Yet another magical journey with you both. From Claire nearly breaking the drinks machine, Andrew catching his thumb in the door, bum wipes, Pablo enjoying his new scenery, Claire’s kind welcome plaque to a habitosis free motor home 😂😂😂 Can’t wait for your new adventure in St Christopher of Atlantis II Good Luck and happy travels
Hi Guys. Love your channel. We too hate rattles and have sorted out most with our third MH. Use padded pillow slips to wrap your oven grids and pans inside the oven. Also wrap the microwave plate. Use perforated matting for pots, ceramics and even wrap cutlery as you travel. Make pouches for mugs and glasses. Use soft boxes for storage from IKEA also small clips to stop movement. Finally buy felt pads and fix to drawer backs and doors as they too rattle against frames.
Hello. Thank you for watching and we are delighted you like our channel Some great advice, we definitely need to sort pouches out for glasses We hope to bump into you guys on the road 🚐
Congratulations on getting your motorhome. Pablo was so good watching Claire packing away the gear. I hope you have many enjoyable adventures. I'm off to the dealership very soon for our motorhome habitation check & first two year service so expecting a hefty bill.
Habitousis 😂 seriously though well done on making your first purchase. I know nothing about the brand other than they are Spanish and honestly have never come across an owner of the brand so offer no advice from experience. Regards the chasis it is well documented on keeping an eye on the electrics air bag / battery starting issues as you already mentioned don't abuse the clutch or the brakes and check levels and tyre pressures regularly. Don't advise long term talc usage. That sign at the end just creased me up. Just love you guys hamming it up and bringing a fresh view to the motorhome Community. Look forward to your travels. Oh and just watched as a newbie to your channel your yodelling in Switzerland vlog, so so funny. Love it.😅
Congratulations on the MH! Love your videos. We caravan, tip: wrap the grill and oven pan in tea towels which you will need anyway, weigh nowt and stops them rattling about in the cooker. Another payload tip, If you use Blue and pink loo chemicals, Elsan do small bottles of concentrated. Enjoy!
There’s never a reason to feel embarrassed at all . Just because you don’t have the latest newest campaign van ,car ,house or clothing you shouldn’t be or feel embarrassed . Principals ,manners , kindness ,love ,compassion are all far more worthy possessions to have. I’ve met many man6 people who have had everything new ,flashy and the most recent designs but have no relevant values which mean more than anything you have which in my opinion renders everything else worthless. You nice people and I can see this in your behaviour and ways which are consistent Good luck with your lovely new camper well done 👌🤩🤩😁😁
Best one yet.... Habitosis.... I couldn't stop laughing.... Great to see you have finally got one. Hope to see you on the road... Enjoy guys & keep them coming, with a great sense of humor & filled with laughs....
Ha ha, i just wet myself ....... Where do you get your ideas from? So inventive and funny. You may have different personalities but your togetherness is unique 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
I love you two - great sense of humour and a lovely couple - can’t believe the morons who left nasty comments - sad people with sad lives - best of luck and much love from a fellow motorhome owner
@@Stchristopherofatlantis that will be easy as I wave at every motorhome - you will find that other motorhomes will wave but very rarely do the VW camper vans - they think they are special
exciting times guys, i remember that feeling just a few short months ago... I can't wait to see all the adventures you are going to have...get loads of tea towels and wrap all your cups, pans, grill pans etc... no more rattles...
🤣 I wondered where it was heading! I did laugh at that ending, you daft pair. 🤪 Loving the new home from home. Looking forward to seeing your adventures. Happy travels! 🚌
A good thing for you to do is fuel up the van and fill the water tank then get the van weighed. That will give you what weight you have to play with. You can also get the van weight changed to a higher weight as long as the chassis and suspension are rated for it and you have the licence (C1) category to drive.
Hi guys and many congrats on your new van. Coincidentally, my wife and I just picked up our new motorhome two days ago, so we understand your excitement! I'm a payload obsessed to and just like Claire, my wife is fairly free and easy with loading up our MH, too. We live in Germany and maybe one day our paths will cross! Keep up the excellent videos.....they are a lot of fun! So happy that you survived the Habitosis check and with those sensitive wipes and talc, I'm sure your colon will continue to smell dreamy and fresh!!!!
