It was just a 5-10min walk from the site to the lake and cruise boats and a 10-15 min walk to the town centre. Perfectly positioned. Friendly staff too 🙂

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Hi…If you’re talking about our EcoFlo, we love it. It has 2 regular plug sockets (enough power to run our toaster, Nespresso coffee machine and milk frother) and USB A and USB C fast charging. We’ve also got portable solar panels to charge it. Maybe well done a video on it sometime 🤔

Can I ask which model it is please 😊

@SimonTemple-f4i Hi….we did mention the model of the van in the video 🙂

Sorry I mean the model and size of the power station 😊

@SimonTemple-f4i Ahh……sorry! It’s the EcoFlow Delta Mini (1400W output) 🙂

Hi, thanks for the comment. We’ve never actually measured them ourselves, but we’ve just done a quick Google search and the near side single is 6’1” x 4’9” and the offside single is 5’8” x 2’3.5”. Hope that helps 🙂

Hi….Thanks for so much for subscribing! Regarding your MPG question, I’m guessing a diesel engine would be more economical over longer journeys. Ours is a petrol engine, but we try and drive as economically as possible. Maybe someone else might have a better answer in the comments……

You’re welcome 😊

Thanks for the comment Paul! Glad you enjoyed the vid 🙂

Thank you! 🙂

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Hi….Good question. Ours actually can run on both (although we always use e10). I think the cut off for e5 was Sept 2000 and Basil was built in Jan 2000. With regards to MPG, we’re not too sure. It obviously depends on how loaded we are. For long journeys where we are fully loaded we pump our tyres up to 55 all round and we try and drive economically (Basil isn’t built for speed anyway!).

Hi…thanks for the comment. I know, we really should look to join the Autosleepers Owners Club. It would be fun to go to one of those rallies! 🙂

Hi….Yes, we thought it was a lovely site too. That does sound expensive for 2 glasses of wine! The bottle of red we bought from the bar was £15

Hi….Thanks for the comment. That’s good to know. We were very impressed with Gloucester services 👍🏻🙂

We loved our short (but sweet) stay in Shropshire. We would love to go back and do it justice one day ❤️🙂

And mine 👍 Shrewsbury, born and bred😁

@grange247 👍🏻

Hi….glad you enjoyed the video. We really enjoyed the Bath Chew Valley campsite. Have you walked around that lake yet? 🙂

Hiya! Glad to hear you’re getting out and about in Fudge…..What trip do you have planned?

We are off to Norfolk to a festival of music at deepdale campsite definitely could recommend the campsite to you guys it's beautifully peaceful

@mk1photography62 Wow…that sounds amazing! Have fun 👍🏻

@@theealesadventures Thanks I will send you details of the event after we have been

👍🏻

Hi! Glad you liked the video…..Nope, neither of us are Copper’s 😂

Hi…Thanks for your comment! I’m glad you found this particular video helpful. 🙂

Awesome!! We hope you have lots of adventures in your camper...Have you named your van yet? We’ve just got back (literally today) from two weeks away in Basil, so we’ll be editing all our footage into 3/4 videos soon. Stay tuned!! 🙂

😂😂😂

Wow, you’re brave driving him at night for the first time! I’m sure you’ll have lots of adventures with him 🙂

@@theealesadventures lol thankyou . I think we will be driving him in the day mostly .the light on the dash is very dim .😊

Hahaha…..thanks for the comment 🙂😎

Hi….When you say “the unit” did you mean our EcoFlow?

Hi….Thank you for your kind comment. We’re glad you enjoyed this video and we hope you enjoy watching the others. How exciting for you to view to campervans this weekend! Which ever campervan you choose, you’ll be able to start having your own adventures! All the best 🙂

Hi thanks for the comment…..Sorry in the delayed reply. We thought we had posted a reply (but obviously hadn’t!). I’d look for any obvious rust under the wheel arches and check the MOT history online. How did your viewing of ‘Rambo’ go?

​@@theealesadventuresthe viewing of the talbot was not to good .the inside of the wheel arches wgere crumbling and black smoke was coming out of the exhaust ( petrol ) , so we said no to that .we. bought a vw LT ( 1989) called Douglas😊 😊😊😊

Congrats on your new camper! Douglas is a great name 👍🏻 You definitely made the right decision avoiding that Talbot! 🙂

Hi….thanks for the comment. Yeah, we really should join that group! Sounds like a lot of fun and would be cool to hang out with fellow Autosleeper owners 👍🏻

Hi…thanks for the comment. We’re glad you enjoyed the video. Here’s the Amazon link to the edging we used for the bathroom window t.ly/JGrMM 🙂

@@theealesadventures thank you so much 👍🏼 x

No problem 🙂

Hi…thanks for the comment we’re glad you found the video informative. To answer your question, twice. After leaving the Puriclean to do its work (a couple hours, but over night is best) drain it through then fill with clean water and flush twice. Perhaps we’ll do another video sometime to cover the curtains and also covering how we use the van with/without EHU. 🙂

Hi….thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for subscribing. The TV cable we bought in Argos, whilst we away somewhere. We got 10 meters (because the 15 meters wasn’t in stock, but 10 meters has been fine). It’s listed on the Argos website as ‘10m Aerial Extension Lead - White’
