We Try Out A Motorhome! - Bailey Advance

[@Spikeehair]

That cassette cleaner is AMAZING!!! Wish we have something like that in the US.

[@NomaddUK]

Great and yet realistic review. You are the FIRST to show the cassette toilet being cleaned. Bailey made a VERY wise choice getting you two to do their reviews. Thanks.

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Thank you very much for watching

[@xtrax38]

Excellent review guys, I'm looking to invest in on of these so your review was spot on 😃

[@carringtonscapers4368]

Thanks for a great review. We've seen many others for various motorhomes, but none which so comprehensively show what they are actually like to live in. The toilet cassette cleaner looked like really good idea too.

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Thanks guys. Glad you liked it 😊

[@kmac499]

Good to see you two and Bentley have patched up the 'April' Rift. I like the length ways drop down bed.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We liked the Bailey Advance range when we filmed it at the NEC in February. We'd go for the 74-2.

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Love your Star Wars Darth Vader Lounge Fly Bag 👍🏻👍🏻 and the van is awesome

[@m.b.g.musicproduction9658]

Great review guys! Very informative and good fun to watch!...............well done!

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Thanks 😊

[@Simon-390]

Good work , first vid I have seen in a million that shows a drop down bed with the bedding on it . Top marks to you both and answered a massive question for me 🙏😉

[@CarlJones14]

A very good video, good even bake, no soggy bottoms.

[@fifthwheelkeepsonturnin5wk384]

Great vid guys, good to see we aren’t the only ones with a sofa loving pooch that dominates the space

[@context_required]

Hi guys nice to see a new vid perfect for my lazy sunday in. Shame i didnt see this at the nec show but still looks really nice :)

[@Mrsdeanroad]

I love this type of review. Very interesting. Looking forward to more. 😎

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Thanks Dean. There’s plenty more to come 👍

[@williamdonnelly2705]

Great video guys, I have a Vantage Sol and love the rear u shape lounge. I think really needed for the UK weather. Cheers

[@andersandersen1870]

I am also looking forward for your next video on a couples motorhome

[@toptobottom247]

There is something soooooo calming about sitting in a good cozy RV when it's raining out. All you need is a good beverage, a laptop or pad, or TV streaming when you are not sleeping and slightly bored. Not a fan of the propane tho. I am a huge fan of all-electric coaches. I live in California, USA so we have a lot of sun so solar panels and lithium batteries is brilliant for us.

[@darrenross1271]

Ha, I stopped watching when I heard the alarm, I thought it was mine in the other room. Great Video and Bentley stealing the show as always!!

[@michaelireson8891]

Love the product placement 😂

[@sylviapage8572]

Great review and a lovely motor caravan. Good point about the screen between the sleeping areas. Useful for the dog but essential if you went away with friends or family. I’d be interested to know how it is to drive on the road and park up compared to the California. It looks massive and quite daunting to take onto the roads a little information on that in the next van review vlog would be perfect for me! Thanks again, I’m really enjoying your channel.

[@Tracertme]

A really good real world practical video, with illustration of use, which is exactly what everyone wonders about unless they are very experienced.... did you try out the smaller 2 berth model yet.. it really makes you wonder why the cali is so expensive, given all this standard kit... the plus is clearly the shower toilet and additional space, but the cali is on small footprint for driving and where you can leave it and park...etc..

[@chrissilcox7062]

Found you vids last night. Great we are from Isle of Wight keep them coming. Chris and jen🏆

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Thanks guys 😊

[@bbbaz1able]

Just ordered one of your stickers. Keep up the great videos guys 👍🏻

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Thank you so much Barry 😁

[@ArbitraryExploration]

Bentley is so sweet! I loved this video!

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Thanks 😊

[@keithbradfield7825]

I’m enjoying your videos

[@stewchesman5259]

Really good video guys, shame about the weather. Looks a very good range. Shame there is no awning

[@beermeupscottie]

Wow what a great price for your Cali. Could sell it for near that Now based on used prices I’m finding. The last price increases and delays in supply have boosted residuals that is for sure. (Love your vids have subscribed).

[@DalyGerard]

02/09/21. Just watched your video. Enjoyed it but a few things missed about Bailey Advance. The set up for same, and information about the solar panel and the Fuse box and solar charger to leisure battery. Operation of the fridge and cooker using gas. This I believe would be helpful in all cases that you review a motor home/camper van. Don't assume that your viewers are old hands at this! Just a suggestion.

[@tinajackaman8619]

Love it, but as you say maybe a little large for two and a hound dog!

[@fidelcastro9579]

I would love one. And a Bentley! ❤️

[@LFH02]

Great vid, nice to have a good look around makes that big investment a lot easier. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertoxley4997]

Great review

[@davidtaylorbfd]

We have too spell out walk for our dogs like you 😁.

[@ABusAndBeyond]

😂 we also have to say Treats really weird!

