@GaryHumphreys-m9b Hi, it was the 5th & 6th August we left on the 6th. 😁

@@mentonish lol me to 😅

@SuperHatters1 It was a great campsite, we always enjoy not booking and just seeing where we end up. 😁

Yes I recognised that viaduct too lovely area of the Dordogne. Been 3 times to that area and stayed on Le soleil plage at Vitrac just down the road from where you stopped for night we had a great riverside pitch and so peaceful. We use la bien assise as well. Was there in June great site near to Calais for tunnel etc always seem to get big pitches and food great at the restaurant too.

@dafarmer21 it's a great site isn't it 😃

@donalgalvin5838 Hi, it is the Avtex tourer 2, based on the Garmin. It has all the CMHC and ACSI sites already programmed in. It's a great Sat Nav for both the UK and Europe

@mulberryaddict938 Sometimes it does, but we always ask when we call. Only once have they said no to our Twin Axle, but even then, they recommend another site close by that would take us.

EMUK do a universal fit set Colin, I purchased them for my latest car as I got fed up selling specifically made ones for peanuts. Whilst they obviously aren't as good as the specific model version, they are really good

EMUK mirrors are great ... highly recommended

@colinbennett3433 I have been thinking about the EMUK mirrors. I will check if they do one for the MB GLS. For now, I just purchased a replacement mirror off Ebay.

@iainmclean8509 I will look to see if I can get them from the GLS

@@paulefc1971 Thank you worth knowing. I will look into it.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. I have found it to he a great cool box. Especially when we are holidaying in France as an additional cool space to supplement the Caravan Fridge.

@@Shekaila Thank you for sharing your experience. 😁

😃

@mikewheldon2440 All locks, no matter what could be overcome with skill and know-how. For us, it's about adding additional deterrent along with the other security measures. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

@@HOPESGAMINGYT No problem 😁

@lindacosh4675 It really is amazing. It's a lovely area as well. We are planning on stopping there again for a few days. Thanks for commenting & Happy Camping

@mentonish Thank you, and thanks for watching

@overthehill1986 Hi, thank you. I am currently planning the Vlog in Essentials before you travel to France. Hopefully, I should be able to publish that in the next few weeks.

@@CaravanEscapades101 that will be brilliant many thanks

@kenperrin8582 Hi Ken, thank you. The drive to Spain was only just over an hour, and the coast road was amazing with some great views 😁

@CaravanVlogger Thank you, Graham, If you hadn't recommended them, I don't think we would have gone, and we would have missed out 😄

@ryanharris4964 lol Thank you. I also enjoy the French Cordial "Syrup." I bought a few different flavours back with me. 😅

@@CaravanEscapades101 I actually forgot about the syrups, that takes me back they are great 😊

@ryanharris4964 They sure are, I especially like the Mint one. Claire and Darcie-May don't like them, so I have them all to myself 😁

@@CaravanEscapades101 ahh yes the Menthe Syrop ! 😂 however it is spelt. even better if the girls aren’t keen more for you 😂. 👍 great vlog as always James.

@ryanharris4964 Thank You 😁

Very true got me out of a situation I would never been able to get my van on pitch without it.

@@mulberryaddict938 I can't agree with you more.The motor mover has got us some great positions on the french pitches. I love the way in France on the pitches. You can literally put your caravan any which way you want and also put anything you want on the pitch?

Before you change the front and rear ones, try spraying some break cleaner or similar in the tow hitch to clean them, they may have become contaminated. Also your Tow ball does need to be clean and shiny but not super smooth, As this could cause the pads to slip and creak. The Ball does need a slight Key (Roughness) to is. If you are using a Wet & Dry to clean it, maybe use a slightly courser grit sandpaper to add a bit of a keyway. You could also remove the pads from your town hitch and give them a light sand this will help as well.

There is, Just on the left hand side as you drive through the entrance, you can use this as well if you want to use the Café and are not booked on the site.

@@CaravanEscapades101 Thanks, we go on Friday and want to have visitors.

@@Ruckus223 No Problem at all, If the Visitors Car Park is full there is a Pub "The Shepard's" very close with a large car park.

@@CaravanEscapades101 I might park in the visitors car park early and get our visitors to come onto our pitch. Thanks again.

No Problem see below, First time we went to the Viaduct we Camped down in the town by the River, 🙂.

I understand that it's not great. it was one of the very early videos when I had just begun vlogging. I will probably revist and do another one when time allows. thanks for sharing your opinion

Yes Front & Rear as well as Side Pads.

@@CaravanEscapades101 thank you

Hi Arthur, thanks for commenting and sharing the great tip with us.

