Great to see you back. So sorry to hear about Fudge but what a wonderful life he had with you two and your adventures. Looking forward to seeing more videos. X
Friends of ours got stuck in France with not being able to use their automatic bed because there was a problem with it. That manual one looks so easy to use.
Had my t69l for over 5 years now from new and would not hesitate to replace it with another although they are budget they do the job and being lighter they give more payload against a premium models which reduce what you can carry . The front bed is also an optional extra so you can save about £1000 and 100 kg of payload if you only need 2\3 berth which is ideal for the two of us , Nice to see you returned and doing reviews so keep it up .
Always interested to see Sunlight reviews - I have a sunlight van conversion (sunlight cliff 600xv) and I have found the build quality to be good and the design well thought out - it feels really light and airy - love it and would recommend. Great to see you guys back on screen Karina!
We nearly bought the Sunlight I68, but in the end, the finish was a little bit cheap, the seat foam was not comfortable (too thin), and the cab noise was significantly higher compared to Dethleffs Trend or Rapido 866 that we tested at the same time. Having said that, their semi-integrated models are very good value. It's amazing that we're talking £73k for the standard version now, but considering the Adria Matrix Supreme has gone vwell north of 100k, and this even has the 9 speed auto, it's a great value motorhome. Sunlight are part of Hymer, now owned by Thor Industries in the US, and so Bürstner, Dethleffs, Hymer, Niesmann & Bischoff, Elddis, Etrusco, LMC, and Laika are all in the same company, if people haven't heard of Sunlight. Nice review Karina 👍🏻😁
Thank you for watching, having looked on an owners forum this sealant expanding seems to be quite a common issue and it also occurs on other manufacturers vehicles too. Some advice is to just leave it, it has expanded due to heat over time. Some people have tried to remove some of it. If you are concerned I would ask a dealership but it does happen when a good amount of sealant has been used to prevent water ingress and keep the joints sealed. 😊
Thank you for watching Keith..prices have certainly shot up..you wont get much new for under £70k..but it also keeps used prices high too. Have a good week ahead 😊
I got the impression by your expression that you werent that impressed with the manual lowering of the bed , and if so , I fully agree . it seemed lacking in strength and quality .
I prefer the electric version but it costs more and it does go wrong, quite frequently unfortunately, so sometimes manual is better. Its just heavy for me to pull down with not been very tall. Thanks for watching as always 😊
Thank you for watching Andrew, the build quality feels solid but it is quite simple so I understand your comment. Prices are high, when I look at some of my content from a few years ago it’s amazing the percentage increase. Have a great week and thanks for taking the time to comment 😊

We had a problem with one on a loan in 2020, think it was related to a fuse in the end, but it wasn’t ideal. Thank you for watching 😊
Good to see you back ❤

Thank you and great to hear from an owner to confirm about the build quality 😊
Great detailed review as always.. I like the big garage and the layout.

Thank you for your comment Sharon, I light the Adventure models with the silver sides 😍 We are glad to be back, have a good weekend 😊
I like the design of the drawer under the oven too, makes more sense than to have to push in an arm to retrieve pans of trays .
Yes absolutely 😊
Great review and presentation
Thank you 😊
Love the bin in the cupboard too
Absolutely 😊
Great video as always
Thank you John, have a great week 😊👍

Nice review Karina 👍🏻😁
Thanks Jared, prices have really gone up havent they! It looks like you have been enjoying yours over winter. 😊
Nice to see you back on the circuit. I was wondering by your views your pondering on buying one again.
Thank you.. we would be prices are too high now, we will see what happens, we may buy used again like our 2016 Coral 🤷🏼♀️ Have a good week 😊
Good evening Karina , looking good .
Thank you 😊 Hope you are well..
Could you please explain why on adventure edition V66 2020(team edition ish) - black sealant expanding on the corner of the box? How to deal with it?

As you say 73k is a lot of cash but in motor homes it's not and this fits everything I would be looking for with no compromises for me.

You're not sitting on that loo and closing the door are you.
Nice review but not impressed with the quality, the price reflects this and yes you're correct that prices are crazy right now.

£73k and you don’t even get a radio/infotainment system. 😬
Do you mean in the Fiat cab? If so I would have to check but that might have been taken out whilst it’s at the dealership.. thank you for watching 😊
It looks cheap and nasty for the price.
Thank you for watching 😊
