[@agibsonallan]

Having an automatic is a game-changer for a camper van makes driving so much easier and allows you to pay more attention to the maneuvering

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, helps you pay more attention in general I think.

[@patgillmore6969]

Definitely ! I am much more comfortable driving our 6 metre auto camper van than our previous van which was a 5 metre manual.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

You have gone up a notch with this van Bob and Jenny, definitely a wow factor and you will certainly be comfortable in the Kontiki. Looks beautiful and will be interesting to see how you adapt it with all your little mods and personal touches. Congratulations 😃👍🏻💙🚐 Trev n Sue

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, we'll be putting our own stamp on it. 👍

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thanks for taking me along. I hope for many miles of adventure!

[@wendlit]

Hello, Konnie! I’m so happy and excited for you both. Looking forward to your maiden trip! 👏❤️

[@joecam5130]

I find myself so very happy for the both of you watching you collect your new van. It seems like only yesterday you were collecting the last one and we were right there with you. I’m excited to see your adventures in Konnie and your shakedown tour. Of course not everything will be perfect with a new motorhome so seeing how you deal with the little things that need sorting by Todd’s will be interesting too. Have fun you two and Poppy and thanks for taking me with you.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, it would be unbelievable if everything was perfect, wouldn't it.

[@TheMotorhomeMiles]

Hello Konnie 👋 look forward to seeing you in all the future travels and what Poppy thinks to you 😊 Congratulations Bob & Jenny 😃 Stay Safe 😜👍

[@grahamdunn5888]

Hi Bob, Thanks so much for showing us your new motorhome, It looks really cool & we look forward to your new adventures in it. And, you made our day when you were travelling back home along Leyland rd as you passed the house were we lived 40 yrs ago alongside the Esso garage at Lower Penwortham. Brought back lots of memories for us.

[@MissK-ib7by]

Congratulations! Been watching your channel for years and am looking forward to viewing future videos with Konnie. Can’t wait to see how you organize your new motorhome ❤ Wishing you, Jenny and Poppy happy travels.

[@brianmcclure8012]

She's a beauty. Wishing you great adventures ahead!!

[@caveman3474]

What a lovely van. I do like some of the small details included. Good attention to detail ie the elastic to stop items falling out. Enjoy figuring out what goes where. But certainly a lovely van.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you very much!

[@user-tb4ff4xg6e]

Bob so happy for u both over the moon

[@Motorhoming_Fun]

Lovely motorhome Bob & Jenny thanks for taking us on a tour of it.

[@dion101]

Congrats on the new van Bob & Jenny, agree with the wow-factor this van brings and the automatic is a game-changer, especially when it is as silky smooth as it sounds! Huge garage is a massive plus too, so much easier to stay on top of the clutter. Top stuff and great video as always.

[@lindsaybenison813]

Congratulations, that looks like a beautiful motorhome, wishing you many happy miles and adventures in Konnie. xx

[@turbostream7925]

Lovely new van to look forward too. I wish you (and us viewers 😂) many happy trips away. Bet you both are pleased as punch, I know I was when I picked up mine in 2016.

[@Motormad196]

What a difference automatic transmission makes, great van, happy days!

[@maxine.9348]

Hi Bob and Jenny, hubby and I had to watch this together with big smiles on our faces just like you both have, we’re still waiting for a date to pick ours up, hoping it’s soon as hubbys booked a little weekend away in May to make sure everything is ok, I’m really hoping you’ll be doing another video about where you’ll be putting things in your new van🤞🏼safe travels😊

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes we will do a video once I'm happy with where everything goes. Enjoy your new motorhome!

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

[@lindahaynes3475]

Lovely Motorhome enjoy your new adventures and keeping making happy memories.

[@rogerlathbury9860]

Well done guys, lovely van, no wonder you were so excited. Just a couple of comments, the first is take out the duck board from your shower, it will certainly mark the shower tray and I know if someone who left theirs in and cracked the tray. Secondly, if you are going for a taller gas bottle, just make sure that the regulator is above the gas bottle valve.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for the tips!

[@davidjwack]

Many happy time for you both. Lovely motor.

[@jimmyconnolly3461]

Heated front windscreen too. I absolutely love this motorhome. You’re just starting to drive. Leaving Todd’s.👍

[@user-jz4ix8vu5s]

I sincerely congratulate you on the new van. And I wish you to travel a lot and please us with your videos.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you! Will do!

