Thornfield is within walking distance of monks cross park and ride ! Very handy for getting to york centre from Huntington !

[@RoamingRadfords]

Yes! We spotted that!

[@tanyabassett8287]

I'm from York so I'm so glad you love it 😊. I do prefer living in the sunshine of the bassin d'archacon though 😃

[@RoamingRadfords]

I think it’s rained every time we been to York, so I completely understand your sentiment!

Phil who owns Wetherby Whaler owned the chlppy on Stutton Road in Tadcaster before buying the Whaler. They have now bought back the Stutton Road shop as an homage to where it all started

[@RoamingRadfords]

I think he used to be neighbours of my Grandparents when they lived in Tadcaster!

The voile curtains are to stop bright sunlight from fading the upholstery too. Plus as you know give privacy during the day without closing curtains. You would be surprised how much damage is caused when the direct sun ☀️ on soft furnishing. ( eg Fading on fabric) What a lovely Motorhome! 😍

[@RoamingRadfords]

Of course! That makes total sense. Thanks Poppy!

Thankyou for showcasing my home town. Glad you had a good time

[@RoamingRadfords]

We loved it!!!

[@Dangermouse27]

Was looking at one of these only today. I asked as to why it was 10k cheaper than the escape and apparently it's the chassis thats not any where near as good as the escape something to do with the position of the rear axle. More of a cheap basic entry level van.

[@RoamingRadfords]

They’re great vans. I’ve now driven 2 of these and I love the way they drive, so much easier to throw around than our motorhome, although I’ve not driven the Escape, but I wouldn’t rule these out on the Ford chassis until you’ve driven one Dan.

Just back from 3 days at York C&MC site at Rowntree Park. Our first visit. Barely scratched the surface. Lovely city.

[@kentish_karl8598]

Interesting watching the fast forward sequence, the Voyager was rocking as you went in and out, the Kon-Tiki was solid, guess that shows your air suspension and how well it works.

[@RoamingRadfords]

Steve spotted that too!

Brilliant video (as always) guys, really enjoyed it, looking forward to the Swift factory tour video, as we have just ordered a Swift Caerra 144 ( due this May) and would love to see where it is made 🙂 York is a fantastic place, just booked to go to the Rowntree Park at Christmas as my wife ( Debz) wants to go to the Christmas market. Do Swift do a lot of open days do you know? Would love a walk around the factory, take care, Trev

[@RoamingRadfords]

Thanks Trev. I don’t believe they do any open days but I understand from time to time they allow some of the Swift owners clubs to have a tour

The boys slept really well! We had the front bed.

Glad you enjoying driving the ford. We have a spanish van on a ford and we love it. We also have the same blinds and we get a small amount of condensation only, but we are in Spain and not the Uk.

Surprised there's no microwave, it's going to be interesting to see what manufacturers despec to keep the RRP down, such as that van with stick on screens. Everyone gets used to what their own van has, space, kitchen, bathroom etc, but for a few days whatever goes,thanks for the review

[@RoamingRadfords]

Exactly!!!

[@StevenGodfrey3956]

Another great video and sights of York. I knew you would like the ford. Fiats , peugeot and citroen are OK but transits are so light and smooth and drive like cars like you said. I won't have anything else ! 😊👍🍻

That’s so interesting! Fabulous!

Interior screen are only good in the Summer and warmer Spring / Autumn UK days/nights, otherwise external thermal blinds are a must to retain the heat and eliminate condensation on the cab side and windscreen windows.

[@RoamingRadfords]

That totally makes sense Christopher x

Do you think £250k for a 2 bedroomed waterfront York property is expensive? Here in grotty south London it's 300k for a one bedroom flat on a high street next door to a kebab shop! York sounds surprisingly cheap!

Very nice Motorhome, I think for that price a tv Ariel should be included also I would have fitted a flip up extension table next to the kitchen sink, but overall a great design, well done swift

[@RoamingRadfords]

Glad you had a great time in the Yorkshire capital, yes we know only too well about the delays with Fiat, we have one on order since last May, originally due this month, but was told in October that it would be September, they didn’t say which year😱, when are you going to announce your summer tour? I do hope it’s Morocco 😎🐪🌞🗺

Edwin, hang in there, it will definitely be worth it! Your van AND the summer plans!

He does seem slightly and I mean a lot like he leaves all the prep to his wife and does all the spending on toys to him. That’s how it works for us too.

[@gazzasadventure2853]

Interesting did you prefer Ford or fiat front to drive ?

[@RoamingRadfords]

I preferred the nimbleness of the Ford to drive, but I fear if it was the size and weight of ours it wouldn’t drive the same. Also I find our Fiat front seats a little more comfy.

Our 1st motorhome was a Fiat. So noisy, could hardly hear ourselves talking. The noise hitting the potholes were terrible Last 2 motorhomes we've had are Ford & like you say, totally different & definitely drives more car like. Would never go back to a fiat. People have commented to us that they never hear it parking up on a pitch & are surprised its so quiet.

[@RoamingRadfords]

That’s great!

You cant beat a Transit, how did it compare to the Fiat? lso the original Harry Ramsden's in Guisley is now a Weatherby Whaler, we take grandkids there regularly
