    Please ignore the silly comments about your revenue. Sadly you will always encounter envy. You both have full time jobs, you both work hard with these videos which are TV quality and you entertain us for free. Concentrate on your true audience and ignore the trolls. Both of your channels are brilliant.

    For condensation if parking up for a time in winter/cold times is to use salt, put in some little bowls/containers around the van in open draws, by windows etc and it works a treat

    Liking your content and surprised more people arnt subscribed. And shocked when you mentioned someone liking your vids but not subscribing or liking because they dont want to fund your life style. We brits do not need a tv licence to watch youtube. Which is all i watch nowdays with being mostly skint. So i thank you for giving me something thats enjoyable to watch for 20 plus minutes here and there.

    So glad I have my old type licence. Our local (ish) dealer, leaves ALL the motorhomes unlocked and are happy to let us go into All of them. Obviously they are looking for a sale, but it's nice to be able to get in and check out all the differences between them all - even the ones we know we can't afford, lol!

    We had three motorhomes over thirty years , kept them for ten years and then traded them for new ones. On all three we got half the original price when we sold them on after between 50 and 75 thousand miles each. Only had problems with build quality on the last one , an Auto Sleeper Amethyst which went back to AS three times to sort out a lot of build problems. Not sure I would pay £80,000 or over for a new one today with all the build problems that get reported in the press.

  • @drivingthefrontier
    @drivingthefrontier 2 місяці тому +3

    Yes, everything you say after 18:00 seems to ring true as far as our experience goes. I think families will still be looking for multiple sleeping options, 4 and 6 berth but lots of people now only go away with their partner and island beds and single beds at the rear seem to be very popular. Rarer finds - ours is 6.49m and has an island king-sized bed - do keep their value. Ours is now new £75810. It is 3 years old. We paid £55,000 (as ex-demo) for it and they are now around £59,000 on Autotrader via dealers for the same age and mileage. So, I think, similarly, we haven't lost anything if we sold privately but if we part exchanged through a dealer we might only get £45k plus if we are lucky. Everyone's situation will be different but we are glad you weren't disappointed. Keep up the great, natural videos! (we don't get paid by UA-cam!!! haha)

Great video content and editing and it takes some commitment to keep on producing them especially to the high standard you do. So many You Tubers fizzle out after a few months. 😀👍

    We were in a similar position to yourselves thinking we needed 4 travel seats to restrain our dogs during travel. On the Fiat Ducato there is a bar under the seats that we use to restrain our 2 dogs using a restraint that is designed to go over the headrest. We’ve gone from 6m Motorhome with drop down bed to 7.5m with a fixed bed that we found too big for what we enjoy doing and now we have an Autotrail 6.3m panel van with rear lounge that suits us perfectly. Love your vlogs by the way can’t wait for the next one 👍

    Hi again I bought our first motorhome 8 years ago after cashing in on our classic vws …anyhow I sold our motorhome last year to upgrade to a newer model with more space … I put it on motorhome depot and sold it to a dealer before it was advertised on motorhome depot website they send new sales to dealers first 👀 I sold it for £250 less than what I paid for it 8 years ago and I’d put 40,000 miles on it ….😊 I was proper happy 😃

    Glad it passed. Interesting facts about the cost of new vans and how much it has depreciated in 1 year. The difference is you like your current van and it suits your needs, it’s just the decals that you seem to not like, but that’s just cosmetic and it can be sorted.if you want Andrew to sell his body Claire, wait until it’s a bit warmer. He could do a photo shoot between his bike and St Chris with Dora and Pablo, and sell it as a calendar. Safe travels.

    interesting observation on depreciation. At some point in the future the vehicle will be scrap and worth very little. That cost will be borne by the owners, probably quite a lot by the first owner and the last owner but at what point is the big drop in between ?

    Yep if you buy carefully the depreciation is minimal depending on how long you keep and maintain - I’ve the same with my motorbikes some of my mtb’s (sold one earlier this year for 5x what I paid for it 20 years ago then again it was a unicorn) and our current caravan should in theory break even after 5-6 years which is when we’ll be probably looking at a motorhome option and it would have to be A class as long as I can get it reversed onto the drive

    It's interesting to hear that you want to move away from a drop down bed to a fixed bed and we have an Elddis Encore 250 with fixed island bed and want to have a rear lounge and a drop down bed. For you, what are the negatives you had found with a drop down bed? For us we didn't appreciate that when we viewed the Moho tge island bed didn't have any bedding on and was pushed back which made it appear there was lots of room. In reality when the bed is fully extended with the bedding on there is little room to walk around the bed. We do love our van, But every van comes with a compromise but would really like an end lounge.

      Hi. Yes we agree, every van comes with compromise. We want to be able to have a cuppa tea in bed more easily .. sounds silly really.

    As things are at the moment, I don't think it wise to be swapping vehicles, unless you buy a used caravan as well as keep your Motorhome( happy wife, happy life ;-) ) . Even then maybe hang on to what you've got already.
    Great to hear yours is keeping it's value though. and it's not cost you anything for repairs etc.
    Pimp it up and get new decals, it will be like having a new van without all that extra expense. Just my opinion.
