Autumn Caravanning in the Bailey Phoenix 650 - Part 2

[@dawngreen4074]

This is turning out to be a real success...kids, wet weather and no TV... but a great weekend had by all. Brave souls. Lol. How did the 'munchies go down after the chilling? Loved the sneaky eats whilst doing the preparation for the munchies....

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

So kind Dawn! Ah the kids loved the Rocky Road, so did we adults 😀. They love making and crafting things so seemed a nice one to do with them, plus it's super easy to do. Thanks for following along, Part 3 out tomorrow evening. Andy

[@MyBigTOW]

Always look forward to your videos as they show what families should really be doing. Spending time together and having fun ! Without the TV is even better !! Great music on this too.

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Thanks so much! Very kind of you to say, I really enjoyed putting this video together and pleased with how it has come out! Thanks for the feedback on the music, noted! Andy

[@CaravanGossip]

Great vid guys. So much fun had by the whole family without a TV. 👍🏻

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Thanks Iain ,we had a lot of fun and playing cards with Finn was great. Not sure we'd manage much longer than a couple of nights away without TV, maybe we should try it over Christmas 😂

[@Cryten100]

I like that site, stayed there a couple of years ago when we had a tent. We pitched opposite the park. It's a beautiful walk in to Stourport, passing the private moorings. We plan to stay there again soon, only this it in our caravan. Love you videos, looking forward to the next one.

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Cheers Steve, it's a lovely site and somewhere that we will hopefully return to in the summer. I can imagine the Rally field being full most weekends. Andy

[@Brooksontour]

Great Vvlog as always Andy, looks like you had a great time. Looking forward to the next one

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Thanks Ann, Part 3 Live tomorrow evening 😀

[@markandtraceysmotorhomeadv2345]

We have been to that site it was lovely and a nice walk into town. We got a puncture there in the motorhome and had to call the AA out to change it. It was full of Wolves fans which was the only downer ,lol

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

It's a lovely site, we really like it there. Need to head back with the new Caravan! Andy

[@lensmanonline]

Great video Andy, a brave move leaving the T.V at home looks like it paid off as everyone looks to be having great fun. Best wishes Jon

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Cheers Jon! Actually, the TV was in the boot but shhhhh don't tell the kids! Hehe. Thanks for watching, hope you're keeping well. Andy

[@trevorcork1088]

Nice one Andy looks like the kids had fun just goes to show they don’t need devices to have fun 😃

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Thanks Trevor, back to the old school way! It's the first time playing cards with Finn, he loved it and watching it back really made me smile. Thanks for watching. Andy

[@lizleonard3681]

Enjoyable video the kids have more fun without a television makes it more of a holiday TV games and mobiles are ruining their childhood 😀

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Thanks Liz, they all seemed to get along ok without the TV, little did they know it was in the boot! Andy

[@victorkent768]

Very pleased the no tv worked and shame on you not using van showers before. Next off grid please

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Yes the no TV was great and we all managed without, which was good to see. Something we'll take into this year and try and encourage more. Ah well the shower thing, the shower in the Elddis is a wet room and I don't fancy showering with a shower curtain sticking to you the whole time... Off grid is definitely on the to-do list this year! Thanks for watching. Andy

[@holidaysinthehumma5108]

Nice video with good weather..keep them coming..👍gets us in the mood for next trip at Hogmanny..

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Thanks very much, Part 3 coming Thursday I hope 😀. Have a great Hogmanny! Thanks for watching, Andy

[@CaravanningwiththeCoxs]

Great video without the TV!

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Thanks Oliver, old skool ways! Love it. Andy

[@CaravanShorts]

Really enjoyed this episode Andy and shows how much family fun can be had without electricals! you'll need to teach us that card game you were playing, looks a goodun Site looks great too and bet that rally field would be ace in the summer to get everyone around. Not sure how much Bruno liked his shower though :-) Jon

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Cheers Jon, this was a pleasure to put together and my favourite video of the year I think! The card game was chase the ace, we'll have to go through it soon! See you soon. Andy

[@CaravanShorts]

Yes mate I think Sarah and Tristan would love this one, I can feel a Christmas chase the ace coming on! 😉🍻🎅

[@NG-cb7he]

Great video as ever guys. Good to see going back to basic families doing things together. With regards to Bailey Caravans do you no constitution of floor and if it is still wood. I no that the swift is full fibre glass. Good to see reviews internally and have watched many videos from shows but it's good to no if it going to last. The floor of a caravan is the most exposed and the first thing to rot away, I had a caravan 5yrs old floor gone 2011 model. Any way guys keep on caravanning all the best.

