My wife and I spend six nights in Scotland. Starting in the highlands at Fort William then move to North Ledaig, Oban, Isle of Mull and finally head south to Loch Lomand.
@@BMC-hl2uh thank you. My content is all about out the history, landscapes and the caravan. Great to hear the feedback as it reassures me that I’m creating the right content🙏😊
Thanks so much for sharing your adventures. We watching them all. It's your fault we now looking for a basecamp of our own 😂and have a long list of places to visit. Thanks again kate and jon ps love your dog too makes us laugh stealing your sleeping bag every night 😂
Great views. Love your dog. We miss our blue roan cocker, gone five years now. He was the reason we started camping, and he loved it. I am impressed with your Basecamp.👍
Watching your adventures has made us very interested in the base camp, we have a motorhome which we love but sometimes it’s difficult to explore where a car would come in handy. We love Scotland, tour every year so was good to see the places you went to where we also have been and hope you get to do more in the coming years, Scotland is addictive 🤣 thanks for sharing your adventures
We have experience with both Camper vans and motorhomes so that is exactly why we bought a Base Camp. Motorhomes are far more easy than a caravan but you can be stuck on the campsite particularly in rural areas. The benefit then of course if you have your car. The compromise though is a caravan is a lot more work to set up and pack away. The Base Camp is a very comfortable and practical space and was affordable for us.
Amazing, the footage you film is fantastic really feel as if we are there, beautiful commentary absolutely love the adventures you go on, thank you for bringing us along, keep up the great work❤️
Tremendous! 👌 I know it'll be impossible to calculate but I wonder how many video views eventually convert to Basecamp sales? You are truly brand ambassadors.
Thanks for Sharing your most awesome, beautiful, informative videos😻🎬 you've covered the equipment, the adventure in Gorgeous Country sides + historical sites I'm in the USA Northern most parts of California my backyard is the massive Redwoods and the Gorgeous Pacific Ocean. We're campers to.
lol! No problem I feel the same about Welsh being mispronounced😀. I’m back to Scotland later this year so I will definitely work on the correct pronunciation. Thanks for feeding back👍🏻
Happened across your channel mate as I had searched for Swift Base Camp after spotting one in my village whilst out walking the dog and thought they looked like smart wee caravans 😉 Really enjoying your videos, glad you enjoyed your trip to my neck of the woods 😀🏴
@@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales dont miss out The Borders from your plans (many just drive through it to get north - i used to do the same in reverse going south). Really lovely rolling countryside and some fantastic wee towns: Kelso, Hawick, Jedburgh, Melrose, Peebles etc 😉🏴
Amazed at all the kit - bbq , pizza oven how do you fit it all in - we pick up BC2 end of month ( 2 berth conqueror at present) and worried we’ll never get all our stuff in
You will very quickly find out the Base Camp is a tardis! We only pack what we need. On our first trips out we where over packing on everything but now have it down to a fine art that works for us. Welcome to the Base Camp club… it’s great fun.
Great video. I bought a basecamp a week ago and I have found build quality appalling. Back door cant be locked from inside without someone pushing hard on outside. "Laminate" edges peeling off. Thin flimsy tape. Door is hung out of square and shut lines taper from 4mm to nothing. Bed wont retract. Shoddy.
There are complaints on quality albeit not isolated to Basecamps. There might be a couple of issues you have which could be user related. The closing of the habitation door is standard. It does need a solid rather hard pull from the inside. The bed retracting is an interesting one. Should be an easy fix on the warranty but it can get stuck if the bed isn’t properly aligned when pushing it back. That said, have you joined the Basecamp owners group on Facebook? This is very active group and there could be some solutions found there:- facebook.com/groups/swiftbasecampowners/?ref=share
Your videos are excellent and have been very helpful as we consider buying a Basecamp 2 - thank you. Would you say the Basecamp 2 is relatively easy to move around without a motor mover?
A motor mover is absolutely essential. If the ground is at a slight incline or the grass is long or soggy or your on deep gravel you can not move the caravan by hand for life or money. I wouldn’t leave home with out our mover.
Fort William...Thats about the closest space pitching i have ever seen for caravans on a site. I wonder if it really meets fire regulation spacing. Talk about trying to get as much cash per grassed area LOL. I just would not like others staring in your caravan windows like that.
Interested to know how much difference towing makes to your MPG? Looking for a Basecamp2 too which we can tour across Europe and take skiing in winter! However having some issues finding a tower to fit to a Peugeot 308 GT 2l diesel.. Bumper issues.. Any clues / suggestions welcome!
No probs. My car does an average of 48.5mpg. If I tow at no faster than an average of 55mph I tend to get around 36mpg sometimes higher sometimes lower all depending on the roads and weather conditions. For your tow ball, best ask the professionals at your local trailer centre. I’ve got the Westfalia detachable with 13 pin electrics. Was £700 fitted.
My favourite is the Vango RVA2. It’s a bespoke awning especially made for the Basecamp and look stunning on the back. However it’s not ideal for all situations.
@@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales you really do put the effort in on your travels. This kind of energy is contagious to your viewers. Brilliant video this, loved it!
Enjoyed that.I stopped at the glen nevis campsite last year.love the dog,pmsl she’s never on her ruffware sleeping bag.some cracking memories made on this trip👍
I know I looked at the price of them, I bought pip a ruffware harness for his trip to Scotland,I won’t be buy him a sleeping bag though,cheers 👍🐶@@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales
It's such a pleasure to watch a video which shows the scenery and base camp rather than endless face time with the creator of the video. Good job.
@@BMC-hl2uh thank you. My content is all about out the history, landscapes and the caravan. Great to hear the feedback as it reassures me that I’m creating the right content🙏😊
You must be one of the best film makers on UA-cam. I enjoy each and every video immensely. Thank you for the Basecamp information also.
Wow…. Gasp. That’s an incredible accolade thank you.

