Izzy aka Keith absolutely 😉 Nice wake up for the tenters sounds like it was pay back! Well done Phil found aome great spots in what is probably oversubscribed Croatia. Lookong forward to the next 😊
Hi Karen, thank you 🍷😁 We thought so, and yes we'd have to concur with your "oversubscribed" description. That said, we'll definitely return... just out of season. 🙏 😁
Still wow wow wow! Again beautiful scenery and park ups. The colour of the sky during the thunder storm was crazy - I could feel the tension here! I love Heinz tomato soup - my favourite! Great video Rachel & David
Another fascinating glimpse into your travels. The risotto looked good, I guess I will have to get the cook book to try the world famous biryani. BTW, for some reason I only comment on your vlogs. It must be everybody else I follow are so-so, which is tough on the Expawers who are great, but there you are, I have put it out there. Can't wait for news of Tonka 2 - I am looking forward to following the build as it happens.
Hi Peter, I'm humbled, thank you. You've been a supporter from the start and it's appreciated, I'll definitely take that from you🙏😀 We're excited about the build and yes, we have progress on that front too. 🍷😀
Thanks for the video. Perfect for my lunch break! So funny, we took water at exactly the same spot on our way back. Brings back lots of memories ❤ Enjoy
Another Great video guys. If memory serves Keith Floyd once did a whole episode on the benefits of Heinz tomato soup. So absolutely no shame involved 😉
Great video again and that was some storm. The more I see the truck the more I want one! However the boss likes the motorhome and we are preparing for our adventure early next year. Thanks Dave
7:25 Just a beautiful bay. As always great video. 👍 ⛈⚡🌬🌧🌩😱 Even the storms look incredible 😮 Those water spots are cool. Sort of a hark back to slower travel times.
I’m blown away by your pictures and videos. Your truck seems to be going strong. What parts have you replaced so far. You’re doing hard core off roading and I assume you have gone thru many bearings. Just curious.
Thank you and appreciated, we replaced some rear suspension components last year, hub seals and a few hoses and five tyres, but that's it. The truck only has 60k miles from new and has had an easy life until we bought it, so it's been over serviced and we don't abuse it asit's our home on wheels. That's the beauty of an older pre electric MAN, basic but they just keep on going. Thanks 😊
Hey both, great vid as always. I said to Paul did he remember the storm the last time we were in Croatia? It was wild- I like a summer storm myself 😊 can see why you left the campsite though - far too packed for comfort. Are you going to Kosovo- it’s an interesting place to visit ?
Thanks Amanda, probably not on this trip as we want to visit Serbia, and having a Kosovo stamp can cause an issue or prevent entry (possibly maybe). I know it sounds ridiculous but we're up against time, we're meeting Izzy's son in Corfu in late September and then other happenings are err... happening 😉 But yes, it looks interesting so we will definitely come back at some point 👍🏻😀
Hi Phil I’ve seen all of your videos, enjoy them all. I don’t know if you have mentioned it in previous videos but, how heavy is Tonka and can you drive it on a car licence. Cheers.
Hi Ray, thank you. I think I've only ever mentioned it on the truck show round (one of our first videos), it's 8.4t gross vehicle weight so unfortunately, no you'd need a cat C license. 🙏😀
You could've bought a low mileage Man HX 60 RHD....with HD Aircon and more road presence than a jumbo......imagine barreling down the autobahn in one of these beauts.
Maybe, having spent 25 years in the army I'm more than familiar with the HX range, yes they’re extremely capable off-road and an easy drive with that auto box, but trying to get parts coupled with its diagnostics software in South Armerica (for example), just did'nt appeal. I also want a cut-through and didn't fancy the hassle of resiting the rad etc. If I was going to buy one, I'd have an HX80 in LHD
I would be curious to know how much you spend on average every month. Do you have a budget? Between diesel, camping fees, tolls, repairs. data and food & wine as well as one-off costs like dashcams it must add up.
It really depends on the country we're in, we try to avoid using campsites generally as we're self-sufficient. We've written about our costs , here's the link below: Thanks 👍🏻😀 thegapdecaders.com/cost-of-touring-europe-in-a-motorhome/

Hi both, thank you,
Yeah a bit of a crazy morning, but I have to admit to liking a good storm ⛈⚡ 😀.
🍅 👍🏻
Just found you. Very impressed with your video, thanks. WOW what a storm…love it. 😎🍷🚍⚓️🇬🇧👍
Hi Roger, thank you. 🍷😁
Impressive pictures of that thunderstorm! Thank you for sharing!
Our pleasure, cheers 😀
Welcome to 🇲🇪

Wow! You nearly swore, I DID swear, love a good thunderstorm, bit of karma for the tenters 😁😁
Those over cab bars are quite useful👍
LOL, without being horrible, we thought so too⛺😂
Yeah we wouldn’t want to be without them😀
Thanks for the video. Perfect for my lunch break! So funny, we took water at exactly the same spot on our way back. Brings back lots of memories ❤ Enjoy
😁👍🏻 what a coincidence, thank you 🍷😁
Another Great video guys. If memory serves Keith Floyd once did a whole episode on the benefits of Heinz tomato soup. So absolutely no shame involved 😉
LOL, well I didn’t know that 🙏🍷😁
Excellent video guys👍 looks beautiful there despite the downpour. Good plug for the cook book Izzy 😀. Looking forward to next weeks update 🤔.
LOL... Cheers John, yep she managed to sneak it in 😀👍🏻
Great video again and that was some storm. The more I see the truck the more I want one! However the boss likes the motorhome and we are preparing for our adventure early next year. Thanks Dave
lol, thank you 😁
Just sell it as "it is a motorhome, it just looks a little different". 🍷🙏 Cheers Dave 😀
@@TheGapDecaders it maybe a longer term plan and I keep tagging her into overland pages.
LOL, sounds like a great strategy 😁@@DaveH-t9s
7:25 Just a beautiful bay. As always great video. 👍 ⛈⚡🌬🌧🌩😱 Even the storms look incredible 😮
Those water spots are cool. Sort of a hark back to slower travel times.
I do love a good storm 😀
yeah it's full of those little bays, still relatively undeveloped which is lovely 🙏😀
Sounds like a base vehicle has been acquired :)
Hi Kev, possibly maybe 😉👍🏻