[@dianabelcher39]

Congratulations!!! thank you so very much for letting me accompany you on the very first drive, taking it home.... It really looks fabulous, so looking forward to many new adventures....🤩

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

You are so welcome!

[@rogermadeley7413]

Enjoy both...and Poppy of course.I did see her waiting patiently in her crate.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

She was very good waiting for us.

[@brumsgrub8633]

It's very lovely, hope you enjoy it and we will very much enjoy watching your videos in it. Something my boss has done with his, which he's found very useful is put some spot lights on the front, you the type mini cars used to have on them. He said sometimes on campsites the extra light has really helped out, driving down lanes ect. And they look pretty cool too, and not very expensive. Very useful i would imagine

[@tonymartin3780]

Congratulations 👏

[@davidmeakin584]

Beautiful van exciting times for the 3 of you and us the viewers enjoy 👍🏻

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We will!

[@hayard61]

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you! You too!

[@johnb307]

Great to see round your new motorhome Bob and Jenny it is quite a bus and we wish you lots and lots of wonderful trips and memories. We also picked up our new motorhome a couple of weeks ago and did our maiden journey up to the Moray Coast, it was awful weather, but it was great to be out and about. Enjoy ❤👌

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Congratulations. We're also on our maiden voyage and weather is similarly awful. Still enjoying it!

[@LeisureBit]

What a lovely van, bet you are both over the moon, you’ve even got us thinking whether we should go down the motorhome rather than campervan route for the next van. Enjoy, beautiful van - all the very best and have a lovely Easter, David & Rachel ❤

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We couldn't reconcile ourselves with downsizing, so we went bigger, only slightly. 😁

[@mark-hazelsmotorhomeadventures]

Congratulations Bob & Jenny the new Motorhome looks great . Hope you make a lot more happy memories in this van like you did in the last van Definitely a huge upgrade Best wishes Mark and Hazel

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I hope so too!

[@FergusNCasey]

Congrats and best of luck you guys.

[@Goldenretrieverandacampervan]

Great to see you both excited about your new home on wheels 👍🏻

[@johnlangan773]

Looks amazing Bob & Jenny happy travels

[@Splitty93]

Welcome Konnie to the Earnshaw family! Congratulations, she looks an absolute stunner. Can’t wait to see you out on your travels in her 😁

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you so much!!

[@margaretlewis177]

Beautiful new motorhome. I hope you have many happy hours in her. Xx

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you Margaret.

[@yorkshiremotoroamers]

Congratulations Bob & Jenny, your new motorhome is a beauty. Bob, you are going to love the digital dashboard, it can give you loads of information and it's full of safety features such as lane departure, and road sign recognition which I find useful. The steering is electronic, hence the light steering. There are loads more. We are sure you'll enjoy the many tours and trips in “Konnie” All the best KeV & Tracey

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, the steering is so much lighter, that's got to help on long journeys too.

[@Bitwobbley]

Enjoy your new Motorhome. It’s lovely.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you! Will do!

[@rosesevers5181]

Gorgeous 😁 happy travels x

[@leemurdoch4833]

Congratulations on your new van I am sure you will have some wonderful holidays in it

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Hope so!

[@alansalter1938]

I feel your joint expertise and experience in motor-homing has resulted in you making a fantastic choice of van. Congratulations on your purchase. So much storage ! We are still in our entry level van so i'm doing my best not to feel too jealous.

[@shaundevine8052]

SNAP !!! Great choice of name Bob. We called our new 794 Konnie when we picked her up earlier this year !

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Also because of Bob and Aileen's Westie, Konnie.

[@tonywilliams5821]

Looks very nice hope you make many more wonderful memories will be looking forward to the vlogs 😀

[@davecooke914]

Nice one bob and Jenny hope have many miles enjoyment

[@lindafielding6733]

Congratulations on your new van. It was reassuring to see that you were a little apprehensive to drive the new van given all your experience . I was terrified when I picked up my panel van conversion as I’d never driven anything bigger than a car but the automatic made it so much easier

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, the auto makes it much easier to drive.

[@marcel9688]

Dear Bob and Jenny, we love watching all your videos. So very inspiring. Never dropped a comment so far (but always left a 👍 of course), but today I felt the need to write some words… congratulations on your new motorhome. Looks awesome 🤩. We wish you lots of amazing trips with it and videos for us 😉. Take care and always have a safe ride, Marcel and Miriam from Germany 👋 …ahhh almost forgot… hugs to Poppy 🐾

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you very much, we appreciate your comments.