Fingers crossed you find the Basecamp you’re looking for. There will always be something to look forward too!
Great views.
Love your dog.
We miss our blue roan cocker, gone five years now.
He was the reason we started camping, and he loved it.
I am impressed with your Basecamp.👍
Great video again Nick. Scenery makes up for the rain. Looking forward to sharing your next adventure.
Love your latest Scotland adventure video. They just get better and better. Thank you for uploading.
From fellow Basecampers Carol and David.
Thanks Carol. Appreciate that… especially from a fellow Base Camper😊

I wouldn't attempt many Welsh place names so you're pretty well.
Your videos are excellent by the way.

Looks fantastic, from a very jealous onlooker :) im now off to buy a Swift Basecamp

Great vlog, you’re a lucky chap. I’m really struggling to find a s/h lightweight 12 footer. 😉

@@davidhall7744 thanks for heads up😎. Think I’ve been to Peebles. Stayed at a big hotel called the Hydro. Was on business up there years ago.

Fort William...Thats about the closest space pitching i have ever seen for caravans on a site. I wonder if it really meets fire regulation spacing. Talk about trying to get as much cash per grassed area LOL. I just would not like others staring in your caravan
windows like that.
I didn’t like the pitch it has to be said. More of a Motorhome pitch. Wish we had swapped it but after an 8 hour drive i couldn’t face the hassle.
Where did you buy your covers for the basecamp seats ? They look really neat
They were from Dunelm. They are sold out now I believe.
Nice caravan but come to portugal and u will have sunny days
Sunny days…. What are they???😂
Good video,
Off topic, how do you find the base camp over this hot period. Dose it have AC?
We where out over the weekend in 30 degrees and it wasn’t very pleasant. We don’t have AC but I took a large fan which took the edge off it.

Is it good for wild camping the base camp?
The basecamp can operate fully off grid. Although I have not wild camp in it as yet it’s something I’m planning to do in the very north of Scotland..
@@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales
That’s good as I’ll be wild camping more 🙂
What is your favourite awning for basecamo ?
My favourite is the Vango RVA2. It’s a bespoke awning especially made for the Basecamp and look stunning on the back. However it’s not ideal for all situations.
And another question if I may please, what is the setup you have to receive Netflix in the Basecamp?
I have a sharp, 24 inch smart TV, which I toggle with my iPhone
Thank you @@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales 👍
