it’s usually me that cant go anywhere due to work commitments, well it’s packed and we are all worried about leaving due to the ground being so wet and boggy it’s thick mud everywhere! tractors already towing people ! 😂
Nice van and they have made good use with the boot and extra overhead storage at the back. If I could have my time again I would be looking at something like that ( ah well too old now ) 🥲 Thanks Mike for a good review . 🚐👍
We were round there today, must have been after you because the grass is still green in your video. It was a muddy shade of brown when we got there!Thanks for all your videos, we’ve enjoyed quite a few of them now. Especially enjoy your nighttime astro shots👍
thanks appreciate you watching our videos , yes i went early this morn before the crowds , i’ll always do a night time lapse whenever there’s no clouds , which is almost impossible of late !
Nice one Mike. We looked at that van today too. Really like it. Good review as always. Said hi in the pouring rain earlier before we retreated to the Cambridge suite for the morning 😃💦💦💦
Excellent, practical review. You emphasised the important points such as the ‘boot space’ and didn’t labour the points that are ‘routine’…such as the exterior service points. Well done mate and thank you immensely.
That’s a great motorhome. We visited Vantage when we were looking at vans and loved the Sol and Neo, they didn’t have an Eos in stock at the time. It’s great to have lots of styles so we have a good choice to fit our individual needs. I love that there’s two options for extending the bed, that makes it so much easier making it up and getting in and out. We’re away in our Aztec XL and we love it. Not as high spec as the Eos but it’s perfect for us. I like the drop down sink and the deep back shelf over the boot is detachable and light so we can just lift it off and store our giant Duvalays in there. They have always been a problem to store! The dogs are in heaven on the bed. 😁 Thanks for sharing another great review.
hi sylv we’re your ears burning earlier 😂 i was at the devon stand earlier and we were all talking about you ! all nice stuff of course ! , i told them about your cake 🍰, lovley guys aren’t they
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel They’re great. Geoff always talks about you when we visit, he also has a Frenchie! I’m testing a new recipe for HermanFest this year but will also do the RR 😊. I better drop some off at Devon. Have a great weekend.
That's a cracking looking van, Mike. The boot storage would come in handy, but I'm not sure I'd choose it over additional cupboards and workspace inside.
yes a nice van rob loads of boot space , it’s all about our individual needs i suppose and what you want the van for , storage in a van conversion is always going to be a tough one , thanks again for watching 👍
The disadvantage of the Eos for us was the lack of the pantry/big cupboard hence buying the Neo. Will need to get used to it when our Med comes next month.
hi norrie but just think you can park anywhere you like in the med , literally anywhere , bianca has just passed 14,000 miles now and doing great , i think it was barely over 9,000 when you sold it back , time for us to start thinking about new tyres now and leisure batteries possibly, she’ll 5 years old soon !
hi guys yes was well impressed with that one , just met some viewers here at the show and they asked me if you two are here as they follow you as well , never got the names tho 😬
Hi Mike, very good review. been following your reviews and adventures for a year or 2 which are very well put across. Also, we are converting from a coach built to a panel van for pretty much the same reasons you explained - in fact you were a significant influence (thanks for spending my money!) as we were undecided. However, Elddis sold yesterday and Wildax Europa on order for October. Spoke with Vantage about the Neo but they can’t offer an automatic. Anyway decision made. Regards.
hi bob that’s a great choice we love wildax , well made and a good range of layouts , sorry you had to spend more money 😂 i often get blamed for that ! but we do love our vans and the positives will hopefully outweigh the negatives, strange that vantage can’t offer an automatic as that’s what i’d be wanting change to next time round , so not long now till yours comes and we wish you many happy travels in it and thanks for watching our channel it’s much appreciated all the best mike & kirsty
Hi Mike nice van are you going to have a look at the Consort Oslo if Consort are there it would be great to hear your thoughts on the Oslo many thanks Kurt
hi yes the cub is a very popular one , they would of course build it on request but as far as i know there’s not one available and not one at here at the show ,
Nice van, very nice van. It's almost identical in many respects to the Consort Motorhomes Reef XL with the exception of the fridge, This is unsurprising really given the origin of both companies and that the factories are situated within 10 minutes walk of each other.The Reef has a 90l compressor with bigger freezer compartment, its in the same location except it is at eye level with the wardrobe below. I'm busy looking for a new motorhome for about 6 months hence, I think. Im' favouring consort atm, because of the fridge and because they'll build it on Peugeot or Fiat and peugeot come in a little bit cheaper.
yes it was a nice van with a huge boot , we ended up with the vantage neo , smaller compressor fridge but we were surprised how much we could get in it , we had a swift bolero before we downsized with a 175L 3 way fridge and we seem to be able to get enough in the current smaller one , ( no gubbins in the back of a compressor fridge so it goes much deeper ) our van is the fiat but i’ve noticed vantage have started purchasing peugeot now
No disrespect Mike but do they pick this figures out of the sky for these vans? Wasn't a van person always caravaned so maybe I'm well out of touch but blimey does seem an awful lot of dosh mate! Atb😊
no i totally agree paul they have sky rocketed to silly amount’s , walking around the show today i was gobsmacked at the some of the same vans i saw 3 years ago for 10-20k less ! absolutely crazy ! total madness it really doesn’t make sense
hi tony just in that year and a half van prices have escalated tremendously, this year the same aztec xl was 64995 i saw it yesterday , when i did that review in june 2021 it was 53995 , the bubble has got to burst soon these prices on all vans are ridiculous
Thanks very much Mike, now I've got boot envy 😉
me too 😂
We couldnt go, stupid work! Was counting on you being there, thankyou !
it’s usually me that cant go anywhere due to work commitments, well it’s packed and we are all worried about leaving due to the ground being so wet and boggy it’s thick mud everywhere! tractors already towing people ! 😂
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel Oh fun and games!! Go careful! xx
Super van Mike, big storage space which is a bonus, but love your one. 😀
thanks perrin 👍
Smashing van Mike. We came to the show this morning,bought a few things for our trip to Scotland. Stay dry!