Hi. Thank you so very much! Yes yes let’s hope our paths cross 🚐 We loved Germany when we drove over and will definitely be returning Wish you well and don’t get habitosis 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for another great video , I’m from sunny Sheffield so after living in even sunnier Ireland I love to hear your guys accents , look after yourselfs
Congrats on the MH, I hate rattles too. So if I give you ONE tip for rattles its wrap it, put it on it etc, non slip mat but the soft stuff with holes in. You can get it in beige to match the work top, and 1st Job put a piece over the glass cooker lid & leave it there all the time, (unless cooking obviously, someone will moan!!) Something WILL fall out of the cupboard above after traveling, The mat saved our glass more than once!! Enjoy your travels.
Oh yeah. Never even thought of something dropping out into the glass. Excellent advice. I will get some. Thank you for watching and have a fab weekend 👋
Could give loads more (poss unwanted) advice but don't want to come over as a now it all, cos I don't, but been MHing for years, but if you want any tips just ask. :)
Great banter between you two. Congratulations on St Christopher of Atlantis II. Hope we meet on your travels. Can the chassis not be uprated or is that not a possibility with the C1 license?
Excited for you both, love the way you build to the punchline and stop worrying about the payload. It'll sort itself.😮 Noticed there's no ferret hatch, where you from, again?
First time watching your vlogs. Really enjoyed it. Congratulations on your purchase. Love your sense of humour and great driving Claire. We are about to purchase a new van and I’m really nervous about the cost and also about driving it so your video is reassuring. My husband can’t drive it because he has MS.
Hi. Welcome to our channel and glad you enjoyed. I was slightly nervous at first but got used to it, this van is 6m so as soon as I got my head around it I was fine. I encourage you to take your time and try!! We hope to bump into you and your lovely van on a site soon 🚐
Fully load your motorhome as if your going on a main holiday including fuel, clothes, water etc. take it to your local weigh bridge and see if your over or under on your payload - one litre of fluid = one kilo Happy motorhoming 😊 great vlog
😂😂😂😂 I was waiting for the punchline from the beginning…. And you didn’t disappoint. You are a victim of your comic success - we spend the whole video waiting for the end!! CONGRATULATIONS 🥂 love you guys. So chuffed for you both. Ps Paul is exactly the same as Andy!! I can’t break wind without a “just watch that” “be careful” “just go easy with that” “mind yourself” drives me potty!! APT 🐾 xx
Hi APT 🐾 How has your week been? We love the motorhome and can cook and wee without feeling embarrassed…. Just need to figure out the blinds 😂 😂 Hope to see you on the road 🚐
@@Stchristopherofatlantis it’s been a bit of a shocker to be fair, we’ve had some more bad news from a family member, it never ends - but we stay strong 💪🏼. You never should have been embarrassed, in StCoA the 1st you were lapping everyone sat at home wishing they were ooot and abooot (but to be fair you did need a loo) Deffo hope to bump into you on the road - gosh don’t let Paul and Andy read that, they’ll think I mean literally ‘bump’ xx
Glad to see you are taking note of the payload you will be surprised how many motorhomes are on the road over weight. We have noticed a lot travelling with full water tanks all adding to the weight.
Hi Rod. Thanks for watching. Andy was very concerned on the payload but reckon we are way under… that means I can pack more “essentials” 😂 😂 Have a great week
Ah we’re so happy for the both of you! And we all remember the coffee machine challenge on Krypton factor 😝😝 we wanted the loooong van but ended up with one that’s bang on 6 meters and I’m so glad longer would be too hard to park most places! I’d say there’s enough room in there for a Tupperwear party with lots of moving around 😉does Andy have a blanket with his name on??
You literally voice all the thoughts I have everytime my wife pulls something or forces something. She’s the same and breaks stuff all the time. I’m just not brave enough to say it out loud like you 😂
Just at the stage of trying to decide whether i want small or bigger. Also with used car prices falling 8% in the last 2 months I'm hoping motorhomes might start falling. Will keep watching your great videos.
Hello. We wish you the best of luck. We toyed over size and think our 6m is just right for us. Thank you for watching, we will keep making silly videos 🤪
For checking the payload for a new van to us, we use some suitcase scales and weigh each bag when loading, then anything else added later, you'll know what weight in the van. Enjoy your new van.