[@jeffchristie1541]

Another fab vid guys, lovely van but id rather have the campervan because of the parking issues and you can use as your daily drive so for those reasons its the camper all day long xx

[@justin.s9783]

Nice over all but to me the cassette for the toilet looked too small for 4 people. Good vid .

[@caravancol1]

great video but for me the best combination is full T5 camper and caravan. camper for wends short breaks, T5 camper tows caravan for main holidays and then you have the camper to take to the beach. this is what we do and if you look around its a combination that is starting to become popular. for me motorhomes as nice as they are are just not practical once you are on site like popping down the shops, access to certain car parks etc. great video guys but stick with the T5 .

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Yeah that sounds like a great set up you have 😊

[@michaelhodges2448]

Were I work we do a lot of Bailey motor home there getting very popular

[@RobinH8869]

Nice video - Interested in the next motor home test video - can you consider the 66-2 - which would be a closer comparison to the California. I think this proves the California's are overpriced - we converted our own T5 panel van for a lot less. As other people have mentioned and we mull over this every trip - although it's nice to have the space and the shower if you have something this big what do you do once you've arrived in an area to explore. The beauty of the campervan is the fact that you can take it (and park it) anywhere because it's car sized. We are considering changing to a motor home but it would be a 6m one max (Adria Compact SP etc), any bigger and there are whole areas of the UK where it would be much more difficult to explore - Cornwall, West Wales, etc

[@kevandrews4699]

Hi guys excellent review of motor home like how u took the time to show all round inside and outside nice van looking for to up coming video of the other van for couples do like lounge area at bak though some where to chill out good work guys all the best .kev

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Thanks Kev, glad you liked it

[@benvernick]

Curious if your still planning on reviewing the Kepler One? I could have sworn you mentioned something about that at the caravan show episode. I am dying to get a closer look at it! Great show keep up the good work!

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Funny you should say that. The weather had meant we hadn’t had a chance to film it when we wanted to but we’re hoping to film that this week.

[@benvernick]

CaliforniaCamping yay!!!! Can’t wait. There are so few videos on KZbin about it. I’m blown away by the Kepler’s design. So much in such a small space. I hope you’ll test out the shower like you did in this one. Curious if it’s useable or just a gimmick:

[@Ben-db5re]

I love your guys videos! There so funny and entertaining, Bentley is so cute :P

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Threelinkdave]

Afolding door, like the blinds, does not stop Henry, our Cocker Spaniel, who just barges his way through

[@samharry3390]

Ever thought about trying out the Swift Rio 340. Not too much larger than the Cali, and you have the drop down bed which would probably be good to keep out of the way of Bentley. And not too much of a de-similar price than the Cali or Advance. It is very similar to a van conversion of a sprinter. Same layout. In a motor home configuration Love your vids Keep up the good work!!!👍🏻

[@JohnJohnson-lu9we]

Great vid as usual guys. Did they manage to prize the Motorhome off you, or is it tucked away in a secret location. Hiring a T6 Cali in two weekends time, for 3 nights have booked in at Glenmore, which I know well, and Glen Nevis first time there for me on the site. Was meant to be a try before you buy on the Cali, but I've always stumbled at the final hurdle of price, cos I know what else is out there for the £53km and this vid has clouded the issue once more. Can't wait for the next review of the different layout. May I ask how old Bentley is, he's a beautiful dog, but he must take some cleaning after the muddy wet walks.

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Hi John! Will be interesting to see how you feel after you’ve borrowed one. Certainly something to think about with both options and you’ve got to get what’s right for you. Bentley turns 4 in May. And he’s good as mud falls off him easily! But he likes to be muddy. 😂

[@barbsblogs1563]

Great video guys just found your channel after a search for the vw California vids and filmed where I live glastonbury 🌈🐶🙌

[@bobparker637]

So when is the next Bailey adventure? I know you mentioned it the other day and it is June, so when can we expect the first video?

[@MC50000]

great review as always. the sound cut off near the end but no one else mentioned it so maybe it’s my iphone X??

[@johnmcfarland2055]

Wow, that vehicle is huge compared to the Cali. I can't imagine anyone driving that around the UK and I could be wrong but wouldn't something that big be restricted to some campsites? Watching you climb over that stile after Bentley made me chuckle.

[@ABusAndBeyond]

No it'll be fine for the vast majority of campsites. It just looks very big next to the California

[@context_required]

No the cali is quite small compared to most motorhomes and caravans you can park a tag axel swift kontiki easily at most sites so a 7 meter motorhome would be fine :)

[@bigjobby11]

Cant wait for the next one, good job guys, any chance you can do camper vans?

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Yeah no problem!

[@ahmedmahay]

How would you clean the waste cartridge without that machine? If you are not on a camping site, you are unlikely to have that machine close by. Would appreciate any answers.

[@teresaemmerson9599]

Great vid. Motorhome looks great, you have so much more space than in the camper. Was there any space for storing deck chairs/ bbqs etc. ?

