Stunning scenery. Loved the music!

Thank you Chris! I spend hours deliberating...

What a spectacular journey! I felt like i was flying through the mountains 🤍 and the music is always perfect

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Jeannie... I do put a lot of time into researching tracks so it's nice when people notice.

Funny you should mention that Chris, I've just uploaded episode 6 which I think you might like :)

[@henriklarsen9616]

I dont suppose I could talk you into doing again in the summer, and this time include the Col D'Iseran. I was so dissapointed when I first came to Val D'Isere myself. Too many high rise buldings and too much tourism has ruined this place. I did love the barrage and the lake - its spectacular. The Col D'Iseran is pure nature and breath taking views. Lots of summer snow and melt water streams. It was lovely to see the drive up to Val D'Isere again - I so enjoyed the ever lovely lake before the gate like entrance to the town.

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Henrik! Yes, I would love to do the drive over the top in the summer.

[@juttapelzer6632]

🥰 simply stunning

[@annettefournier9655]

Thanks Andrew. Oh the flowing ice formations coming out of the rock face reminds me so much of New England. The ground water seeping through makes colossal ice . Always found it beautiful. 😊💖

[@namespacetoosmall]

Stunning!

[@libellula3313]

Thanks Andrew. Looks a great van. Brought back loads of memories as I was a ski rep in the 70s and know that road well!

[@Marianfehr]

Very nice and what beautiful Nature. Thanks :-)

[@goldenstardust]

Stunning scenery! Love Burstner Motorhomes.

[@larshelmin]

It looks so much better in the winter, no hailstorms and mudslides like when Tour de France was there in July 2019 :)

[@G-ra-ha-m]

Bavaria was lovely at the end of last year, while the UK and southern france was flooding north of the Alps was mostly in clear sunshine, only the odd day of rain :). The weather gets shunted around by the mountains in my view, often if it's bad one side it's good the other. I am liking the crisp snowscenes though, I'm getting itchy feet just looking :)

[@CaravanVlogger]

Very noticeable how clear the roads were (of snow I mean) considering the amount there was lying about. Thanks for sharing, fantastic scenery. Graham

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Graham!

[@itsantiagois]

As always, perfect music! That motorhome likes to travel she's behaving very well it seems.

[@andrewjditton]

Yes, the Merc performed incredibly well. Full review coming this weekend!

[@ncplantdoctor]

Certainly beautiful scenery on that drive, but I was happy to be watching from home as you showed all of the avalanche shelters. The element of danger was there.

[@royeirikandreassen6032]

Great video, very nice scenery, nice showing the journey and the mood of the journey with friends, very nice. 30 euros for a lunch, almost as expensive as in Norway, unfortunately. Finally, if you like this nature, then you have to come to Norway, then you get what you have now + the fjords, The coast of Norway from south to north is unique. Looking forward to the next video

[@andrewjditton]

I would LOVE to come to Norway. It won't be 2020, but maybe 2021...

Wow what a drive amazed how quiet the roads were but don’t like tunnels so I would not like to go through some of them but fabulous to watch thank you again 👍😘

Thanks Gail! A lot warmer where you are right now :)

[@henrybarnett1063]

Cool.

[@spinnekopje]

I want a dash cam in the camper.. We have seen some amazing views during our travels also, but no way of showing it to our family. There is nothing wrong with going back to the same spot, it is all about enjoying the experience :-)

[@andrewjditton]

Some of them are surprisingly affordable now, so why not? Thanks for your continued support :)

Spectacular scenery! Great music too. 👍🏻🙂

Beautiful area but whoah how little snow.

[@koshtie]

Hi Andrew looks amazing there, I must just say the small town you left from & came back to, I have never seen so many Zebra crossing in all my days ? they must love them there, ATB Wayne.

[@andrewjditton]

Ha ha! That was a town called Seez. I guess they have a lot of through traffic on winter Saturdays and folks need to cross the road! ;)

[@stephanemarjanski6151]

Hello Andrew, magnifique vue sur la montagne, super vidéo il manque Dougal.

[@andrewjditton]

Tout a fait, Dougal me manque aussi :(

[@itroy3039]

Stunning I do hope you're planning on Returning to Croatia some time.

[@andrewjditton]

I'd love to Troy, but I'd need more time to do the country justice than I had last year. But there are so many places I want to go...:)

[@paulandbiancaadventures3458]

It’s a lovely drive up to the resorts, we stayed in Tignes a few years back, long drive from the airport, but better than driving from UK as we’d done in a previous holiday. France isn’t for us though, we prefer German / Austria 😬👍🏼 enjoying the series

[@katcankan7129]

What a nice trip...good promo...Nice Merc...did you get much time for drifting Andrew...?