Hi. We spent quite a bit of time researching what would be best for us and like the drop down. It means we can’t lounge about in a morning and makes us get up and out. Thanks for watching and enjoy your travels 👍👍
Glad you found what you wanted, carn’t wait to see where you go. Oh make no mistake no matter how careful you are you will still knock lumps out of it. Enjoy
Congratulations guys nice motorhome it's great getting a new set of wheels. Ours has been in garage all year after coming back from France and Spain in April the big ends went pop got it back 4 weeks ago first trip out next week to Blackpool for 2 night stay to see the lights , if all goes well do a couple of more trips around the UK then back to France and Spain in April. So enjoy yourselves keep having fun keep smiling. Graham & Allison.
Hi Graham and Allison, Thankyou we do love it. We loved our trip to Blackpool and we went up to Lytham. Hope to see you out and about on the road 🚐 Enjoy and have the best weekend 😊
Oh wowzer looks gorgeous. Chill out a bit though matey..Or it will spoil your experience. We do know what you mean though. You just want everything to stay new…lol…love it. We have just bought a second hand new one. 3 yrs old. Baileys 706. 6….Cant wait for next year…Abitosis good thinking…😂😂😂..Never heard of talc though eh!!
We like both as they are pretty much the same, drop down bed and good size kitchen. We love our Benimar, it feels well made and sturdy. I am clumsy so we need this 🤣🤣
Biggest rattler is the cooker and grill tray. Tea towel under the glass and wrap the grill tray when travelling. Also take the tray out of the microwave cos that rattles too. We have all pans etc wrapped in shelf foam to stop even more rattles. Best solution is turn the music up 👍
Congratulations on your new MH, brings back all the memories of when we bought ours 2 years ago, exciting times and fun times ahead 👍😎. Treat ours exactly the same, even though you pay all that money, they don’t take much abuse 🙈 the wife pushed herself up on one of the low cupboards, yeah,, straight off 🥴😢 but managed to repair 👍. As for the rattles, plenty of tea towels needed to place around everything you can but you’ll still get that annoying squeak or bump 🙄😂😂 we were told to turn the radio up 😮😂😂. Enjoy your travels and we’ll be looking out for you ! All the best,,, Steve & Miche xxx
Hi Steve and Miche Loud music is the future 🎶 I nipped to B&M today for a load more tea towels so we are loaded up!! 🚐 I pray I don’t take the cupboard off but anything is possible 😂😂😂
Congratulations on the new van. Love your comedy, keep it up. Talking about payload, don't believe what the manufacturers say it is, they weigh it without fluids etc. Fill it how you will be traveling and take it to a weigh bridge, then you will know how much you have to play with.
buy lots of tea towels wrap pots and pans in them and the grill pan in the oven. also, I wrap the microwave turntable in one as well. I use pottery cups and a car wash sponge cut two holes in it and put the cups in. I also use a dish drying towel on the top of my oven under the glass while traveling. and tea towel under the sink top.
Hi. Thank for watching and these are brilliant tips. Love the car was sponge idea 🧽 Fabulous We hope to bump into you on the road 🚐 Have a great day ❄️
What another great video guys had us both laughing as usual, just love Clare's witty humour ,and how you leave the little clues to the ending of ya videos keep up the great work ❤️❤️
Hi Guy's, And breath, job done you deserve it, the van looks great what we have seen. The excitement was clear to see, the exciting bit is planning all your new adventures 😀. Andy is just like me when we get a new van, watch this and that, what are yiu doing is my favourite saying hopefully like me it wears off 😅. Loved the sign 😂. Looking forward to your adventures and further comedy vlogs. Take care 🙂 Paul and Joanne 👍 😁
@Stchristopherofatlantis Hi, Not been upto much, looking forward to our new year trip, Yes habitosis can be crippling for a van 😅😅 Enjoy your weekend. P and J 👍 ☺️
I was just about to say that when you did about felt. Best thing to do is get basics in live in it then you find out what else you need. Get a bike. Crocs are a must😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 xx nice looking van. Bottle opener😅😅😅 good luck on your adventures and don't worry too much about pay load weight.
I've just started watching you two it would be great to bump into you somewhere. I am from yorkshire but live near Portsmouth now. Our rust bucket is a H reg Talbot Express Harmony. You are not novice at van life and have survived in a small space. So your new home is spacious. I don't know what kit you have already. I would recommend having plastic or melamine plates bowls and glasses so they are lightweight and won't break. We have both ways of cooking. Gad when on hook up we 7se a kettle and small toaster. You will be able to get loads of stuff in your van without worrying about the weight. We have a bike carrier to carry two bikes. We have chairs. We can even take a blow up 3 seater canoe. Just think lightweight storeage solutions. Make a list to how you might live and go from there xxx oh and first aid kit for those little accidents xxx we always have basic food stuff we take and then if we need to shop xxxx we even have games in the van xx have you got a name yet? Xx liz tin opener essential
I had to look up your model as you didn't show us the bed. I guess it's an electric drop down bed? Nice van. What year is it and how much did you pay for it?
