Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- It's been a while coming, but oor new campervan has arrived. We picked it up from Brownhills Motorhomes @brownhillstv in Newark and we've come oot today to Loch Lomond to give you the full tour.
Reading some of the early comments I thought the bed set up was going to be awful, but it really isn't that bad. Complicated, but not difficult.
Enjoy your new van, it looks really impressive.
@@kevindevine7597 Thanks, actually the bed is a doddle now👍
Nice to see a properly informative video showing a van that's genuinely being used. Thank you.
I like that layout, that’s one of the most practical I’ve seen so far
That's what we thought, and still glad we went for this one👍
I am from the USA and your van is one of the best I have seen. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching all the way from the USA, we are glad that you like the van even though probably a lot smaller than most of the vans on your side of the pond.
Great to see Mike and Tricia and Kiera back again at full trottle with a beautiful new van. Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and best wishes for many wonderful trips in Daphne in 2024.
Thanks very much 👍🐾💕
Great to see the new van, I hope you have many enjoyable trips in It. Hope you have a good Christmas and all the best for 2024. Stay young. Thanks for sharing
Thanks mate, hopefully the van will help with the stay young thing👍🐾💕
Thanks for sharing. I just happened to want a review on this particular van and discovered you two. You present your lovely van and yourself very competently. I hope you enjoy the use of the van for many years.
@@jeremysutherland7867 thanks Jeremy, appreciate your feedback. We certainly intend to keep this van for many years so that we can have a lot of adventures in our retirement 👍🐾💕
Daphne's a beautiful new addition to the family. Thanks for giving us a tour and in such a beautiful setting! Have a wonderful, peaceful holiday and I look forward to the first adventure oot 'n' aboot :)
Thanks, we can't wait to give Daphne some real tests on the road👍🐾💕
Beautiful van in a beautiful location. We wish you many happy safe miles enjoying all that extra luxury. Happy Christmas to you both. We look forward to watching your travels. ❤🎄
Thanks Ken & Carol, the van will take a bit of getting used to but the extra space and comfort should mean more and longer trips👍💕🐾
A lovely van, thanks for showing us round! It's a beauty. Keira is so adorable! Merry Christmas both xx
Thanks so much. We missed Keira so much when we were in Australia and it's so good having her around again👍🐾💕
Stunning views and great tour of the fabulous new van 🚐🐾👍🏻😊
Thanks Sharon, it's a fab campsite right on the Loch and was perfect for filming the van apart from the guy cutting branches 👍🐾💕
What a lovely video and such a great van choice! Love the colour too. Fabulous!
Thanks Vanessa, glad you like the van and colour some say its like an amazon delivery van colour, but we like it, we definitely didn't want white. Vanessa would be a great name for a campervan channel😉👍🐾💕
Hello You Three - greetings from Poland
Ooh! - Daphne is beautiful. What a gorgeous van. Very well fitted out and spacious too.
A lovely video from the banks of Loch Lomond. Thanmks for the guided tour. I really hope you are very happy in your new mobile home. I wish you many happy and exciting travels in the future.
A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous 2024.
Thanks Michael for your kind words and your card too. So far we are very happy with Daphne, but the real test will be when we head off for a longer trip in the new year. All the very best to you and yours in 24👍🐾💕
Oooo how exciting - looking forward to watching - pleased to see you are home safely from Australia
Thanks, yep been back a few weeks now and feels good to be back in Scotland 👍🐾💕
Congratulations on your new van! I’m too old now for a campervan, but for many years, I enjoyed the motorhome life. This was a charming review, and brought back many happy memories for me, thank you.
Thanks Peter, sounds like you really enjoyed your time in the motorhome. Our first real trip in this van will be in a couple of weeks and we are so looking forward to it👍🐾💕
A van named after me, how thoughtful of you 😉 The van looks great, enjoy.

Love Daphne ❤. She is beautiful. Have lots of lovely happy travels in her x
Thanks, we will be heading off in Daphne in a couple of weeks, can't wait 👍🐾💕
Nice van. I picked up a new one similar a month ago, waited nearly 2 years for it. Same colour and layout as yours but a Autotrail v line 670s with the 9 speed auto.
Greetings from Germany. Nice to see you back on the road with your beautyfull new van. Keira is happy to have you back and she likes to have a lot more adventures with you😊.