Thanks great to have you on board, hope you enjoy 🙂

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Hi, Get in touch with them they may be able to help. Thanks for watching,

Hi, That's while on hook up, If you want it to work on an inverter You will need one powerful enough to do it, What is the Wattage Rating on your Inverter. The Nespresso machines can require between 1Kw and 1.5Kw, so that is quite a big inverter,.

Thank you for commenting, I couldn't agree more :-)

@CaravanTrails Thank you, How exciting, 1) New Caravan 2) Trip to France. You will love it. Lol, yes, me and the Rome lapse or tjr Mic isn't connected, lol.

@kenperrin8582 Thanks Ken. 😁

@ryanharris4964 Thank You

@rossharrison6178 Good Question, We do try and park in the dedicated Caravan spaces. However, these are sometimes taken up by other cars and trucks, so we do go in the truck spaces at times. If it's late at night, we do go with the trucks or near the actual service station. Hope that helps.

Hi I use the Avtex Tourer II, I think there is a III out now. Its a great Sat Nav, Its based on a Garmin System. Has all the ACSI & CMHC sites across Europe programmed in. You can set your Set up size in it, So no worries about going down a little road or narrow lane. You can swap between Towing or Not towing so it can be used all round. It covers all of Europe and we have been using it for about 4 years now with no issues at all. Hope that helps

😂😂😂. I should have filmed him he was a modern day version

No we didn't, I didn't know about it and didn't see it, That's a shame as it would have been good to go and sea it, Maybe Next Time 😥

@richardocallaghan5309 Hi, Richard, thank you for your kind words. I have about 2 or 3 more vlogs to share on this year's French trip. I just need to find the time to edit and upload. It's what we love about not planning any of our stops and using the ACSI app. We have found some great little Gems, Happy Camping James

@mrwilliams.65 Yes I had no issues with Toilet Paper 😁

@@CaravanEscapades101 Thank you

@CarlH-r6v No problem, Avoid Paris, and all is fine, so much more relaxed than the UK. I am not saying you won't get Roadworks and Hold ups, but they are very few and far between.

Hi David, I have, I have had Titan Fans fitted to my last 3 Caravans, so yes, loads of experience. I honestly wouldn't have a caravan without one now. yes, we had it fitted before we went to France. yes, the fridge performed far better than when we went to France without one fitted. I had the fan on Manual and turned up to max, it was very quiet. I also ran the fridge on gas as that helps as well. I hope that info helps.

@@CaravanEscapades101 Thanks for that James. Really helpful 👍

@2Old4Toys Hi, you would be able to connect this to a power bank if you added the correct plug needed, possibly 12v Cigarette stye. Also, they also do another type of fan that might be more suitable. I did a vlog on it here. I hope that helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5LZYqGYq8x1pJYsi=_foeKmwOCtHMydil

@brendafradd1054 do.you have an awning rail. If so, I don't see why not

No we don’t have an awning rail. The awning is presently zipped on!

@@brendafradd1054 It probably won't work then unless you can get someone to add a zip for you. Sorry

Hi, 2 Quick Tips lookout for and get an Emovis Tag [Toll Tag) make it so much easier. Also for the cost of them and price of .ind get a Crit Air Sticker for yiyr car. this is for entering clean air zones. The best tip I can give you is enjoy it driving over there is so.muxh easier with a caravan and so much more fun.

Thank you, I will try and get the others edited as soon as possible 😁

@lindenbradder7895 Hi, I appreciate your perspective! While I understand the nostalgia for the Feast of Lanterns and the different venues, I think the current setup brings its own unique charm. Costs might have gone up, but hopefully, the experience is worth it for everyone involved.Also, seeing the infrastructure, tgat gies into pace that can't be chhep. what do you miss the most about the old format?" I would love to find out as this is our first Torchlight

@@CaravanEscapades101 lm afraid after going many years to the feast of lanterns to different venues all over Great Britain and l May ad,been to many goose fair meets at Walesby,we only live about 12 miles away,l think for £300 plus for a musical wk end,when it was the feast of lanterns it was a lot cheaper,they still had talent on in the various marquees and a good trade showing,plus where ever it was held, l suppose we and a lot of others had a holiday either before or after in that particular area,which in turn helped the tourist economy in that area.PS lm a musician but would not pay that sort of money for what is essentially a musical wk end.Sorry for being long winded but l think we have seen the best of the club.Enjoy.

Thank you, I will get them edited as soon as possible and uploaded. if you loom at some of our older vlogs, there are previous France trips on the channel if it helps. 😁

Hi Its Called the ACSI Card, hope that helps