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Hi Neil, thanks for your comment. We had great fun making this video and really pleased how it has come out and of course been received. So many lovely comments. In answer to your question, I don't know and haven't been able to quickly find out. I will endeavour to find out - probably put it in the description of Part 5, the review video. Thanks for watching. Andy

[@NG-cb7he]

MakeWayWithTheMorleys sorry for spelling mistake Andy but you may of understood it's meant construction,, Just one other thing is I don't no if you have ever noticed that when you remove the fridge vents on most caravans and probably motor homes. There's a removable plastic water drain container. This is just pushed onto a pipe with a small 8mm plastic exhaust pipe. Every time on all the caravans I have owned including Bailey Valencia I fixed a 10mm copper tube to the plastic container and silicon. This allowed water from the fridge to vent to the floor outside. This isn't a big job, but if you don't do it you might as well chuck a mug of water behind there every time you turn on the fridge. On average amount of the water would of otherwise just spilled behind the fridge onto the floor?. Next time you use your caravan just remove the fridge vents and just see how much water is there. All the best

[@kevandrews4699]

Hi Andy and Kate another great video looks like u having fun have to say like the bit where Kate said u were hot and she couldn't get bak to sleep after I wonder .??. Nice one .kev

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Haha, let me tell you. We left the heating at 20 degrees and it was boiling! Thanks for watching. Andy

[@thomaswatt1658]

Great vlog again.i think its better without tv as you have shown.i also think its great they let you stay on longer,some other sites should follow suit

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Thank you Thomas, I'll let you into a little secret - we did have the TV, in the boot of the car but didn't tell them 😂. It was fun though making our own entertainment. Thanks for watching. Andy

[@toottoot3492]

Good vlog guys 😎👍🏻👍🏻. Can see u treating Kate to a new Bailey 😬

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Thanks very much. It’s been fun making the videos and we do really like the 650. We’re in a different Caravan in the next couple of weeks so we will be looking to compare! Have a great Christmas. Andy

[@RollingwithTheRobsons]

Another great video there. It's useful even though we been away for a year and a bit in the van seeing little ideas for the children. See you are now using an M50 do you think it was worth the outlay for it?

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Thanks very much , well hopefully we've given you some ideas! Yeah I love the M50, the image quality is a big upgrade I think. Don't get me wrong, the best camera is always the one that is always with you and is charged up! Thanks for watching. Andy

[@HowardB54]

Enjoyed the video as ever Andy, once again grateful thanks for taking the time to do these vlogs , I know the time involved and I for one appreciate all your hard work. Interested in your collapsible “aqua roll “. As a regular user Of fully serviced sites I have the float mech for my aqua roll but at the end of the day you still have to cart a 40 litre plastic tub around. Where did you get the small device you had in the video? Thanks again and Happy Christmas to all the family Howard

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Cheers Howard, this series has been a pleasure to put together and the response has been brilliant. I have to say though, I'm looking forward to the Christmas break and not getting up at 5am to get an hour and a half's worth of editing done in the morning before work! There's a link in the description as to where you can find more information and indeed buy a Fresh Mini kit. This is something I've had an input in developing along with fellow KZbinr Dan Trudgian. Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year! All the best, Andy

[@dawnallard6841]

Nice vid. What was the card game you were playing with Fin?

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Hi Dawn, thanks very much. I think I may have given some duff advice in the comments earlier and said "chase the ace", it's not. I'll endeavour to find out the correct name! Andy

[@spanners100]

Great video, what was the card game you were playing ???

[@MrJona7han]

gerry raddie beat me too it, I was wondering what the game was as well.

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

We were playing chase the ace, might have to bring that one out again. Finn loved it! Thanks for watching. Andy

[@spanners100]

Thanks for that, it looks great fun. Must try it out on the kids over christmas.@@MakeWayWithTheMorleys

[@sandrabebbington4422]

Love it, oh indignity for poochy 🙂

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Hehe, ahhh he loves a rub down 😂

[@hettysmotorhomeadventures4860]

Great video, as it’s a loan caravan from Bailey aren’t you worried about any accidental damage or spillage happening or are the company fairly relaxed about it happening? Bruno is looking great, see you in the next one 👍

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Thanks Martin, yes we were mindful of not trashing the Caravan! Can't believe we've had Bruno over a year already, the time has flown by! Hope you're keeping well. Andy

[@hettysmotorhomeadventures4860]

MakeWayWithTheMorleys he had his little op a bit too early

[@colinkuga8314]

sorry in advance for being stupid, but do you take the extra pipe/ hosepipe with you or are they part of the hire charge?

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Colin, no need to apologise. You'll need to take pipe with you, I use PVC pipe as shown in the video as water drains better and it has some rigidity. Also, if you buy two lengths of different diameter you can alter the length without using a hacksaw!

[@TheTrudgians]

Just catching up now, Really enjoyed this one Andy. A great weekend indeed !

[@MakeWayWithTheMorleys]

Thank you 👍