Thanks, and we are so happy to have Keira with us again and can't wait to get oot n aboot in Daphne next year👍🐾💕
What a great tour of Daphne's cool options and comforts. Glad you are back on the road! From the SE of the US
Thanks Valerie, glad you like her, and yes can't wait for better weather, it's hardly stopped raining for the last 2 weeks. All the very best for Christmas 👍🐾💕
Beautiful van and I love the name Daphne. Enjoy all the new adventures that await you.
Thanks Yvonne, glad you like the van and her name. All the very best for Christmas 👍🐾💕
Have a very jolly Christmas and a wonderful 2024 full of exciting adventures.
Thanks Ken and all the very best to you and yours over the Christmas period 👍🐾💕
Good to see you two back home again after you rlong, lengthy trip. Good to see Kiera again. The campervan is gorgeous. I'm sure you are going to enjoy it and be very cozy and comfortable. Looking forward to seeing your video's on upcoming trips. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Take care.
Thanks so much for your kind words, we can't wait to get away in Daphne in the new year and give her a real road test. All the very best for the festive season 👍🐾💕
A lovely looking van and amazing you get so much in only 6m. Bed make up system looks good quality. Where do you keep your topper mattress, duvet and pillows? Congratulations both
Thanks, we will either leave the bed down or just have the bedding on one of the lounge seats, that's the compromise with not having a boot / garage space but we didn't want a climb in and out of bed.
Loved the video review. We’re off to the motorhome show in Birmingham in October. These big van conversions are on our radar for a purchase next year.
Cheers 🥂
@@peacefulrider the only thing about these shows is they are so busy you can't usually try things out in detail.
Oh I loved Luss. What a beautiful little town.
Yes it's a fab little place, we must go to see the faries next time👍🐾💕
Congratulations on your new van, I know you will find it much more comfortable/roomy. I love the color and layout, and could never travel with out a toilet. Enjoy, and I look forward to seeing your travels.
Thanks so much, we agree, it's just 1m longer than Maggie was, but it makes such a difference. All the best for Christmas 👍🐾💕
Also, you are able to stand and walk around. As we get older we realize that stretching is a must.
Absolutely, no more struggling with the pop top!
Wishing you Tricia and Keira good health and happiness in 2024. Love your new van and here’s to many happy adventures in it xx
Thanks so much Mary, attached the very best for the new year 👍🐾💕
Thanks so much Mary, attached the very best for the new year 👍🐾💕
I love “whiskey o clock” LOL
My favourite time of the day 🤣👍🐾💕
Great to see you home from Australia safe and sound. Wishing you both a Merry Xmas and a Guid New Year. Here’s to lots of lovely adventures in Daphne xx
Thanks Mary, we can't wait to get away for a proper holiday in Daphne 👍🐾💕
Looks lovely. You will enjoy it for years .
Thanks Jan, that's the plan and it will start for real end Jan or Feb👍🐾💕
Lovely van hope you enjoy
Thanks, we will be heading off soon and can't wait👍
Really looking forward to watching your future escapades in your new wheels!! 🤩
Hi Tony, hope you're well, thanks for watching and hope you have a great Christmas 👍💕🐾
Great to see you have arrived home safe and sound. Hope you had an enjoyable stay here in Australia. Amazing to see the difference in light. That view across Loch Lomond was so soft compared to the bright/harsh light we get here. Absolutely gorgeous! Now we can look forward to new travel docus coming up in 2024. Hope you "hae a braw Christmas and a prosperous and healthy 2024".
Thanks George, aye the sun is really low and we only get 8 hours of light at this time of the year but as you say it gives us such wonderful scenes over the lochs and hills. All the best for 24👍🐾💕
Great to see you back with the van, beautiful. Same layout as our Autotrail 636se. Looking forward to seeing your travels👍
Thanks, hopefully the layout will work well for us, still a wee van but just that bit more room👍🐾💕
Congrats on the new camper. I have ordered a new camper from Brownhills also, so it was nice to hear other people have had good experiences. I have ordered a Elddis Evolution CV80, it’s due to arrive in September 24, hoping it arrives earlier. It’s my first bought camper, I have only rented in the past. I’m nearing my retirement at 55 and I can’t wait to start to travel so I took the plunge at the camper show in Oct and purchased a van. I shall watch your channel for any new van tips. Happy travels.
Thanks Jude I'm sure that you will love travelling in your new campervan in your retirement. Ours was due in September this year and a couple of delays pushed it back to December but that wasn't too bad.
Great to see you back and Daphne looks FaB. Happy travels.
