That is some whopping great motorhome. Back slap rear corners too!! Some people like to take their home with them it seems!! My motor is a Campervan - very compact. you enjoy yourselves and take care!!

[@TheRollingRucks]

We have had a converted van in previous videos loved it! But felt we needed something bigger granted not quite this big haha 😛

[@campervankarl]

Interesting you mention about Irish Ferries and the ‘early’ charge. I was charged £40 a couple of months ago so I think it’s a new policy. I’ve also travelled DFDS and P&O recently, bumped early and no extra charge. I think I’m swapping as these £40’s all add up to frequent channel travellers. Enjoy your trip. 👍🏻

[@TheRollingRucks]

That’s interesting I didn’t realise they charged but think it’s the fact we went on a few earlier boats lol 😂

[@karendyba5213]

Hope you all have a great time xx

Thank you cx

Enjoy family I love the vlogg

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you for bringing so kind xx

[@CampervanTravelsInDora]

Good to see you back on the road again. Just a thought your breakdown cover (AA/ RAC) could have been called to come to you and check your OBD readings. Might have taken a few hours for them to arrive but it's not an issue when you are static. Safe travels 🚐

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you didn’t actually think of that as we hadn’t actually broken down doh! X

[@jimjeffries8804]

We must be living a parallel life...we have been up to see Rob and lyn and we're having a fantastic time until Lorraine tripped broke here ankle then on the way home our van went into limp mode ,luckily was able to fix it and made it home ,,,,,,you will have a fantastic time❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheRollingRucks]

Sorry to hear you have been having some problems too fingers crossed that’s all of it now haha have a great week x

[@TheBabblingBrookes]

Have a fantastic time…which we know you all will anyway 👍😍 Our engine management light came on last week, luckily we were at the dealers having the hab check and repairs done. They put one of those readers on it, and it was the bit before the DPF that was reading faulty. They cleared the fault and it hasn’t come back on. Given it a good run since, and all is good 👍👍 xx

[@TheRollingRucks]

Ahh glad to hear you sorted it guys can’t wait to catch up soon xxx

Haha it’s fine been videoing quite a bit so more to follow couldn’t leave you all the minute we get to France now could we? X

[@alisongoodger1155]

Hope you have a good holiday. You need to get an OBD reader to help with fault code reading. Essential these days. Have a good trip.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you something we will definitely look at x

[@Rose__]

Looking forward to the new vlogs with the van. We don’t have a van but our management light kept coming on and off in our car finally found out it was to do with the petrol cap and the gases from it. So each time just opened and shut it and shut it and all was good after that x

[@TheRollingRucks]

I keep getting a check engine wsrnning every time I chacge fuel or top up Ad Blue so just use an obd reader to check its nothing serioud and clear.Modern engines too complicated and think the sensors are too sensitive.Have a great trip.

Thanks for the vlog. We get our first ever motorhome at the end of October which we hour to live in for a couple of years, touring Europe and the UK. We have been binge watching your videos, love how you budget, because we will be doing a lot of that 😂 looking forward to seeing what comes next with your travels. Van Love looked great fun, might see you there next year 😊

Ours comes on every other journey even after a 400mile trip, so a bought a obd reader, its the basic emission p2002 code, so i just reset it, reader was £40ish from amazon well worth it (van had only done 2700m

[@TheRollingRucks]

Perfect! Thank you for the information x

hi guys its more then likely the adblue system they dont like to be left for any amount of time big tip is keep the adblue full before you park it up for any amout of time

Where is your gorgeous puppy? It’s a lot of hassle bringing them to Europe for such a short trip , it’s also quite an anxious trip home making sure all the paperwork is done correctly. Have a wonderful holiday, lovely seeing you all again x

[@Bel-ej9go]

Those bloody engine management lights are a pain, they can be triggered by so many things, mine was the fact the seller had done his own maintenance as he was a mechanic but it needed re coding by a diagnostic machine which the RAC did in 5 minutes.,., but it’s so scary. Apparently there the bain of the recovery services. Enjoy your trip. I’m off Thursday, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Italy and France. Can’t wait.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you for the advice :-) wow lush trip planned we loved touring those areas!

[@davercs]

I would recommend getting a little obd scanning tool for situations like you had you would know what the problem was you can reset stuff and all sorts to get you out of trouble I have a topdon one which has paid for itself already

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you for sharing we will do appreciate it xx

Hope the wet belt is ok. Ford know all about it,good luck.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you 🤩

[@user-qh5es8ix2h]

Hope this helps and doesn't alarm but just in case you engine management light comes back on. I have a 2 year old motorhome built on a Fiat chassis. I have a repeating engine management light problem for which I am now on my third sensor change (each time a different one). I am told by Fiat that you are OK to drive the motorhome with the engine management light is on so long as it stays amber in colour and does not change to red. I put this to the test this year doing about 3,000 miles with the light on while touring Italy before going in the Fiat garage when I got home. Hope this helps .... Enjoy your holiday.

if you go to morroco you cannot take a drone there as they dont allow them they will take it off you and you might get it back when you leave morroco /2 put the french road warning behind your axel as long as it can be seen and 1 on rear of the van but keep them on in europe and morroco/3 after you have filled up with fuel add blue and water find a weigh station and check your weight if over limit you can get on the spot fines in europe/4 another tip is keep your empty morrisons bags for rubbish like cans then bin when full save on using black bags i use mine all the time yes i got a motorhome bigger than yours at 22ton with a mini cooper in the boot/5 get intouch with the van makers and get a diognistic kit you then have it on your laptop and plug into the van -/6 there is a MORRISONS in Gibralter as well