Sorry we missed this one, was busy getting tipsy in York. Love the layout. You definately need a nice smelling Colon, unfortunately Darren fails miserable in this department 😂😂
I don't know what it is but your hubby just makes me think of Ricky Gervais from The Office every time I watch one of your vid's, no disrespect intended. Like the motorhome very nice.👍
As soon as I saw the notification on Saturday I knew you’d bought a motorhome. I had to wait till my wife Aby came back from the shops to watch it and spent Saturday afternoon mansplaining about payload. Cheers for that 😂. Safe travels in your new Christopher…is another video likely to drop in the next few days? We live in hope!
Helloooooo!! Yes we have picked up the beauty that is St Christopher of Atlantis the second 🚐 😁 Glad you enjoy.. we always try to make a funny ending… we’ve made the next video already, another good ending!! 📺 I still have no idea about payload 🤷♀️ Have a great week. Hi Aby
Sneaked the video in a day early I see, fantastic video and brilliant news on St Christopher of Atlantis the 2nd. The motorhome looks amazing guys, some really great funny moments and the climax gag at the end pure genius. Thanks again guys for making us all laugh. 👏
Hi Tony, We thought what the heck, let’s show the new pad 🤣 🚐 We had our tea in it the night we brought it home 😂 Glad you liked the end.. did you guess it? Keep laughing 😂 Have a fab week
@@Stchristopherofatlantisno I didn’t guess which made it really funny at the end. Class your sorted now with a new set of wheels Claire and Andy. Upwards and Onwards 🎉
Great video as always congrats on the MH we are still undecided what to get we have also hired a couple of times from staycation in Barnsley as that’s where we live but the search goes on…enjoy it and take care when your ice trucking in this freezing Yorkshire weather😂👍🏻
@@Stchristopherofatlantis thanks very much hopefully we will get one soon…and I’ve just realised I hadn’t subscribed so I’ve done it now👍🏻…oh and don’t listen to the UA-cam trolls with the negative comments they wouldn’t recognise a bit of fun if it bite them on the arse.
Welcome welcome we are so delighted you found us!!!! 🚐 We try to bring hilarious yet extremely informative travel content with no healthy drinks in sight!!! Have a fab weekend!
@Stchristopherofatlantis hsi name is Jingo and he's a Fox Red Labrador. He's an absolute belter, my first ever dog and it's the best thing I've ever done. I can't wait to take him camping next year. Thanks for the reply, hope you both have a great week!
We were really interested in the buying process and why you went with the one you did, but unless I missed it, there was no footage of what it looked like from the outside, how the layout worked with the bed down (we’re guessing it is where the table is), or the price. These are the details people looking to follow in your footsteps want to know 🙂
Hi. We will share this. The reason no outside shots yet is because by the time we got home it was pitch black outside and minus 2 🥶❄️ will share Thanks for watching us
I think I’m going to get a California next year. We have had a caravan for a good few years now and I don’t think we’ll sell it yet but I want to be able to just drive off one Friday evening for a couple of days and I think the VW will be ideal. I can also tow the caravan with it. Best of both worlds.
So happy for you both , great choice of Motorhome and I’m sure you both will have some great adventures in it ( I hope you take us along to enjoy the fun) . You got a little bit excited on the journey to pick it up and definitely hyper at the coffee machine 😂. Beautiful Motorhome and I’m sure you will eventually find a place for everything, it takes a few trips away to get it sorted. Pablo looked a bit confused by it all but I’m sure he’ll settle in ,( loved his blanket by the way ) . Glad Andy got the bag back it could have been embarrassing . By the way, there are plenty of sensitive a- - - - - - s out there but let the get to you. 😂😂 Love. Your videos and humour,take care 🚐👍
Found myself shouting to my wife “they’ve posted another video, quick come and watch it” Brightens up our day! Hope everyone else gets the humour😂
We absolutely love this comment 💕
We are delighted with this and we thank you for your support 👍😃🚐

You literally voice all the thoughts I have everytime my wife pulls something or forces something. She’s the same and breaks stuff all the time. I’m just not brave enough to say it out loud like you 😂
I’m terrible for it 🤷♀️🤷♀️ All the best wives are 😂😂
Just at the stage of trying to decide whether i want small or bigger. Also with used car prices falling 8% in the last 2 months I'm hoping motorhomes might start falling. Will keep watching your great videos.