Thanks Fiona, glad you like our Daffers👍🐾💕
Love the new van the bed is no probat all really what’s 5mins when your retired well done both good luck 👍👍👍🏴🇬🇧🏴
Thanks, yep the bed is no bother and super comfy, we will likely leave it down most of the time👍🐾💕
First class assessment.
Thank you👍🐾💕
Fab van! Can’t wait to see your future videos of your trips in it. Merry Christmas you three x
Thanks you two, really appreciate your feedback and wishing you all the best for Christmas 👍🐾💕
Really loved the walk through. New van is gorgeous
Wishing you both a fabulous Crimbo and new year
Cheers Sam, all the best 👍🐾💕
Thanks so much and all the best to you guys too over Christmas 👍🐾💕
MARRY Christmas WITH A HAPPY NEW YEAR KEEP SMILLING
Thanks and we will! Merry Christmas 🎅 👍🐾💕
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year travels with Daphne.
Thanks and happy new year to you too. We will be heading off in Daphne in a few weeks, can't wait.
WOW! I love the new van. And what better place to show it off than Loch Lomond. I was in Luss years ago and absolutely loved the wee village. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos in 2024. Stay safe. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎄🎁🎉🎉
Thanks Beth, we were lucky to get a dry day at Luss because it's been raining solid before and after that one day we filmed. Wishing you a very happy Christmas 👍🐾💕
Nice one lots of wee duckets. Liked the 144 when we saw it at Todds. Nice to see that Luss is open this time of year.
We enjoyed your video of the 144 a couple of weeks back. It was cold at Luss but was one of the few dry days and that was the important thing.
Lovely little van which will seem so massive to you after Maggie. Hope you have millions of happy adventures
Thanks, you are right, it seems big to us, but will be small to a lot of you motorhome folk, maybe one day we will go bigger, who known. All the best over Christmas 👍🐾💕
What a gorgeous van! It's so nice to see you about ready to hit the road again.
Thanks Jan, we are so looking forward to getting away and trying her out on a longer trip👍🐾💕
Beautiful motor home. Love Daphne, so jealous ❤ lovely to see gorgeous Kiera again. X looking forward to your travels in Daphne. X
Thanks so much and hope you have a great Christmas 👍🐾💕
That looks fabulous, you are going to have so much fun and I look forward to following your adventures. Special kisses to Kiera from Rona the Gordon Setter xx
WOW!!! Gorgeous new van 😀and what a beautiful backdrop you have there ,sure will will have lots of great adventures in her ,look forward to seeing those ,have a very Happy Christmas and all the very best for 2024
Thanks Lynn, we can't wait to get away in Daphne next year. All the best for Christmas and the new year 👍🐾💕
Very Nice Van. The Bed Is Nice. A Lot Of Vans That Have That Bed Setup Use The Table As The Center Fill In. I Would Never Take That Bed Down. Over All, A Very Beautiful Van. I Saw A Bed I Liked. It Came Down From The Ceiling. I Loved It. Safe Travels
Thanks, we will probably leave the bed down. Those beds that come down from the ceiling....quite often they move about when you are on them. Happy New Year when it comes 👍🐾💕
Hi Mike, Trish and Kiera
Great to see you oot and about in Scotland again. 🏴❤️
Love Daphne, we are sure you'll have lots of adventures.
Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas 🎄 and have a very Merry New Year 🥂🍾 with lots of adventures in 24 🎉
Take care
Morgs Jo and Boo 🐕 ❤
Thanks you three, glad you like Daphne. Hope you have a great new year when it comes 👍🐾💕
Lovely van, good for you. Looking forward to more vids. Have a great Crimble.
Thanks, and all the best for Christmas and the new year 👍🐾💕
lovely van, like the name and thanks for the detailed tour. Hope you both enjoy your new van and create much joy in your travels and experiences to come. Was great to watch your Australian visit episodes. I moved from Scotland to Australia way back in 1990 and just love living here. All the best for the festive season and the year ahead.
Thanks Albert, you will be coming into summer now while we are battening down the hatches here in Scotland. We loved Australia and have made such fond memories of being there. All the best over the festivities 👍🐾💕
Looks a great van hope you have lots of enjoyable travels. Look forward to seeing your ongoing journeys
Thanks, we will be heading off at end Jan so look out for our next ones👍🐾💕
Thank you for the tour of the lovely Daphne, she looks very comfortable and all set for new adventures. I drove past Luss on Saturday on my way back to Northumberland from Kintyre.
