CARTHAGO LINER FOR TWO - UK OWNER FULL REVIEW!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 жов 2023
- This is a full and honest review of an IVECO based Liner for two. The model is the 6.7t I53L which is the long base vehicle at 8.67 metres long. Here we show the outside and the inside of the liner along with other additions that have been purchased to make the motorhome stay longer off grid and some upgrades that the owner thought necessary. If you have any questions or comments please post below. We hope you find the video informative, lighthearted and enjoyable.
I really enjoyed watching this. Just two mates talking bollocks 😂. That’s the best set up MH I’ve ever seen. Hope you are having a great time.
😂😂 I do think that Tony (the owner) spoke more bollocks than I did. 😂😂 Glad you enjoyed it though and he certainly has kitted it out well, with more kit to be added in the future. We are having a cracking time here in Cyprus. As you can imagine Cyprus hardly gets motorhome visitors, especially from the UK, and have attracted a lot of attention which is nice. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. 👍
Great video of a fantastic van
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
That's got to be the blokeyist review I've ever seen, well done guys
Hi @retroi423. 😂😂 On reflection it does seem a tad blokey. But it was meant to be as informative as possible for anyone considering purchasing the Liner for two. A massive part was the cab area which we purposely didn't cover as we thought that was going to be too blokeyish. 😂 Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.
Hi Tony tap your barometer with one of your knuckles and it should help move the dial . If this doesn't work its broken . George told me your were staying for longer glad you like Elenas Beach as much as we did enjoy your travels your van is stunning best wishes Dave (Elegance ) aka Eleanor 😊
Hi businessaccount7813 / David. Hope you enjoyed meteora. We are staying until Thursday after clearing it with George. Then we are off to Vikos Gorge. Stoping at Jumbo and Lidl on the way. 😂 Hope you're both good and thanks for watching. Do you want to see a LAIKA review? 😂😂
Great video, just a quick question, was that a fire stick on the bedroom tv. If yes how did you install it, did you have to remove the TV?
Hi Tony. Thanks for watching. Yes, that is a fire stick connected to the TV in the bedroom. The fire stick comes with an extension. That HAS to be used otherwise the fire stick interferes with the TV locking mechanism. It's a bit of a Pfaff but you can get it in there. A pair of long nose pliers would be very helpful. That way you don't have to remove the TV. Hope that helps.
Hi, great video 👍 Tony has some great accessories etc…it would be good if you could do a video on where to find these like the mini washing machine and storage boxes? Oh also he has a excellent power pack setup 👌 Thanks great video..
Hi Mark, thanks for the comment. Tony indeed has a nice power setup. Power is everything when you are in your motorhome as long as we are and we like to have as much power as we can get, especially when there is no sun about. The washing machine can be purchased from Amazon (there are many models to choose from). The boxes are from ebay. Keep watching the channel as we will be making a video reviewing items that are essential for long term living in a motorhome. Thanks for watching. 👍
Excellent cheers 👍 could you also tell me, Am I right in saying Tony’s powerbank setup is that he plugs into site hookup say 6amp and then runs the MH through the ecoflows?. Cheers 🤔
Hi @@markhowie7357 . Yes that is correct. Tony has two sets of ecoflow products. He has two Ecoflow Delta Max's, (which were used in his previous MH) and has now installed 2 Ecoflow Delta Pro's in the Carthago. He uses the the Pro's, as you have described, as they are permanently in the MH. The Max's are more portable and they are used elsewhere when required. However, if the Pro's are running low he (and we) can utilize the Max's to do the same thing (as we also have 2 delta Max's), albeit with less overall maH than the Pro's. Hope that helps. 😃👍
That’s a great idea, thanks…. Maybe you and Tony could do a short video to show and explain exactly how it’s done… I think viewers/MH would be very interested in this ! I certainly am. Thanks again.👍
Hi@@markhowie7357 . Keep watching as we will definitely be doing a video on this and other things in the coming weeks. 😁👍
What a brilliant van, sorry motorhome thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. It's ok. 😉
Where did Tony get the extra fuel tank fitted please
@@MarkKnockton-og1sh Hi, Mark. Tony has a business and a business contact designed and manufactured it for him. It is a bespoke fuel tank. We're not sure if any other company makes additional fuel tanks for Carthago's.
I have looked everywhere and can’t find anything online. Would it be possible to pass details as I would pay full price,no favours
@@MarkKnockton-og1sh Hi Mark. When it's your own Moho it's always a gamble to modifications that could possibly go wrong. It's an expensive piece of kit. Doing mods to other people's moho's is something that is too risky and would not like to undertake at this time. Sorry. We will look for somebody that may be able to help and if we find someone we'll pass on the details here.