[@justingrunwald4431]

Hi Andrew fabulous May I ask a stupid question you we’re driving off snow, was it front wheel or rear wheel drive and I’m assuming the Burnster had winter Tyers on?

[@andrewjditton]

Hi Justin, it's RWD with winter tyres. Review coming Sunday!

[@prou5]

Stunning scenery, I take it the van was fitted with winter tyres as you manoeuvred on that snow as it wasn’t there...... or did you put something sticky on the tyres 😊😊

[@andrewjditton]

Yes, it had winter tyres. And possibly a scraping of peanut butter ;@)

[@alansimpson513]

Wow Andrew - gorgeous scenery! Can't beat mountains in the snow. And the music! -are you a friend of Hans Zimmer?

[@supergroups]

Hi, Andrew, enjoying this series with the Burstner motor home. I assume it came with snow tyres fitted, I don't suppose that you would be allowed into those areas at this time of the year without? Perhaps you could include a short piece on such issues at the end of the series when you do the full review? Cheers, SNG.

[@G-ra-ha-m]

In my experience german campers come with 4 seasons tyres with a 'snowflake' mark which means they are good for winter too. I think you are correct that it's winter tyre season on the continent - from October IIRC. I suspect you'll get fined and forced to fit winter capable tyres in Germany if you go there now without them. My advice is to always look for a/specify van with big wheels (16" wheels and maxi chassis on the Sevel base , the diameter of the outer tyre is far bigger, you get 2" extra ground clearance and better brakes). The bigger tyres in my view grip the snow better. The Mercedes base is probably one of the best for grip with that smooth autobox and big tyres.

[@andrewjditton]

Hi Stephen, I have already filmed the review but I do go in to a lot more detail there! Yes, they are winter tyres.

[@andrewjditton]

Excellent stuff Graham, thanks for responding.

[@cedricthorn3975]

Hi Andrew, had Burstner fitted winter tyres for you and are they standard on all new vehicles?

[@andrewjditton]

Hi Cedric, the one we used (French spec, German supplier) did indeed have winter tyres. But I would check with your local dealer - for example in the UK, winter tyres are neither standard nor necessary for most people. Cheers!

[@thetravellingcarpenter1621]

Andrew you were in front of my house at 7:39 😁 you should have called in , lunch is only €25 each at mine 😂

[@andrewjditton]

Really? We would have done... ;)

[@thetravellingcarpenter1621]

@@andrewjditton Yes it was in the background, but i am only there during the summer months as believe it or not i don't like the snow or cold😂 , so i go to warmer climates in the winter, and obviously i wouldn't have charged you for lunch 😉 Enjoy the rest of your trip in the Alps. Watch out for those tolls 13 euros 30 🤣

[@jimbobwoo]

Hi Andrew, I'm really interested in your comments about the extraction vents on the side that you sit out in. Are they noisy? Does any heat come out? I would if you could touch on this on your full review. Great scenic drive. Thanks.

[@jns8393]

I think you're referring to the two rectangular vents you see on the driver's side of the van and if so they are for the fridge/freezer. They are for fresh air in and exhaust gases (if running on gas). All MHs have them and there's no noise.

[@jimbobwoo]

@@jns8393 Of course all motorhomes have them. Mine has them, but they are on the other side. As you mention, one is obviously for the fridge, and the other being exhaust if gas on. Have you sat by these extractors when they are on? Gas vents let out a smell and would not be pleasant sitting outside and hearing it or smelling it. If the gas heater is on inside, I still want to be sitting outside in peace and with no smell. Didn't know I had to spell it out, but I hope it now makes more sense.

[@jns8393]

@@jimbobwooI didn't know your starting point e.g. you may have been American or not have/had a van, so was only trying to help. However the vent from the heating system or gas heater is not one of the rectangular vents I referred to.

[@jimbobwoo]

@@jns8393 So you presumed then rather than asking?...I'm fully aware the heating system vent is different to the gas heater vent, but you carry on splitting hairs if it helps you to think you are right in your conquest to prove somebody wrong 😉

[@jns8393]

@@jimbobwoo I went by your wording is all. Conquest? Not at all, but it's fine, I'll know what to do in future.

[@Sam-ch9mn]

Been looking at changing from Autotrail to the Lyseo range. But they are SO expensive and you have to pay even more for simple things like roof vents and extractor fans. Overall, beautiful vehicles but not sure they’re worth it.