Hello. We wish you the best of luck. We toyed over size and think our 6m is just right for us. Thank you for watching, we will keep making silly videos 🤪
Thanks - that’s interesting about prices dropping! My plan is to get a campervan next spring - I’m so nervous about buying a wrong un!!
We wish you the best
For checking the payload for a new van to us, we use some suitcase scales and weigh each bag when loading, then anything else added later, you'll know what weight in the van. Enjoy your new van.
Hello. Great idea, thank you
Hope to bump into you guys
Silicone spray on main wooden joints stops a lot of squeaking where the walls rub due to the movement of the body
Sounds awesome. We will look into this. Thanks and have a fab day ❄️
I really like the layout of your van ours has a rear lounge and we have to mess about making the bed up then taking it down next morning
Hi. We spent quite a bit of time researching what would be best for us and like the drop down. It means we can’t lounge about in a morning and makes us get up and out.
Thanks for watching and enjoy your travels 👍👍
Glad you found what you wanted, carn’t wait to see where you go. Oh make no mistake no matter how careful you are you will still knock lumps out of it. Enjoy
Helllooo. Thank you for watching our silly video!! Claire here and I’ll try to keep things pristine!! 😳😂👍
Hope you both & Pablo have lots of wonderful times in your new motorhome St Christopher of Atlantis 2. All the best Nidge & Jules ❤
Hi guys,

So enjoy yourselves keep having fun keep smiling.
Graham & Allison.
Hi Graham and Allison,
Thankyou we do love it. We loved our trip to Blackpool and we went up to Lytham. Hope to see you out and about on the road 🚐
Enjoy and have the best weekend 😊
Congrat's on your lovely new motorhome and the many exciting new adventures to come...
Hello. Thank you very much for your kind words. We are chomping to get out in it now 🚐
Oh wowzer looks gorgeous. Chill out a bit though matey..Or it will spoil your experience. We do know what you mean though. You just want everything to stay new…lol…love it. We have just bought a second hand new one. 3 yrs old. Baileys 706. 6….Cant wait for next year…Abitosis good thinking…😂😂😂..Never heard of talc though eh!!
Hi Malc, We love it 🚐 thanks very much for watching
We hope to bump into you on the road in your lovely Bailey. Stay clear of any habitosis 😂 😂
Nice van. Do you prefer this or the roller team t590. Had a look at some of these myself at the Sheffield site.
We like both as they are pretty much the same, drop down bed and good size kitchen. We love our Benimar, it feels well made and sturdy. I am clumsy so we need this 🤣🤣
Biggest rattler is the cooker and grill tray. Tea towel under the glass and wrap the grill tray when travelling. Also take the tray out of the microwave cos that rattles too. We have all pans etc wrapped in shelf foam to stop even more rattles. Best solution is turn the music up 👍
Good job I love loud music 🎶 oh and we have about a million tea towels (just in case)
Love it guys ❤❤ use pot towels to stop rattles in you oven and plates 👍👍
Hi Ray, thank you 😊 I nipped to B&M and got a load 😂
Hope you are well
@@Stchristopherofatlantis all good thanks
A piece from Cluedo , Last of the Summer Wine edition! I laughed so much at that my husband came through to ask what I was watching.
Hello. I don’t think I look anything like Compo 😂😂😂😂I’m not quite as grey yet!!!!!
Congratulations on your new MH, brings back all the memories of when we bought ours 2 years ago, exciting times and fun times ahead 👍😎. Treat ours exactly the same, even though you pay all that money, they don’t take much abuse 🙈 the wife pushed herself up on one of the low cupboards, yeah,, straight off 🥴😢 but managed to repair 👍. As for the rattles, plenty of tea towels needed to place around everything you can but you’ll still get that annoying squeak or bump 🙄😂😂 we were told to turn the radio up 😮😂😂. Enjoy your travels and we’ll be looking out for you ! All the best,,, Steve & Miche xxx
Hi Steve and Miche
Loud music is the future 🎶
I nipped to B&M today for a load more tea towels so we are loaded up!! 🚐
I pray I don’t take the cupboard off but anything is possible 😂😂😂
@@Stchristopherofatlantis 😂😂😂 you’ll love it, enjoy the posh adventures 😎👍
Fill up with what you need, and take it to the weight bridge, to get a rough idea, of what you can add or take out
Hi. Cracking idea thank you. Have you done this? Have a great weekend
@@Stchristopherofatlantis not personally on motor homes, just hgvs. Take care, lockpick and family.
