Great video, van and a lovely couple!!! We have a 67 with a pop top, not at all noisy or draughty although it has to go back to autotrail due to a slight leak!! Other than that we are totally loving our van as we can see you 3 are (can’t forget the doggy 😊) We only use our oven for reheating plated meals, takes an hour from chilled, one on top shelf one on bottom, I rotate half way through but they are steaming hot!!! Not sure if this is good or bad but it works for us. Enjoy your lovely van and looking forward to seeing more adventures from you, Carl, Jackie & Daisy xx

Looks nice and cozy for a little getaway.

Nice place we may look at staying Forest of Dean this year too. Ive got an Autotrail v line with same layout as you and like that set up. Did you get tv sorted. The one that came with ours is a avtex and it works well with the Gazelle aerial.

We looked at this van this morning, absolutely fantastic for our needs and, like you, a big benefit as the dog has his own travel seat 👍 congrats guys, hope you have many happy trips in it, it’s a gorgeous van. The only issue I had was I can’t fit in the seat next to the window in the dinette area as I banged my head on the cupboards above, but no issue as SWMBO can sit there. We will, hopefully, be getting ours soon - we’ll be having the 9 speed auto with the wind out awning and reverse camera fitted, no tv as it’s garbage anyway (only ever watch sport/movies so iPad will do for how much we’ll bother) and we’ll see how we go as to whether we’ll add solar at some point. Happy travels guys 👍

Dog loves her own seat, I wonder if they considered this when they designed them? 😂 Yeah terrestrial tv is a rarity nowadays but if we away and it’s raining we quite like it. You’ll love the van, happy camping 🚐

Hi, Michell the landlady at the pub lets campervans stay in the large rear carpark if you eat or have a few beers there and ask nicely, hope that helps. You can sign up to something called britstop to get a list of places that do it.

Thank you for the info. Very handy to know. 🚐

Hi Guys. Loved the video. Thanks for sharing your first trip. We have a 67 on order for collection December 24. Is there anything you would change or recomend.

[@vanessa_inthe_cotswolds]

Oh how exciting. We haven’t really had it long enough to recommend anything yet. But no real downsides so far 🤞

Looks very good and i like your approach to showing us about your trip - when you pan with your camera I think pan slower. Would like a few tips & a bit of a commentry on mpg / driving in the Forest ...

Get the park for night app, you will find parking anywhere in UK for campervans

It's a motorhome, not a camper van ! A camper van is a tin tent with nothing more than a sleeping bag 🤠 Haha. Your motorhome has , toilet, shower, hot and cold water, air con , electric power , central heating, oven , hobs , fridge freezer.... Deffo not a camper van

[@vanessa_inthe_cotswolds]

Campervans have come a long way haven’t they. It’s great what they have inside now. Not at all what people expect. 🚐