Hi Sue, that must have been quite a drive for you, hope you had a great time away in Kintyre. Daphne sure is comfy, so we should be able to go away for longer breaks 👍🐾💕
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot .. fortunately we took it in turns so it wasn't too bad, last year was a bit hairy going over Rest and be thankful in the snow and ice. We had a lovely time thank you. Wishing you both and Keira of course a very merry Christmas and new year .Sue
@@slimmingbedlington1200 glad that you got home safe and sound👍🐾
Love the new campervan! Looking forward to all your great adventures in 2024! Brent and I are wishing you, Tricia and Kiera a very Merry Christmas and Happy Travels for the New Year! It's 3 degrees C here in Stratford, PEI, Canada with the sun shining brightly with just a dusting of snow. Hoping for great weather on your next campervan trip with no rain. Enjoy your Christmas and New Year! See you in 2024.
Thanks both that's kind of you to say so. 3 degrees is really cold, we have 4 degrees🤣. It has hardly stopped raining here for 2 weeks so hope you are right. All the very best for Christmas 👍🐾💕
beautiful new van guys, looking forward to more of your vlogs. 😊👍🏻
Thanks you two, appreciate your feedback 👍 and all the best for Christmas 🐾💕
and same to you guys 😊@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot
Looks like a lovely van.......I bought mine from Sarah at Brownhills earlier this year.......fantastic customer service experience from sales to service...... Happy travels
Thanks, that's good to know it wasn't just us who thought the whole experience was excellent 👍🐾💕
@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot definitely not guys....I'm.back there in Feb for warranty and service work.,.
Nice van - thanks for the tour. 👍I'm sure you will have lots of new adventures and will enjoying using it. 😊
Thanks Nigel, hope you ate right, and we are looking forward to finding out👍🐾💕
Good to see you back in full travel mode and lots off videos please
Thanks good to be back with avan, roll on next year👍
Thanks for showing us around Daphne, she looks terrific & what an astounding backdrop! I hope you have many wonderful adventures with her. Also wishing you a very merry Christmas and Happy new year.
Cheers Timmy and all the best for you and yours over Christmas 👍🐾💕
Great van guys
Cheers mate, glad you like it👍🐾💕
love the van , merry christmas to you both x
Thanks Shirley and a very merry Christmas to you and yours 👍🐾💕
We like the front lounge set up with a bed at the back. It allows the dogs to go to bed and leave us to chat, play cards, etc. I think I’d probably leave the bed set up for most of the time.
Yep, that's what we liked about it too👍
Nice to see you back and love the new van
Thanks Robert, glad you like it 👍💕🐾
What a lovely camper, I hope you have many adventures in her!
Thanks, we just hope that she lives up to our expectations, all the very best 👍🐾💕
Brilliant wee watch Tricia, all the best, Aly
Hi Aly. Thanks loving the new van more space to move allow for longer trips. Hope you're doing good. Tricia x
Love the new van guys. Looking forward to seeing you on many new adventures.
Cheers mate, we should be heading off end Jan👍
Great tour - great van......that layout is absolutely perfect for a 6m vehicle...lovely lounge space at the back of the van....bed setup is a minute or so's worth of work so no big deal - though I'd probably use it as 2 singles rather than a double....looking forward to following you on your travels. Happy 2024 👍
Thanks Arthur, it's not possible to use the back as 2 singles so we will probably leave the bed in situ and use the front lounge during the day 👍
Hi both of you, the new van is lovely, I have a 2020 select 144, don’t feel too bad about the catch, on the first day I brought ours home I ripped the front off a draw, wifee was not best pleased 😊 I put a micro wave where the gas grill is, as we found we weren’t using the grill, under my passenger seat the jack was in a massive plastic case, I removed the case and stored the jack under the rear seats, this made a bit more storage up front. We also found that we left the bed permanently set up, see what suits you both. Keep up the vids please , you, you tubers give us inspiration on where to go next. 😊😊Thanks Lee & Vikki.
Thanks, yep there's always the odd breakage, not the end of the world. There is no jack or spare wheel with the van, they just give you that foam spray stuff to use if you get a puncture, and I hate that, but that's what you get now. Hope you have a great Christmas 👍🐾💕
The van has a lot of well thought-out and useful features, but the bed setup is way more complicated than it needed to be - at least compared to the many other vans I’ve seen on UA-cam. Can’t imagine doing this every night.