Congratulations on the new van. Love your comedy, keep it up. Talking about payload, don't believe what the manufacturers say it is, they weigh it without fluids etc. Fill it how you will be traveling and take it to a weigh bridge, then you will know how much you have to play with.
Hi. Glad you like the comedy, we just can’t help making jokes with each other!
Weigh bridge is a great idea. We shall do just that 😊
Have a great week
Well done guys I wish you many many happy travels and new adventures ❤
Hi Mike. Thank you very much. Have a great weekend
Enjoy your beautiful new home, safe journeys, and your fresh colon!😂 Lots of love and to Pablo too xxx💕
Hi. It smells lovely in here 🚐 🌸
Thanks for watching our silly video
Cracking ending.
Congratulations on the new rig.
Hello. Thank you
We lurve it
Great you're now sorted. You too are just like me and my wife down to the OCD and clumsiness. We've even got the sane kettle 😂😂
It’s a sign!!!! Must bump into you guys somewhere soon! 🚐 Happy travels and have a great weekend 👍😊
Check the influx capacitor ,happy travels x
Hi. Claire here, no idea what that is, will be open up my bottle of wine
How do you do this without absolutely collapsing! HABITOSIS? Bottom wipes? And I'm only 2 minutes in!
Morning Tim. This was a particularly silly one 😂😂😂 Watch out for the dreaded habitosis 🤷♀️😬🤣
Hope you are well
Great banter 😁 love your channel and congratulations on your new van
Hello. Glad you enjoy. Have a fab weekend
Congratulations both lovely feeling getting a new motorhome enjoy it looks lovely 👍
Hi. Thank you so much. We wish you a great weekend
Congratulations guys, enjoy your dream motorhome can’t wait for your adventures and you’re both very entertaining 🎉❤
Hi. Glad you enjoyed our silly video
Have the best weekend 👍👋😁
You two always make me laugh happy times to come in your New Motorhome🙂
Hi Ray, so pleased you enjoy. Have a great weekend 😃👍
buy lots of tea towels wrap pots and pans in them and the grill pan in the oven. also, I wrap the microwave turntable in one as well. I use pottery cups and a car wash sponge cut two holes in it and put the cups in. I also use a dish drying towel on the top of my oven under the glass while traveling. and tea towel under the sink top.
Hi. Thank for watching and these are brilliant tips. Love the car was sponge idea 🧽 Fabulous
We hope to bump into you on the road 🚐 Have a great day ❄️
What another great video guys had us both laughing as usual, just love Clare's witty humour ,and how you leave the little clues to the ending of ya videos keep up the great work ❤️❤️
Hi guys. Thank you both for watching. The wit just comes out…. 😬 Safe travels
🎉🎉🎉 congrats on the new St Chris 👍🏻 top tip.. wrap the oven tray / grill in a tea towel otherwise it will drive you crazy 😂😂
Tea towels are the future!!
Thanks for watching and have a superb weekend 🚐
@@Stchristopherofatlantis game changer 👌🏻👍🏻 enjoy your adventures and keep on making us laugh 😃
Really enjoy watching your video, always entertaining and funny, looking forward to your adventures in the new motor home
Hello. Thanks for watching and delighted you enjoy our silly videos
Have a great day
Congratulations .. that sign Is hilarious 😂 enjoy Happy travels
Hi. Glad you liked it. Wishing you a fab weekend
Hi Guy's,
And breath, job done you deserve it, the van looks great what we have seen.
The excitement was clear to see, the exciting bit is planning all your new adventures 😀.
Andy is just like me when we get a new van, watch this and that, what are yiu doing is my favourite saying hopefully like me it wears off 😅.
Loved the sign 😂.
Looking forward to your adventures and further comedy vlogs.
Take care 🙂
Paul and Joanne 👍 😁
Hello to you both. What you been up to? Thank you we do love it. It’s a beauty! Do you have to have habitosis checks on your caravan? 😂😂😂
@Stchristopherofatlantis
Hi,
Not been upto much, looking forward to our new year trip,
Yes habitosis can be crippling for a van 😅😅
Enjoy your weekend.
