Have you an update on your Starlink use? Is it working out well? If you get partial obstruction, how does it perform? Have you explored temporary mount options for the roof?
@CaravanVloggerКүн бұрын
I have been mounting it on the roof, just lifting it though a skylight and running the cable through a window. Its been working well. The only downside is the cost
@nealeTHКүн бұрын
@@CaravanVlogger have you a bracket for the roof or is it just ‘free standing’? I currently have my eye on the new Starlink mini.

I looked into upgrading the payload on my Swift Sprite Major 4SB. I found out that I could only upgrade with an additional 38kg for £65…it’s a lot of money for so little additional weight. I’ve also since learnt, that had I had a Coachman Caravan, I would not be able upgrade if bought one as a second owner. You can only upgrade the payload on a Coachman from new…how weird is that?

Il pleut (eel pleugh) it’s raining, from my school French. We went to Villandry years ago when our kids were young and got soaked too. It was so long ago we were wearing shell suits! They did dry quickly. It was one of our favourites along with Chenonceau because of its history. Loved the vlog.

I think that's the one you can god on a boat ride under the arches. I might be mistaken, she's the history buff…

We caught five guys (travellers) trying to nick one from a local storage facility. They had towed it across a field and hit a mound and were struggling to move it over it. Got out and confronted them and was met with a barrage of abuse. Called the police thankfully they were nearby and were there in under a minute. They fled. 2 were arrested immediately. Caravan was returned albeit slightly damaged

It's funny as we are going literally 7.7K down the road to where you were. We are at Domain de la breche. I once went with twin was told to find Pitch. Said it was too tight and hard. They came outside and then said not allowed a twin. I then I moved to other side of site. There was a massive 9m long van next to us. So was alright. I was stressed as had to go around Paris and the sat nav took us near charle de gaulle then the road we were meant to take was shut but wasn't on sat nav. Three kids and a big twin it was a bit stressful. Just drove south until sat nav finally realised we could go back to main road.

Been here many times in the past and always found the people lovely. The town and Abbey are famous and worth a look. Locally there’s a town called Brionne which has a Sunday morning market which is fabulous. I bought real home made black pudding made with proper blood and not powdered “stuff” as well as 25 scallops for £17 and home smoked bacon. Stunning feast for £25 for two. The quality was way above anything you’d ever expect from a shop. Brilliant. 👍🏻
