Hi Ken and Carol we have the same van as your Little Red and we would like to know what make is your digital display screen on your dashboard with navigation and can you recommend it please thanks Carol and Bob 😊
If you have trouble getting a signal in your lovely new tin box get a MiFi router, put it in a sealable zip bag and trap it in the skylight on the roof. Quick and easy and very often successful. I had an unlocked one and took several different SIM cards with us.
I though Little Red was cute and took you to places the new van can't but I prefer the Consort. A bit more room to expand and so much better with a loo! It's such an important thing and I'm sure the showers are way better than daily wash ups. I enjoy your travels. Thank you for taking me with you.
Ooooooooooooh the new campervan 😊😊❤ LOVE IT!❤ The height difference must feel so much more relaxing in a way ss you can fully stand up unlike in the previous van! Everything smelling new is always a beautiful scent wether it be a carpet, decorating a,new vehicle etc.etc 👌like thd layout 😊 Carole makes a mean sausage barm cake 😋😋😋😋after a short while you'll be wondering how you managed in a small van..but The little Red camper served a marvellous purpose & got you to placed you couldn't or wouldn't have gone to in a vehicle of this size! Here's to some vlogs i can view on my quiet Sunday morning with a cuppa tea 🍵 and dunking biscuits 😋 😂😂😂😂Nice one Ken & Carole really chuffed for ya 💯👌🎉
Cheers David. Today standing up, having a shower all amazing. One thing we have noticed is it’s a long walk to get your glasses if you leave them up the front 😁👍. We known we have some frustrating bits to come when we start meeting all the height barriers 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK ha ha 😂 I bet the standing up fully is soooo much better especially as none of us are getting any bloody younger 😒 yeah the height barrier problem will come in obvious BUT nothing ya can't deal with just find somewhere else to park up 👌
Love the van!!! So much more room and it looks spacious. My plan was to travel the rest of my life after I retired but I am raising an autistic grandson, instead. Enjoying your adventures. I just have a different kind. Thank goodness he loves hiking and driving around our Mountains in Upper East Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia. Life is what you make it☺️
Hello. Thank you for great videos and wonderful views rain or shine. It’s very interesting to listen to your comments during your trips and tips relating to owning a camper van. A bit of a squeeze in Little Red and now for something completely different. I would like to name your new van COSY. With my very best wishes to you both for many more trips and videos. Stay safe and good luck.
Lovely new van. Someone will have a great van with your 'little red' we used to have a Fiat which we called Baked Bean, coz of the colour. Happy adventures in your new vehicle.
Its an absolutely gorgeous lookibg van and the interior is sheer luxury. I'm so jealous but in a good way, you both worked hard over the years and have earned this beautiful van. So grateful to be able to travel vicariously through you both. Wishing you both many, many, happy driving days ahead and adventures galore.
Good luck with the new van. Really nice that you have offered little red to people on the channel first, interesting to see how that goes, as far as possible noting buyers privacy of course. All the best. David.
I note you have an sun shelter. Our experience of them is to only use when the weather is settled and calm. If left out I had to get up in the middle of the night and wind it back in due to it rattling when the wind got up 😅. Congratulations! We are pleased for you.
The new van looks really cool. I really like both setups. They both seem to have unique benefits. Looking forward to seeing how you guys settle into the new one. 👍😎
I'm over the moon for you k&c the van is lovely and cosy but with all the bits that make life abit easier comfy bed cooker and alot more room than little red looking forward to new adventures can't wait😊
You both are so lucky I'm retired on ill health. And my beautiful misses is working a shorter week so we've been looking for a four berth 4x4 campervan but the price of some are so expensive. But we need extra room because my parents and in-laws be doing some holidays with us. We love the isle of wight but with the van we could go anywhere. Thanks for all your videos each one was a inspiration please be safe.
Let the VANdimonium begin..................how fun , new digs ,,,,,,our biggest adjustment when we traded up a few years ago was to remember our new height . We hung a short ruler on our rear view mirror for a while to give us a visual when choosing parking garages etc. When sitting inside we would often see people pointing at the ruler with a perplexed look on their faces as they walked by . We could only imagine what they thought ! I was going to say my usual "" oily side down , shiny side up"" but there's no oily side yet !! ha ha see you soon ,,,Cherryl from Canada