[@ashlybrown5341]

The big question would you have brought one instead of the California think I know what I would chose lol

[@screwfixdirect]

Great vid as ever thanks. Did you spend much time driving this. If so, honestly what did you prefer to drive on our British roads.

[@ABusAndBeyond]

We didn't go that far in it but for the short trip we did take, it seemed to drive ok. It's like a big van really. Takes a bit of getting used to the extra width but it was plenty powerful enough

[@catemistruzzistaff7155]

Love the slippers, Lizzie! BTW, when you arrived back at the RV with a very wet and dirty Bentley, what do you bring along to keep the RV clean (and to clean Bentley too)?

[@ABusAndBeyond]

If the site has a dog wash we wash him there (as we did on this trip) however we usually just have to use a bucket and some dog shampoo and towel him off outside. Or we attach a shower head to a tap on site and wash him that way. Lots of options!

[@johnmcfarland2055]

Campsites should have a similar machine for two pound to stick such as Bentley in for a wash and blow dry. He goes in dirty in one end and comes out the other end all shiny the other (Kind of like a car wash) LOL.

[@roisinkeown1451]

Cate Mistruzzi I

[@FraserHouchen]

Would you swap the Cali though?

[@colinbailey5273]

Cheers

[@AdventuresofSarahJames]

Love the USB’s in the lights! Looks a great van if you’re wanting plenty of space and comfort 😁 nicely filmed too!

[@vince_martyn]

You have me looking for reading lights with built in USB, I had resisted up until now, but dimmers too!

[@shaunwilliamson9193]

Im limited to weight vans so must this weight?

[@darrenjones3681]

How did you find it to drive guys? Would you consider a rear lounge van conversion like the vantage/iH/swift/autosleeper/wildax ect, I really like the shire conversion medium wheelbase mid lounge rear washroom as it has a large area of dog space by the side door, though the rear lounges just seem more cosy

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Yeah we had a look at those van conversions at the NEC and they looked great. Especially the Hillside Hopton

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

18:30 😂

[@Bigchaser01327]

Was the fridge a 3 way or 12 volt compressor, I'm guess 3 way as you didn't mention solar.

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Yeah it was a 3 way. There’s no solar panel on the Motorhome. Though that doesn’t mean you couldn’t add one yourself.

[@marilynwisbey9446]

Lovely information ... 👍😃

[@samharry3390]

Which do you prefer California Camping? Obviously the channel name would have to change. But would you change to a motor home if you had the chance? Great vid anyway. Keep up the good work!

[@hendersonjp]

Another ace one ,top class review , note ,we always travel with an expandable child gate.so when we want the dogs confinded to one space it comes in very handy.SUN SUN ,we need more sun .Top class vehicle thou .

[@kimpearson2490]

Why have you changed your channel title ?

[@keithbucknall]

We are a family of 5 do you think this would be a good size for us

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Hi Keith, yeah it would definitely be worth a look 👍

[@buddywheels]

Nice review guys but push button spark ignition fridge??!!! Who are they kidding?

[@colinbailey5273]

Hi what size gas bots and how many cheers

[@ABusAndBeyond]

I think it’s 2 of the 13kg Calor bottles

[@v.w.productions4834]

You guys coming to quirky camping?

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Afraid not as we’re both working! Looks good though! Enjoy!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Just re-watching your Bailey videos, hoping to pick up some tips. :-)

[@johnhilton1360]

Great job.... Same money....?? I definitely know which I would be buying and it doesn't have vw on it sorry x

[@flybyairplane3528]

This really seems great, but there are zero Peugeot agencies in USA, they pulled out , when airbags were mandated, and was a loss, vs units sold here.

[@victorkent768]

An interesting model. Not as cool as the California though. Not so easy as a go to work vehicle. I do like the bailey as a better tourer

[@Simon-390]

Subbed , no worry , 😉

[@colinbailey5273]

Just right

[@ivanbull275]

Crash tested these motorhomes ...? Seat belts OK but the seats look vunrable in a accident unlike the vw

[@MrBaden87]

Please don’t take offence, it’s a valid point don’t you think ?

[@ABusAndBeyond]

It was pretty rudely put.

[@ABusAndBeyond]

What?... you accusing us of being disrespectful to the product? Not really valid at all... we used blankets and towels everywhere with our dog when necessary. We were told by Bailey to use it how we would our own vehicle. If you were buying a new Motorhome... it wouldn’t be this one because it would be new and if you are buying a used one, you don’t have a clue how it’s been used. So I think your point was rude and not true

[@petehenley01]

I sense a new Channel -Adventures of Bentley and Bailey .... BB rather than CC lol

[@ABusAndBeyond]

Haha! Bentley was very popular at Bailey HQ!! This wouldn’t surprise me!!

[@odd_job_007]

Motorhomes are practical but thats it.. its just practical. Its not as cool as a campervan :) Also i'm hanging on to my youth so i'd never (yet!) consider a motorhome lol.
