    Hello all ,from the black sea coast ,,the alps are amazing which ever country you view them from,
    your rest stop was not as nice as your previous stops ,just a tad to commercial ,it was nice to see the three of you enjoying a ride out ,and the boss behind the wheel , so a big well done tackling those hair pin bends ,,
    it took me a while to realize that a few of your videos are not in a set order ,not that it really matters as they are a joy to watch ,
    but in saying that ,what would be really useful to any one watching ,would be if you announced the date of the video ,as people could see the weather at that time of year and also traffic conditions and the like ,,well enjoy and keep up the good work ,,,

    Hi
    We enjoy watching your channel, as we are obtaining some good information in readiness of our first motorhome purchase. We have looked at various manufacturers and are considering the Mobilvetta.
    Please could you offer your honest opion, pros & cons of a mobilvetta.
    Thank you.

      Hi Sean and many thanks indeed for watching - good to have you along. 😁
      We have loved the Mobi ! In the first 2 weeks we had a fault come up on the dash which was a known Fiat issue (exhaust DPF) - sorted swiftly by Fiat on warranty as we showed in an early
      film on the channel and since then completely fault free engine for, now, 21k miles.
      We looked in a lot of Motorhomes before buying and certainly a lot since when doing the NEC shows and the bottom line is they are all very similar timber inside - pretty thin and easy to work on with the odd loose screw or hinge but very easy to repair or get spares if needed.
      Be prepared to take on little jobs like that and life is easy!! 😁
      We haven’t had anything break internally apart from that door catch I made another film on!!
      Don’t like the eye level gas oven so might swap it for a microwave and take the air fryer again.
      We’ve loved it, really have, and the Peggy the scooter addition has given us great options, more so than the electric bikes cos of range.
      I don’t thrash the engine, generally 55ish unless in a hurry then not over 70, and it really hasn’t missed a beat - engine and running gear wise. No tyres needed yet and you’ve probably seen our costings films re running a Fiat.
      We decided on the rear island bed layout and big garage for electric bikes initially and so landed on the Mobilvetta. We liked the bit of Italian style - lighter colours, lots of light, incredible storage capacity and since upgrading the solar we can off grid for a week easily if it’s summer sun in Europe.
      You occasionally see bad press about vans but it really is across the board.
      Our experience with Marquis has been very good - some not so good but that’s the dealers not the vehicle!!
      All in all we’re happy bunnies - probably rambled on too much there 😂😂🚌🎉☀️
      (PS - if you’re able to, don’t get a lighter van with no payload ie not the Series 2 Mobilvettas -or say a 3500 or 3650. Go for the 4.4 ton Fiat chassis gives you loadsssss of payload!!)