P and J 👍 ☺️
Love the new van, great layout for 2 + small doggo, no regets 😂
Hello Graham. No regets 😂
We love the space and it works for us. Hope to bump into you on the road 🚐
Hilarious, beautifully crafted video. Loved the romantic sign, 😊
Hi. Glad you enjoyed watching our silly video.
Have a great weekend
I was just about to say that when you did about felt. Best thing to do is get basics in live in it then you find out what else you need. Get a bike. Crocs are a must😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 xx nice looking van. Bottle opener😅😅😅 good luck on your adventures and don't worry too much about pay load weight.
Crocs essential
Bottle opener essential
Pringles essential
😂😂
I've just started watching you two it would be great to bump into you somewhere. I am from yorkshire but live near Portsmouth now. Our rust bucket is a H reg Talbot Express Harmony. You are not novice at van life and have survived in a small space. So your new home is spacious. I don't know what kit you have already. I would recommend having plastic or melamine plates bowls and glasses so they are lightweight and won't break. We have both ways of cooking. Gad when on hook up we 7se a kettle and small toaster. You will be able to get loads of stuff in your van without worrying about the weight. We have a bike carrier to carry two bikes. We have chairs. We can even take a blow up 3 seater canoe. Just think lightweight storeage solutions. Make a list to how you might live and go from there xxx oh and first aid kit for those little accidents xxx we always have basic food stuff we take and then if we need to shop xxxx we even have games in the van xx have you got a name yet? Xx liz tin opener essential
Love it , congratulations guys , here’s to lots of exciting trips and destinations 🎉
Hello, thank you. Hope to bump into you guys
Great choice of van and company you bought it from, thought max & paddy where good but you 2 take it to a different level , comedy gold 😂😂
Hi Trevor, so glad you enjoyed.. let’s hope Peter Kay sees our videos and invites us to join his show 😂
We did the same thing. One month in and happy so far haha. Hopefully nothing goes wrong !
🤞 👍
I had to look up your model as you didn't show us the bed. I guess it's an electric drop down bed? Nice van. What year is it and how much did you pay for it?
It’s a Benimar mileo 202 with drop down bed
We love it
Sorry we missed this one, was busy getting tipsy in York. Love the layout. You definately need a nice smelling Colon, unfortunately Darren fails miserable in this department 😂😂
Hi. We hope you had a fabulous time, pics looked like you did 😁
Hope you are well and how is Darren’s drone? 😂
@@Stchristopherofatlantis oooh next vlog out he gets really daring with Dick, just need to edit it ha ha 🤣
Congratulations. Love it... So happy for you guys..
Hi John. How are you?
Thank you very much for your kind comment. We love it. We hope to bump into you on the road 🚐
I don't know what it is but your hubby just makes me think of Ricky Gervais from The Office every time I watch one of your vid's, no disrespect intended. Like the motorhome very nice.👍
Hi. Let’s hope Ricky sees our videos and invites us to be in his next show 😂😂😂 Have a great day
Fingers crossed.@@Stchristopherofatlantis
Ih wow congratulations,so excited for you 3. Happy travels 🎉🎉🎉
Helloooooo. See you in a site soon 👍👍
Habit-tosis! PMSL, and you kept your face straight! Health to drive your new MH.
Hello. We heard it very bad 😂 😂
Thanks for watching
As soon as I saw the notification on Saturday I knew you’d bought a motorhome. I had to wait till my wife Aby came back from the shops to watch it and spent Saturday afternoon mansplaining about payload. Cheers for that 😂. Safe travels in your new Christopher…is another video likely to drop in the next few days? We live in hope!
Helloooooo!! Yes we have picked up the beauty that is St Christopher of Atlantis the second 🚐 😁
Glad you enjoy.. we always try to make a funny ending… we’ve made the next video already, another good ending!! 📺
I still have no idea about payload 🤷♀️
Have a great week.
