Useful. I was also looking for some kind of evaluation of the typical optional extras that are offered with new vans; things like carpets, fly screens, solar panel, rear camera, better mattress, automatic gearbox, etc.
I totally agree with you regarding the pans and the plates from IKEA, I love mine! So impressed with the Quishion we bought two straight after watching your video!
Some great stuff there guys, you can’t half get a lot of stuff in your van (I have to be selective on what to take 😀) interesting on the Starlink. I did like the clip together kitchen stuff too. The Ridgemonkey fire pit/bbq looked clever. Have a great week, all the best David & Rachel 👍
Hi Roaming Radford hope all well if I could have the opportunity just to explain about the comment that some how ended up on your video this comment was made for another UA-cam channel what happened was any of the video I watch like yours I before to use Chromecast up on the TV if I'm going to make a comment on a video I'll wait until the end of the video like I did last night and before I new it some how your video was on the TV Chromecast have a good habit for this 🤣🤣 and comment ending up on your video was made for wandering bird motorhome adventures channel so sorry about that but if it was your birthday hope you had a great one 👍
Hi, really enjoying the videos and working backwards through them at the moment! Can you tell me if the Tomtom you use has vehicle specific speed limits on the screen (as does my old snooper) or just the normal road speed limits? Thanks
Brilliant video both, really enjoy seeing these accessories vids, i like your magnetic knife holder Lynsey, i didn't think you'd be open the hob top on our vans with it there but clearly it does, great I'll get one! Also like the ring for security, brilliant thanks again xx
Great overview of useful accessories. Maybe next a list of things you bought but which did not turn out to be used or useful afterall. Especially new motorhomers tend to get everything just in case but I have come to a conclusion that you should not buy anything before you have actually needed it at least twice.
hey Lyndsay I agree I have no idea about vpns......... But we use Surf shark always..... reasonly we travelled to Europe and the uk, BUT I always connect my surf shark to adelaide australia...................... work so well. thank you.
@@RoamingRadfords Brilliant, thanks for the quick reply. How do you manage outside the UK with the euro laws on having a filler on the outside of the van. We have the standard 2 x 6kg calor and have been looking at options for a refillable system but never seen these before which looks like a great compromise so you can have both. We are looking at going into France for the first time in Sept.
Hi Steve totally unrelated to the video I have a benimar mileo 202 and the graphics are somewhat faded, would yowser graphics. be able to replace like for like and If so are you able to advise on possible cost to have it done?, many thanks in advance 😊
Hi guys, very good video as usual, one question, the thermal screen cover, is that on your website or have I missed it in a previous video. Thanks and take care, Mike
Great video today. Love all the gadgets. I have already got the ring stick up cam installed but was looking to get the door bell one, could you tell me how you fixed yours on please. Was it drilled ?
Hey guys, you had a mosquito repellent machine which you attached to your rucksack whilst out and about. Please can you remind us of the details? I can’t find the video or see it on your website / Amazon shop. Many thanks :)
Some great tips 👌. Can I ask about the quishions? Are you able to put duvet covers on them and still fold as cushions? I'm thinking of ease for washing when away for longer trips 😊
I notice that you have lightweight refillable gas bottles. I am looking at changing my for refillable ones but debating what ones to get. Either Gasbank or safefill, but you fill them from inside the gas locker, but some countries don't allow it. Can you give some advice please
We currently have 1 x 10kg Safefill and 1 x 6kg Calor bottles and that’s worked a treat for us. Sure I hear you’re not meant to fill refillable bottles in some countries but we’ve never had a problem and we’ve been all over Europe with them.
Q for Steve, we’ve used the link and bought the CFX 3. How long does it take to make ice and do you get any kind of notice it’s ready, can’t see anything obvious Second Q, we want to use it in our car (bought from tow-a-car your fault as well lol)for the Costco frozen food shop, it doesn’t appear to have a huge power draw, do you think the car 12v plug would be man enough to power it. Do you offer credit facilities for all the money your making me spend 🥳🥳
Hey Keith. I’m not yet sure how long it takes for the ice. It’s a small compartment that holds 2 ice trays and freezes so I’m guessing a couple of hours, but I’ll be testing it as we use it. I’m not sure on the power draw and if it’ll work in the car 12v, but I’d imaging it’ll be fine as I’m guessing that’s how most people would use it? Lyndsay says no about the credit facilities, sorry, I think she wants more leggings to wear! 🙄😉👍

I like the look of the chairs. My next ones will probably be the same. We've been through several over the years that all failed on broken plastic joints. It looks like yours are all metal? At the moment I have "fishing" chairs which are a bit cumbersome to carry.
Thanks for the advice, we are just starting our journey now. What is the main reason that you use the TomTom over google maps? As I have used google maps for years and its always be reliable.
Great video have already bought a few of your recommendations. Really love the wine glasses but sorry don't really want any names on them even yours, sorry! Which brand are they. Cheers
Steve great video 👏 how do you keep to the legal weight or total gross weight when fully loaded ? .i have swift escape 694 bike rack ,awning ,air conditioning unit ect .i have bother keeping to the 3500kgs gross as when i am over the 3500kgs i need a bigger license.i have the class one hgv license .but if i want to up grade to 4000kgs i need to get up grades to the axles.any advise.
As standard our van is 5 tonne, and we have a large payload, however we have also done the necessary upgrades and have also uprated it to 5.5 tonnes so we really don’t need to worry about our payload anymore. If you are over weight I would suggest looking into doing the necessary upgrades in order to uprate your vehicle to accommodate the larger payload.
