We've Made a Few Changes to Our New Motorhome

[@alistairross4317]

What a lovely Tracker FB. Very nice choice! We are like you in that after many years caravanning, we made the move to motorhoming, after our brand new Buccaneer was rejected due to horrendous damp. We made the decision then to go for a motorhome. We had some amazing adventures in our Adria, but have just changed to an Auto-Trail Comanche S, and we absolutely love it to bits. I am loving the mirror idea, and am about to show the wife the foam idea. What a cheap, effective and rattle-eliminating solution. Subscribed, so many thanks!

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Alistair, Many thanks for your kind words & welcome to our channel. Huge congratulations on your new Autotrail Comanche, wishing you many happy travels & adventures. Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.

Hope motorhome was level when fixing the mirror?

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Steven, Motorhome was definitely on level ground 🤗 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@petepoole1827]

Great modifications , sure there’s more to come, thanks pete

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Pete. Thanks for your lovely words. Hopefully when we get out and about we’ll have more. Sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele

[@andrewmoorey6103]

We are patiently awaiting the delivery of our new Autotrail having, like you, decided to move over from many years of caravanning to a motorhome. When test driving several motorhomes we noticed immediately how crashy and noisy it was. Your foam pads are such a good idea, we will definitely be adopting it. Looking forwards to more hints and tips!

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Andrew, Huge congratulations on your new motorhome, we’re so pleased for you. Delighted you found our video helpful, the foam eliminates all moving & rattling, keeps everything securely in place👍🏻 Wishing you many happy travels & adventures in the future, Keith & Michele.

Hi Michele and Keith. Great to see you taking no time to get the new motorhome into the "shape" you want for yourselves. Great tip for using foam for crockery and glasses - safe and no noises - will save that one up in case we ever change like yourselves. Lovely job with the mirror Keith - finishing touch with the domed screws was very professional, as was the curtain to screen off the bedroom area when needed - simple but neat and effective. Great job - thanks for sharing. Safe travels as you enjoy the new one ! George and Trish - CaravanningMacs

[@keithandmichele]

Many thanks for watching George & Trish & huge thanks for your continued support. We’re delighted you enjoyed our video, the foam would also work in a caravan. Sending all our best wishes to you both, Keith & Michele x

[@caravantuggers1608]

Great idea Michelle on the foam. You now have me thinking about motorhomes purely because of this idea. We hired a large Adria motorhome 3 years ago and whilst we enjoyed our time with it what put us off owning a motorhome was the rattle and banging of mainly crockery whilst travelling actually doing my nut in. With that is why we chose to get a caravan. The both of you have now got me thinking again about motorhomes...

[@keithandmichele]

Many thanks for watching Caravan Tuggers, We are really pleased with the results of the foam, there is no movement or rattling whatsoever, it’s proved to be a very effective way of storing crockery & glassware 😀 Good luck with your decision 🤗 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.

You was lucky getting it right first time without masking tape marking out corners first ! We have used Acrylic mirror in a similar situation as lighter and will not shatter. Love the foam idea for plates and glasses.

Hi. Enjoy your new MH. What drill did you use to drill the mirror?

[@keithandmichele]

Many thanks for your best wishes Beverley, We had the mirror holes drilled by the glazier & used a small wood drill for the pilot hole in the wardrobe door. Hope this helps, sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele.

[@davidmbell]

The spirit level on the top of the mirror would only have been accurate if the motorhome was also 100% level. Also just worth checking if the glass is suitable for if you have an accident? Remember you’re now sat in there with it, unlike the caravan. Hope you’re v happy with new m/h.

[@keithandmichele]

Hi David, Many thanks for watching, just to let you know, our motorhome was parked on our driveway which is 100% level. Michele’s Dad actually paved it & he’s a perfectionist 😀 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.

[@davidtanslow3584]

Excellent ideas, however may I add that I'd recommend when using screws to fasten the mirror to the door that you use another piece of wood inside the door or thin wall to strengthen the overall area and also allows you to use bigger stronger fixings or screws. I used a ready made wooden plaque with a line of coat hangers. It strengthens the door and provides additional hanging garment hooks. Also the double sided tape needs to cover more of the mirror back to prevent drumming and breaking of the glass. Be careful that the bathroom door handle doesn't damage it if it swings out too fast, use a door stopper to stop the door handle impacting the new mirror.

[@keithandmichele]

Many thanks sharing your tips David. Best wishes, Keith & Michele

[@riboid]

Hi, I do not want to be overly critical here, but did you hear the sound of the door opening and closing whilst installing that mirror? That is the problem with these motorhome builds - there has not been enough attention paid to the noise whilst travelling, sound deadening and overall acoustic performance of these vehicles.

[@keithandmichele]

The sound you heard when opening the door was the catch. When the door is closed the catch is latched to the back bracket so you don’t hear any noise. Many thanks for watching, Keith & Michele