We will likely be keeping the bed down Bill and just using the front lounge and I think that's going to be the best for us. All the best for Christmas 👍🐾💕
Love your van! Loved your video. Thanks for posting. USA
Thanks for watching all the way from accross the pond.👍🐾💕
I loved your adventures in the wee Broon van but I'm sure you'll have even better times in the new one. Love the new van. The layout looks amazing. loads more space and the bathroom should give you so much independence, particularly when you venture overseas. I really look forward to your travels. Thanks for your videos.
Appreciate that Martin, thanks. The new van will definitely enable us to go further and stay away longer👍💕🐾
Great choice of van. Love the name Daphne.
I thought you'd like the name, close to home😉
Nice one,look forward to your new adventures.
Thanks, new van new adventures 👍🐾💕
Your new van is fab, wishing you many happy trips away in her. X
Thanks Lisa, so kind of you to say so 👍🐾💕
Lovely van thank you for the tour. I hope you have many happy trips in it.
Thanks, that's so nice of you to say so. Hope you have a great Christmas and New year 👍🐾💕
First time watch enjoyed it guys
Thanks Steve, glad you found us.
So you’re on the post holiday holiday to get over the previous holiday!
Great looking van, plenty of travelling and videos to come.
Thanks, yes and now into the Christmas holidays before the New Year break then it will be proper holiday season again 🤣👍🐾💕
Happy new year from Aberdeen, Tricia and Mike, looking forward to you bringing us along on your adventures in the new van. Cheers, 🥃
Thanks Stuart, and all the best to you in '24👍🐾🥃
What a lovely surprise and a lovely buy. Merry Christmas and enjoy the Carera!
Thanks Brenda and Merry Christmas 👍🐾💕
Love your channel!
Cheets Ralph, appreciate that👍🐾💕
Have a lovely Christmas. Daphne looks amazing. Hope you’re all well and thanks for the catch up xx
Thanks, glad you like Daphne, we are so looking forward to getting away in the new year. All the very best for Christmas 👍🐾💕
Van looks amazing 😊 I Hope you both enjoy your life adventures wherever you end up ❤
Thanks Sandra, new year, new van, new adventures. Happy New Year to you when it comes 👍🐾💕
Do like the fridge height saves all that bending down to find stuff. Not keen on making the bed up every night so will stick to our French bed designed van made by Hymer but yes yours will be great for a good nights sleep. Have fun thats the name of the motorhoming game we all play. Loved the campsite view.😊
Thanks John, the high fridge definitely appealed to us when we saw it. We will likely keep the bed in situ. Heading off next week on a tour to use the van for real👍🐾
Great to see you guys back in a van, looking forward to seeing your adventures next year....Great van by the way.
Cheers John, great to have a van again, always best to have one when you are a campervan channel 🤣👍🐾
That’s a really nice looking van, fabulous site too, will you be coming down for any of the Brownhills events, there a great weekend. Looking forward to adventures in your new van. Keep the great videos coming.👍
Probably yes, we just missed a Christmas gathering on 9th so we will definitely go to one of their events in the future 👍🐾💕
hope you have a some good trips planned in the new van for 2024!
Thanks, yes we sure do and heading off to France and maybe Spain too at the end of January. Hope you manage to get away yourself for a break👍🐾💕
Glad I came across your channel Beautiful Van I love the name. I will be looking out for more videos Happy New Year to you both . The scenery is breath taking .
Thanks Kath, glad you found us, there will be plenty of videos coming in February 👍🐾💕
That 9 speed auto box is a delight.
We love it already, it drives like a dream.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot My missus loved it in the van we hired in 2022. So easy to drive.
Looks a lovely van and we have a motorhome at the moment. Still hankering for a van and will show the video to the boss! Have a great Christmas
Hope the boss likes Daphne. The boss here was the main driving force for picking this particular van😉👍🐾💕
What a great van. I love the name and that Daphne is Maggie’s big sister. We know a couple who’ve just bought the 132 after owning an Autosleeper Warwick for a few years and they love it. I’ve had a look around it and it’s lovely quality. I can’t wait to see where she takes you. Have a merry Christmas and safe travels in 2024.
Thanks Sylvia, we also liked the 132 and agree the quality is top notch. All the best for Christmas and the new year 👍🐾💕
Lovely van. Super layout. Wishing you Health & Happiness for your future adventures. Merry Christmas!!
Thanks Brian, and all the very best to you and yours in the new year 👍💕🐾
Wow that bed arrangement is a real finger trapper OUCH
Time will tell on that one but don't think it will be a problem 😕
