    We ordered a Lusso 2 18 months ago and we've been away numerous times since. CERAMIC coated it once home using Gyeon Wet Coat for around a tenner and leaving it immaculate vs dealer £400 to do same 10 minute job.
    Keep up the good work and thanks for the video

    Glad you like the caravan. We picked our 2018 swift up last yr an all the electrics wouldn’t work with our car and the atc. Was there ages while they sorted out the black box. Then we dropped it off at the storage yard an went away a week later. Picked the caravan up and it was saying solar over charge battery. Then towing it to site noticed the brake’s squealing like you wouldn’t believe 😡 then the first night the fridge was beeping as can’t put to much in the fridge door as the fridge thinks the door is still open as can’t pick the sensor up. Then on a fully serviced pitch water was leaking in the caravan as some seal had gone on the tank under the seat. And agree with the sink 😂 am a wagon driver so suffer with bad back but hate doin the dishes in the caravan the sink nothing like our coachman was. Anyway sorry to go on 😂 but hope you get everything sorted 👍 mines still not 100% but will hopefully goin back to a coachman next year 👍 enjoy an all the best you pair

    We bought a brand new Elddis efficency 550. We had few faults missing shelves in the fridge. Awning guide rail out of line problem erecting awning. Plus other small issues. Dealer was not very helpful once we paid our money for the van.

    Please is it possible to remove the background music? So much better when it’s natural sound. Love your videos

    • @paulandsarahcaravanlife
      @paulandsarahcaravanlife  Рік тому

      Hi there 😊 thanks for watching and commenting ☺️ I will look at removing music from the next video that might or might not need music. It's only that sometimes, if you have extended quiet periods in a video, it helps the video move along. But yes, I will look at it. I'm not saying I will do it for all. By the way, lovely caravan, you have. I hope the bbq was enjoyable 😉 and the scenery there in your video was outstanding 👌 thanks again, Paul and Sarah

    Just out of interest Paul, what year is your new caravan?

    • @paulandsarahcaravanlife
      @paulandsarahcaravanlife  Рік тому

      Hi Colin. Its 2016 model swift challenger 580

    • @colinmossman8812
      @colinmossman8812 Рік тому +1

      I have a 2018 Celeste 480 se (challenger with a fancy name). I bought it privately in April this year. On our first trip I had problems with the Sargent command system showing fridge errors. I researched online and found a blog where a chap had had a similar problem with a 2018 caravan he bought new. He found the answer, which was to open the rear vent on the outside if the caravan. Inside is a little box, very much like a telephone connection. If you remove the plug it disconnects it from the Sargent panel . I did this, and my fridge works perfectly now. Hope this helps.

    • @paulandsarahcaravanlife

      @colinmossman8812 that's amazing 👏 thanks for the tip. If I ever get that problem I will certainly have a look at it. Thanks again Paul

    Sold a 22 year old caravan, fridge worked perfectly on car car electrics then bought a 2016 swift and every thing works on car electrics no probs . So I'm intrigued, your old van was fine so it's not your car. Did you get to the bottom of it

    • @paulandsarahcaravanlife

      Hi Keith. No not yet its goes in this Saturday coming so will be done. Like you I thought that my car worked on old van. We will see. Thanks for watching and commenting 👋 Paul and Sarah