Can we see the bed in operation please. No one shows it go up & down. We had problems in the past and would like to see it moving, also can the bedding be left in place? Cheers
Hi Sharon. Unfortunately the owners of the Moho are back in the UK currently and we won't be hooking up with them until later this year. It was an oversight not showing the bed in operation and thought, at the time, that it wouldn't be of interest. Tony, the owner, has had it a tad longer now and I'm sure we'll do an update to that video in the coming months. So please keep an eye out for it. Thanks for watching.
How does the Iveco engine and chassis perform being rear wheel drive, cheers =",'=
Hi Holly. The engine is powerful enough and works well with the rear drive as it has difflock. However, fuel consumption is around 15 mpg tops. Going down to between 10-12 mpg depending on how you drive it. It is 6.7 tonne after all. Thanks for watching.
Don’t use the inverters much, carries two eco flows ?
Hi John. Sorry, I don't understand your question.
3 :)
No sure if you get notifications for UA-cam but I was wondering how much solar is on the roof? Also how do you charge the Ecoflows in the garage? Thanks. Great video by the way 👍
Hi Sue. The Carthago (well, particularly this one) did not come with any solar panels. It comes with the wiring already in place to take solar panels but they are an option on a new liner for two. Tony had a 200w solar panel fitted (the cost was circa £700) that charges the leisure batteries. He also installed another 200w to charge the ecoflow boxes. Hope that helps.
Thanks for your reply 👍 Is the solar for the Ecoflow on the roof?
@@sueparry4657 Hi Sue. Tony has two solar panels. A 200w solar panel that charges the leisure batteries, and another 200w solar panel that charges his ecoflow boxes that are in the garage of the motorhome. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the information. But I was wondering are the solar panels for charging the Ecoflow units on the roof? I'm only enquiring because that's what we'd like to do, rather than having a stand alone solar panel to be used only when you're around and stationary. Thanks
@@sueparry4657 Hi Sue. Yes that's correct. There is a 200w panel on the roof that charges the leisure batteries. There is also a 200w solar panel on the roof that charges the ecoflow boxes. The ecoflow boxes are in the garage. Hope that helps.
Fabulous..is the Iveco rear wheel drive?
Hi @leannearnold8326. T D Bowles repairman assures me that it is rear wheel drive and can be driven on a C1 license. Hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
At what time in video was the cockpit shown , i mean from inside it looked like a tow unit im 70 n not the best vision and im guessing i just missed seeing the driver's seat and co-drivers seat
@@doughaga3542 Hi Doug. We didn't show the cab area as there are plenty of other videos on YT that shows this quite extensively. Our video was to show some of the other areas which may have not been covered so well in other videos. Thanks for watching.
A beautiful unit of which we are about to place an order. We do prefer the shorter version. There don't seem to be any used ones around which is a testimony that the owners love or like them enough to keep them.
Hi @GVTheultimateBook. Thanks for watching and hope you really enjoy it when you take delivery of it. It is truly a fantastic vehicle. There are some short falls that we highlighted in the video but what motorhome doesn't have shortfalls. Thanks for watching. 🙏
Hi there, we are seriously considering buying one exactly like this next year . As for quality and design cathargo liner for two probably is the best out there by far. But theres something worrying us thats potentially preventing us buying it. Our question to the owner is, are there lists of bespoke sites in Europe to park these expensive liners like for example concierge in Chichester.
Thanks G&G.
Hi G&G. Firstly, thanks for watching and hope that it was informative. The owner (we call him Bowlsey) has not had a smooth ride in owning the vehicle to be honest. From new there have been a LOT of issues with the motorhome and I'm sure he wouldn't mind me saying that. However, almost ALL new motorhomes will have issues and he would not swap it for any other vehicle (apart from a Morelo if it had a rear lounge). To answer your question, we have been on a 6 month journey from the UK to Cyprus , taking in France, Italy, Greece and Turkey too. From memory there wasn't anywhere that he couldn't park the motorhome. Yes, there were some tight places but on the whole 90% of the time it wasn't an issue. But, please bear in mind that in Europe the majority of campsites are not 5 star such as concierge. Laikalikers.
Hi G&G. I just wanted to say that another couple of motorhomes that you should definitely consider are Morelo and the Niesmann & Bischoff Flair 880. Both top quality motorhomes. They don't have a rear lounge but they are magnificent motorhomes. Laikalikers.
