Yes, the Morocco mat, we loved ours, nice and cushioned - we also used the clips on the outside, they’re great. Looking forward to the fish n chips rides. Cheers, Andy and Kim.
hi andy & kim yes love our mat too , we had a nice mat before but some idiot banged the pegs in thru the mat itself ! oh that was me 😂 , well that mistake cost me the mat so … wont be doing it again , thanks for watching and commenting 👍😀 mike & kirsty
Great little update Mike. Who was that good looking fella at the end? He didn’t seem to know what he was talking about 🤣🤣 Happy Birthday to Kirsty and hope to see you at the Norfolk Motorhome Show 👍🏻🚐 Trev
that good lookin fella was my mate 👍😂 , hopefully we’ll get to the show but its looking like it might only be a day visit if we can get there at all , kirsty said thanks for the b’day wishes cheers mike & kirsty
Hi ya Mike and Kirsty. About time with the basket bike back, think I know what its going to be used for.🤔 Can't understand why you might get cold with lovely Kirsty to keep you warm.😉 Great vlog guys. Keep it up and stay safe. Pete and Su.
hi pete & su , yes about time its been too long , think I’m going to have to get fit again 😂🚴🏻 , well kirsty cant keep me warm as we have a certain 2 dogs between us that dont stop fidgeting 😆👍 thanks for watching the video mike & kirsty
Hi Mike & Kirsty. At last you have a bike rack! You must be so pleased to have found someone with the nouse to take the job on. Enjoyed your catch up vlog, will look forward to your next trip.
Hi Mike, enjoyed your upgrades and fixes, the screen cover looks good, I like that it folds very small, we’ve only a six metre van and the silver screens would be difficult to store. Yay, bike will be up and running for your chip shop run. We are off to Pinewoods at the beginning of August on your recommendation, looking forward to the walks through the woods to the beach. We’ve been to Wells before such a lovely seaside place to visit. Thank you for sharing x
hi julie thats great news really hope you like pinewoods it’s one of our favourites , so much to see and do , yep the bike will be back in action on our next trip and all the rest from now on thanks for watching the video all the best mike and kirsty 👍😀
Whoooa ! Woop ! Woop ! Bike rack fitted so E T bike gets away at last. I love all your videos but this one has made my day , we wait to see who is most rusty ,Mike or E T bike ? Nice video you two lots of useful additions to your van there, they always put the heater censer in the wrong place , should be low down where it gets colder. ( just saying ) Lovely to see Trev helping out ,you eastern county boys stick together I can see . Great to see you are enjoying your van even if it gets cold in the New Forest ( my part of the country) I live in Winchester ( not the posh part may I add ) ! Super video and nice to chat ,take care both 🚐👍
hi eric oh yes i remember you saying once you are from winchester , lovely part of the world , im definitely more rusty than ET , i need to get fit again to ride it 😂 , lots more chippy runs now , well every video from now ET is back with a vengeance 👍😀 , yes makes perfect sense having a temp sensor along the bottom , kirsty says thanks for the b’day wishes take care mike & kirsty
Hi Mike and Kirsty, I think we’ve spotted your van?? We’re on the Pinewood’s touring park plot 76, we may pop and see you to say hello 😁👍🏻 Richard & Vicky
Kinda jealous that you're off to Wells. It's always felt like home to me since I first went as a kid in the early sixties, and I've lost count of how many times. Love the place. Ah well, our trip to Bath and then Dorset, starting next week, will have to do. Happy birthday, and enjoy the run out.
cheers steve yes i have to agree it takes a lot to beat wells , although we have done dorset , 2018 before i started youtube , charmouth & west bay , not done bath yet , thanks for kirsty’s b’day wishes and have a good time next week mike & kirsty
Glad the rack is on “fish n chips” videos! We have the same screen cover, heat will be too ambient to kick in, test with a fan on the sensor or an ice cube by it…. 👍
Great little catch up and lots of good purchases, I would love one of those mats. Great to see you eventually got the bike rack sorted so fish and chips without moving the van 😁. Following your lovely videos and those of Helen and Martin’s Motorhome Treks, we’re off to Norfolk and Suffolk on Monday 😊 I can’t wait. Thanks as always for sharing a great video.
hi sylvia yes finally got that job out of the way , the mat is great , whenever its flat and dry , we use it , we’ll be going to norfolk wednesday eve , we’ll hoot if we see you 👍😀
Glad your sorted with the bike rack 😎 Some great purchases, I might have to have a look at those seat covers 😎 Happy birthday to Kirsty, hope you have a fab time in North Norfolk 😁 When will you be venturing north? Em x x
kirsty says thanks for the b’day wishes Em , last time we ventured north was scotland in 2019 , pre youtube days ! but we’d really like to do the north east especially berwick , holy island etc x
Having worked in control systems I find it bizarre that the truma control unit doesn’t display what it thinks the temperature is, displaying actual and desired temperature would you think be the norm 🤷♂️. We have a Vantage Sol and a few times have had to keep nudging up the heating set point to get it to come on way past what our separate temperate display shows , so I would say it’s not a fault just a lack of info on the control unit.
Hi keith yes sounds about right and makes sense , i agree it is a bit strange why truma have yet to introduce a current temp display on the facia panel , we were not used to the truma set up although we have had blown air in prev vans , the carver cascade to be precise, it took us ages to get used to the off set control and thought we were doing it wrong all the time , it was way off
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel hi I don’t think the offset is worth playing with I leave it at zero and never touch it , according to the manual it’s to match the sensor location temperature to the general room temperature but how can you when you don’t know the sensor temperature 🤯🤪
ohhh yes its the return of the chippy run & fish n chip cam 🎥 😂 , im actually looking forward to finally getting back on the bike ! fun times ahead 👍😀 cheers debs
@@peterjones1483 Hi pete , i noticed they started adding those USB ports there from 2022 onwards so when we took our van to vantage last year to add a second solar panel and an extra plug socket down by the sliding door entrance , i asked them if they would fit them , they said yes easy job since that’s where they will be from now in a most models
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel thanks for replying, we are looking at a 2020 plate locally so bingeing your videos again as Vantage been on our wish list for a while

Nice to see you back😁I've missed you(but don't worry my aim will improve)😂😂😂
cheers jim 😂😂 , thanks for watching the video

I had a similar problem in the caravan with the heater. It fixed itself and was told it had something to do with ambient temperature
yes thats what someone said yesterday; makes total sense as there were no codes coming up

Charmouth's nice, but we're heading further east this time. Not a part of Dorset we know.
Whoops sorry I didn’t say HAPPY BIRTHDAY toKIRSTY 😘
