Retirement (redundant?) isn't so bad Mike/Trish. My hubby and I enjoyed 14 years before he passed away in 2020. We traveled, went camping and boating and just enjoyed our time together, which we never regretted. You both seem healthy and happy and I wish you both many, many more years to enjoy your life and retirement. Folks in the US are hesitate to switch over to electric cars because they can only go so many miles w/o charging and we don't have charging stations (hopefully yet) to accommodate them.
@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot2 жыл бұрын
Hi Sandy, sorry to hear that about your hubby. It's true what they say, life is too short and you should make the most of it, so we have now come to realise that early retirement and redundancy was actually the best thing that could have happened. Folks here are the same, the infrastructure to support electric cars and RV's is not nearly enough for everyone to be replacing their vehicles, and the cost of electric cars is sky high.

Looks great! Love the roof. I don’t understand though why all campervans have these glass topped units. I’ve seen them get frequently broken getting in/out of pop top. Can’t use them as worktop either, not heat proof. Doesn’t make sense does it? Would be much better if stainless steel, heat proof, could use as food preparation surface too. I’ve seen one van Owner that had a wedge shape rubber drainer mat that fits on top of hob section and drains into sink that’s a good idea. Would be interested to know if there’s anything you’d change. Enjoy your adventures!

Hi MK, I agree the glass is not great and I don't know why they use that, ours shattered in our Scarborough video and the company replaced it. If I could replace anything it would be the base of the pop top bed, ours is just a board but you get sprung and slatted ones now.

Yes but just a small 100w panel on the roof, still, enough to top up the leisure battery.

David Elliott has share the link to this video on the "Wellhouse Leisure"-Facebookpage and that's why I watched it. Thanks for making and sharing! I would love see more videos. Suggestion: video of the bits and pieces that are inside when you travel + things you want to buy. And maybe a video what you like/would change after a few trips made.

hi, can you advise me the measurements of the loading space when the rear seats are pushed forward just behind the driver's seat . I'm mostly interested in the width and length on the remaining loading area. Thanks for your feedback

Hi! I'm in the US in North Carolina living full-time in a Motorhome (Class C) which I've had since 2006. I love the Toyota vans and wish this style was available here. I'm also of Scottish heritage on my Dad's side and love your van's name! Your dog is adorable. I have a little Maltese. It will be fun to follow your adventures.