Yes it’s a critical consideration. I am a bit hyper about it at the moment. Tree overhang when reversing is also one to watch. It’s got a very nice reversing camera 👍
This has been a long time coming. Now get out and enjoy. And when you arrive at your next height barrier look at it and say 'we will take our money somewhere else'. I really am so happy for you two. Enjoy enjoy enjoy. Take good care.
I am very jealous.My 540 is still on order. Should have been February delivery but now looks like April. I wish I had seen Consort before I ordered. You both look very comfortable.
Sorry your van has a delay. We know what that feels like. Lucky for us that delay allowed us to find Consort. I am a bit stunned that they gave us a date when it would be ready and it happened as said 👍
Aren't those fabulous rear window wrapping around just ever, ever so wonderful! Notice your elbows and arms rest comfortably on the upright cushions back there I just love that. Remember in "Beloved Little Red" opening a small curtained window to see what the new day looked like, or opening the side door to see.....now you have colossal wrap around windows...just stunning.
The van looks absolutely amazing. Well done to you both. Looking at the number of positive comments so far, I think you are going to need those two weeks just to respond 😂. How do you remember to put the step away before driving off and have you considered small folding bikes to allow you to leave the van and explore. As you say, your last van could go anywhere. Oh, if considering folding bikes, it’s the torque you are interested in (70-80nm) not some ridiculously high wattage. 🚐🎁🥂🌍👍
Yes this video is doing well. I think we are in a different sector now with the bigger van. Step automatically retracts on starting the engine but we will get into the habit of manually retracting. We did the whole bike thing years ago when we had caravans. Great fun but a pain in the bum carrying all the security gear you need to stop them getting pinched. Don’t want them on the rear and the garage is too small for fold ups. We will use taxis if we don’t want to or can’t access somewhere with the van.
Congratulations in getting your new van. Looks like you'll be much more comfortable and more room And et cetera. I bet it will be different When traveling because there will be places You can't get Into Because of Size but I know you'll work that out I am going to miss the little red camper
Looks a great van, very well appointed! One tip i would give is to get mirror protectors to save scratches or damage to the mirrors. I got them for my ducato and they have saved me a couple of times, minor scratches are easy to polish out of them too
Hi everyone. We will do a proper van tour video once we are settled on how we will be using the van. That will be soon.
Wow beautiful,stylish van.Ken & Carol,just want to wish both of you the very best in your new van,kind rewards Eileen😊❤
Looking forward to that! Van looks really nice!
@@eileensinnott4501 thank you 🙏
@@lindao1327 thank you 🙏
Hi Ken and Carol we have the same van as your Little Red and we would like to know what make is your digital display screen on your dashboard with navigation and can you recommend it please thanks Carol and Bob 😊
Love the fact Carol can stand up in the van without have to bend her head over . Your van is lovely. Hope you have great journeys in it.
Thanks so much! 😊
Agreed 100%
I like the built in blinds over the windows. Nicely done
@@risingsun49 They are so much easier than the curtains we used to have 🙂👍
Congratulations on your new van! Wishing you a wonderful time and plenty of new and fantastic adventures with it!
Congratulations guys🎉
Looks nice 👍🏴
I love your van❤hope you will both have many happy times ahead of you.❤
Love you two and so pleased for you😍
Love you back ❤️
Congratulations, with your new van, it will be so nice for you that you can stand up straight.
Congratulations Carol and Ken, he is very beautiful and I hope you have many wonderful adventures 😉👍
Cheers👍
Congratulations 🥂 happy travels 🚐🚐
Carol and Ken, congratulations on the new van. I can almost smell the « new van » scent from here. Best wishes on your future trips! 😊
Thanks so much!
Beautiful van.❤❤
If you have trouble getting a signal in your lovely new tin box get a MiFi router, put it in a sealable zip bag and trap it in the skylight on the roof. Quick and easy and very often successful. I had an unlocked one and took several different SIM cards with us.
Great tip John. As you know as soon as the blinds get shut signal is lost 👍

We are not really finding that much difference with access now that we are used to driving it 👍

Thanks. Yes, Dan made it clear in the handover that the wind out awning should only be used in calm conditions 🙂👍
Wonderful video, van is fantastic. Can't wait to see more adventures 😀
Lovely job u won't know ur comfort many happy miles please god

Yes we will miss that aspect for sure.