Hi Aby
Sneaked the video in a day early I see, fantastic video and brilliant news on St Christopher of Atlantis the 2nd. The motorhome looks amazing guys, some really great funny moments and the climax gag at the end pure genius. Thanks again guys for making us all laugh. 👏
Hi Tony, We thought what the heck, let’s show the new pad 🤣 🚐 We had our tea in it the night we brought it home 😂
Glad you liked the end.. did you guess it? Keep laughing 😂 Have a fab week
@@Stchristopherofatlantisno
I didn’t guess which made it really funny at the end. Class your sorted now with a new set of wheels Claire and Andy. Upwards and Onwards 🎉
Wishing you lots of safe and fun filled travels in your new Motorhome! ☺️ PS Jeez you’ve got some right moany subscribers on here! 😜😆
Thank you. We hope to bump into you on our travels. 🚐
Stay safe and warm! 👍😃
Buy plenty dish towels. Never mind the mess talcom powder will make. Use dishtowels for grill etc.
Hi. Thank you for this. I’ll head over to B&M and get a load more, it is the best option!! Wishing you a great week
Great video as always congrats on the MH we are still undecided what to get we have also hired a couple of times from staycation in Barnsley as that’s where we live but the search goes on…enjoy it and take care when your ice trucking in this freezing Yorkshire weather😂👍🏻
Hi. Thanks for watching and we really hope you find your motorhome soo and that we bump into you on a site very soon 🚐
@@Stchristopherofatlantis thanks very much hopefully we will get one soon…and I’ve just realised I hadn’t subscribed so I’ve done it now👍🏻…oh and don’t listen to the UA-cam trolls with the negative comments they wouldn’t recognise a bit of fun if it bite them on the arse.
Delighted you have subscribed. Thank you for that, very much x
Only found you guys today and already addicted!! Wicked sense of humour 😂
Welcome welcome we are so delighted you found us!!!! 🚐
We try to bring hilarious yet extremely informative travel content with no healthy drinks in sight!!!
Have a fab weekend!
You can load it with your stuff and go and get it weighed but you should be fine xx liz
Thanks Liz. I hope Andy doesn’t weigh it 😂😂🤣🤣
Yes. You'll be way under. Have a great time in your new van. What are you going to do regarding your old van was your day van.
Hi. St Christopher the first was sold. We hope his new family are looking after him and he takes them on many adventures
Since I started watching you guys, I've got a puppy, and I want to show you him!
He was born in the South but I'm sure I can teach him to be northern!
Helloooo. Pablo sends a woof, what is his name and breed? 🐾
I was born in the south… moved up to Sheffield so we can forgive him that 😂 😂
@Stchristopherofatlantis hsi name is Jingo and he's a Fox Red Labrador. He's an absolute belter, my first ever dog and it's the best thing I've ever done. I can't wait to take him camping next year.
Thanks for the reply, hope you both have a great week!
We were really interested in the buying process and why you went with the one you did, but unless I missed it, there was no footage of what it looked like from the outside, how the layout worked with the bed down (we’re guessing it is where the table is), or the price. These are the details people looking to follow in your footsteps want to know 🙂
Hi. We will share this. The reason no outside shots yet is because by the time we got home it was pitch black outside and minus 2 🥶❄️ will share
Thanks for watching us
Give em a chance,they've just bought it! Let them enjoy it,give em time.
I think I’m going to get a California next year. We have had a caravan for a good few years now and I don’t think we’ll sell it yet but I want to be able to just drive off one Friday evening for a couple of days and I think the VW will be ideal. I can also tow the caravan with it. Best of both worlds.
Hi. Californias are beautiful 🚐 We hope to bump into you guys on a site with your California and caravan!!
Have a great weekend 😃
Excellent motorhome , excited for you x
We love love it
Thank you very much
Wishing you a fab weekend
So happy for you both , great choice of Motorhome and I’m sure you both will have some great adventures in it ( I hope you take us along to enjoy the fun) . You got a little bit excited on the journey to pick it up and definitely hyper at the coffee machine 😂. Beautiful Motorhome and I’m sure you will eventually find a place for everything, it takes a few trips away to get it sorted. Pablo looked a bit confused by it all but I’m sure he’ll settle in ,( loved his blanket by the way ) . Glad Andy got the bag back it could have been embarrassing . By the way, there are plenty of sensitive a- - - - - - s out there but let the get to you. 😂😂 Love. Your videos and humour,take care 🚐👍
Hi Eric, Thank you, we love it and just want to be out and about.
Hope you have a great weekend x
Congratulations with the new rig, enjoy and keep the vids coming 😂
Hi. Thanks we love love it
Lots of videos coming 🚐
Love it guys 😂 Congratulations on the new MH.
Thank you thank you
Have a great weekend
