Van is looking great JT, don’t blame you for going with German engineering. That encounter with the mud could have been a whole lot worse, glad you made it out ok. I carry a couple of cheap alternatives to the maxtrax. Maxtrax are around £280, I paid about £30 for mine. Bit too cheap to put on the side of my van but they’ve certainly got me out of trouble. Loving the videos, what a great family you have 😊👍
Thank you for your kind words. You're right, it could have been a whole lot worse, but it turned out OK, just... ! It did make me think about the track boards being a valid extra on a heavier van, and not just about looking good!
Saw loads stuck and damaged pitches when we were in France during May/June. Just think the ground hasn't dried out this year with the amount of rain France has seen as same as us in the UK.
You're right in some places they were definitely complaining about how much rain they have had this year. Part of it was definitely that we were at the bottom of a steep hill. We will know for next time...
Your obvious delight with your new van is very uplifting. However, adding milk before you brew your tea is unforgivable!🤣
Brilliant ! I knew that would get a reaction, we must be from different parts of the UK ! Thanks for watching and getting in touch, JT
Yes I second that 😂😂 it's just wrong to add milk first lol
@@CampervanJourney Always milk first😀
@@GanderTravels Absolutely !

Fab ❤ did leisure first add those decals for you? They look very smart 🤓
Yes, we gave them a couple of designs and they used a local company to create them, we are pleased with the end results !
Do you have 4WD ?
Nope ! Just front wheel
Drive and all season tyres …
