    Loved the end. Now this fridge thing. Ours is a Thetford and you can turn it to a lower temperature. We do this when the day gets hot and turn it back in the evening. We have no trouble with it being cold enough. Ice cream is hard. We live in Spain and are out in the heat. The fridge has 5 settings. Normally its on 3 and we turn it up to 4. Never had to use 5. Another tip for people who want toast. Just use a dry frying pan. Hopes this helps some people. Perhaps its worth checking the controls. Great video as always.

    Great review. The sales peeps and jounalist reviewers always give you the lifestyle features of vans but the living reality is quite different. Interesting about the possible towcar. We have been towing one for a few years but recently changed our van from 9.0m, 5k tonne 3 ltr remapped tag axle to a 7.5m 3.85 tonne 2.3 150hp. The performance deficit is huge although the new van is a fair bit lighter. Can now rarely use 6th gear when towing and will probably get a remap. As you already have a tow bar, you may want to try a tow before you decide.

    Enjoy your videos and it was interesting looking round your rather nice van! A quick question, we are in the market for a 8.9m van, how do you find the overhang from the tag axle where the garage is. Does it cause any driving problems or anything we have to careful with. You make it look so easy when you are driving about. thanks

    • @RoamingRadfords
      @RoamingRadfords  Рік тому

      Thanks Janet. Yes it’s quite a long over hang and driving it is easy enough, but when swinging it around tight spaces and car parks you need to be careful of the rear end coming around, but you soon get used to it. The worst thing is the ferries where it’s easy to bottom out the tow bar, however we have recently put the air suspension on it and now we can just press a button to drop the front and lift the rear to help with these situations.

    Hello could you live in this all year round? Also if I could do you get places you can park for free. I have sold my house and I need a place to live while I search for a new project. Renting is such a waste of money so I thought of buying one of these. Is it simple to drive?

    Great video , you should be working for the manufacturers sales team 😁👍. Couple of questions ....... : Is the 180 bhp engine enough for the weight of the motorhome especially when fully loaded and what mpg do you get ? Thanks for another cracking video 📹 👍 👏

    • @RoamingRadfords
      @RoamingRadfords  Рік тому +2

      Thanks Steven. The power is enough for the motorhome, although it feels lacking in low down torque compared to my old 3.0 180bhp, you just need to rev it a little more and change down gears more often. I currently get around 23 mpg, but this will increase when we’re on our summer holidays as I tend to drive a little than in the UK and have seen 25-26 mpg.