If we weren't full time and just used a van to tour that would be ideal for us 💜
yeah that boot was huge , storage in a van conversion is always a concern , nice van tho 😀
It was good to see you at Peterborough again. Worried that after buying your panel van I meet you by a fifth wheeler lol

This and the Devon Aztec XL were really close with us but the smaller kitchen was the issue (plus the shower curtain) lovely van tho.
yeah loved the boot size but lose kitchen top space
Another great review 👏
cheers chris 👍😀
Lovely van that Mike. If we were considering a campervan we would defo be interested , quality and well thought out design. Thanks H and M

Hi Mike nice van are you going to have a look at the Consort Oslo if Consort are there it would be great to hear your thoughts on the Oslo many thanks Kurt
i’ll go and see if there’s one here tomorrow, if there is one and it’s not sold (usually locked when sold) i’ll do a video 👍
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel thanks Mike appreciated
Great video 👍 Do you do any videos on the other vans they had there? I’m very interested in a Cub, but they are quite rare 🙁
hi yes the cub is a very popular one , they would of course build it on request but as far as i know there’s not one available and not one at here at the show ,
Nice Set up, but i do like the Slide out Rear section on the IH MHs
yeah those are nice

no i totally agree paul they have sky rocketed to silly amount’s , walking around the show today i was gobsmacked at the some of the same vans i saw 3 years ago for 10-20k less ! absolutely crazy ! total madness it really doesn’t make sense
Nice van, but I'll stick with my caravan for the time being🙂
lots of caravans here at the show this year where we are parked , i think we are all going to struggle getting off the grass 😬
Is it really worth 15-20k more than the Devon Aztec XL you reviewed a year ago?
hi tony just in that year and a half van prices have escalated tremendously, this year the same aztec xl was 64995 i saw it yesterday , when i did that review in june 2021 it was 53995 , the bubble has got to burst soon these prices on all vans are ridiculous
75k my word.
yes i was shocked at
the prices here today of all vans , no sign of them reducing any time soon either ! madness
