OUR SWIFT IS HERE TO STAY

We visit the huge Motorhome & Caravan Show at the NEC in Birmingham.
We love to check out all the accessories and gadgets, but after owning our Swift Kon-Tiki 650 Lowline for nearly 2 years, we check out what else there is on the market now, were we to upgrade.
We look at a CATHARGO Chic e-line 51 QB DA, the AUTOTRAIL Grande Frontier GF-88, the ADRIA Supersonic 890 LC and the SWIFT Kon Tiki 894 Highline.
We have always felt our van is the perfect layout for us, but every year, new features are being included in motorhomes that just makes sense - like kitchen drawers!

Riki, I can't believe you mentioned the back window not just once as well! Hopefully we'll join you next year, thanks for sharing, Rhian & Dai xxx

[@redsgotravels]

Enjoyed your take on the show, and yep, we will be keeping our van too, nothing there that we felt was worth thinking of a change seriously (except the ones we could never afford even in our dreams 😂) x

[@TheHillsExplore]

Ah thank you and yes - if money was no object then we could be persuaded!! 😜 Riki would love an enormous Morello but only he could drive it! And we would have to win a mega jackpot on the lottery but you can dream 💭 😄 x And also, where would you be able to park it in this country?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Austenadventures]

Our van has that funny aerial We have got used to it 😂 We made it into your video aswell ! We stayed in that pub car park Saturday night too! Great video

[@TheHillsExplore]

No way! I didn’t realise! You could have joined us for Biscoff Cheescake although we did end up staying to chucking out time 😂 It was lovely to meet you. It’s a great traditional pub isn’t it. Good food and fair prices 😊 xx

[@Austenadventures]

If we'd had known you were eating biscoff pudding we had been in there in a flash its our favourite too! Its such a small world!

[@TheSlawsAdventures]

Thanks for showing us round the different motorhomes. We came to the same conclusion. We’re keeping Helga ❤ Happy birthday to your son 🎉

[@TheHillsExplore]

Window shopping is always fun and makes you appreciate what you have 😊 Helga is gorgeous 😍 Thank you! He will always be happy with a Carvery 😄 x

[@wanderinwilds]

Hello lovlies 🥰 thanks for showing us round those gorgeous vans all of our favs !! Budget is a little over for us too 😩 Riki is a very naughty boy for the window dig 😆🤔 as for the cheesecake I’m not sure I can forgive that one, not after spotting the biscoffee sauce you added on top !! 😋 great video guys - I would agree, your van is more spacious it does feel very roomy 😊 😍😘 xxx

[@TheHillsExplore]

So sad you weren’t with us this time and you know we thought of you when the cheesecake arrived! 🙈 Riki is very rude isn’t he! 🙄 It’s mended and all forgotten. Well it should be! 🫣 We do love our separate bedroom. It’s a pain to make the bed but that’s the only draw back 😊 xxx

[@ttxela]

I wasn't particularly taken by anything at the show this year and we'll be keeping our current van.

[@TheHillsExplore]

Absolutely. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it as they say. It’s reassuring to know you’ve made a good choice 👍🏻

[@cornwallandbeyondwithsmith8119]

We have a Ford cab on our auto trail and those Ariel’s are rubbish 🙄 love how it drives though 😊

[@TheHillsExplore]

I just can’t understand why they have put them on like that? I know when they are wired in to wing mirrors for example they are not great signal wise, but it looks so retro! And now I know they don’t even work better 🙄😄 I’m glad it drives well though as you can always stream your tunes! 😊

[@cornwallandbeyondwithsmith8119]

To be honest your van is a quality build and great layout. I think the new vans are not the same quality build. Great vlog. Thank you 🙏

[@chrissey663]

​@@cornwallandbeyondwithsmith8119yes totally agree, we had the new kontiki last September and it's not the quality of hills, fab layout etc but shame about quality.

[@chrissey663]

Hi both (still can't believe you have older children) yip you have the best van, we couldn't get to the show this year but very happy to keep ours, the carthagos are really nice quality but untill they do side sofas like ours then it's a no no. Ford cab no no (just don't like the shape) and that aerial!!! Ricky (window dig) naughty naughty. Great video both live you lots, be safe ❤😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@TheHillsExplore]

Haha thank you!! The window incident is long in the past 🙄 I’m glad you’re still happy with your van too. 😊 Yes our not so little boy turned 26! 👵🏼 I do feel old 😂 And yes, what were they thinking with the Ford Aerial?! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Hope you are well. Happy travels x

[@alecporter1784]

That could be a Rocking All Over the World lyric as in I like it I like it I like it

[@TheHillsExplore]

😂 I love a good song to fit the situation 🎶

[@kevinmoore7886]

Shower in bedroom strange? It's called En-Suite and generally considered a luxury.

[@TheHillsExplore]

😂 good point!! It’s an actually posh when you look at it like that!

[@WattsOccurring]

Riki, I can't believe you mentioned the back window not just once as well! Hopefully we'll join you next year, thanks for sharing, Rhian & Dai xxx

[@TheHillsExplore]

He’s so mean!!! Xx

[@TheHillsExplore]
