[Applause] Hello everybody and welcome back to our Channel happy holes folks happy bloody holes and we are yet again in the truck and it’s a continuation from our last Vlog so searching for the perfect motor yeah we’re heading we never going to get the perfect motor home no but we’re
Going to go and have a look at this one there’s a few compromises that we’re not not sure about so but this is the layout I want so we are heading to Nick Wales um motor home in e in eam yeah where I found one and I absolutely love it but
It’s got to be a joint decision cuz it’s uh qu is isn’t it it’s a joint decision but while we’re there we’ll have a look around a few more Vans have a good me and you never agree well we don’t no cuz I’m always right and
Yeah right I know I’m always right why haven’t you got your tra to done again shut up Robert my phone just fell on the floor I’m Happ to use my phone as a satnav because for some reason the truck satnav isn’t it just doesn’t like the address and she does make updated I
Think she I think it does but she just said like in .5 miles slide right I mean what you I near got the back end out to got the wrong impression yeah I did say she doesn’t mean it literally just behave so yeah we’re uh we’ll be there in about 10
Minutes um and we’ll have a look around at some more Vans see what they’ve got to offer see what the prices are like as it’s Autumn end of season and uh yeah show you around see what you think and then have a look well to me the prices
Don’t seem like they’re going down very much no sorry if this is shaking about a bit it’s the road’s a bit now I’m in my truck I’m hoping to find lots more cackle grids oh shut up Robert yes people well we found a van we really
Really like we’ll show it you know we’re still not 100% sure no there a few it’s everything we want is it yeah yeah with the garage as much as anything yeah but I think we can manage with the garage to be honest I love it this was the
Original layout that we went for when we bought ours and then I think I have explained before but I went we went back to just sort out sizes of seats to buy R cuz of the dogs and Etc and I pulled a blind down and it was scratched down the
Window and I pulled the next blind down it was scratched down that window and then I went outside and it was all scratched all down the side yeah so we cancel it basically that’s why we bought the 599 but it was it is the one we fell
In love with we’ve initially before we bought the 599 yeah and I never thought we’d change but well we haven’t yet no we haven’t yet but we both really like this van so it is the Swift but it’s the 596 yes same length same year 2020 yeah but it’s is beautiful and it’s
Everything that’s we’ve always wanted it’s it’s the Grand Pre which means it’s half leather half vegan let’s take you in and let’s go have a look vegan not leather no it’s leather it’s back in the day before Swift changed to plastic yeah I’ll just show you the outside while you
Get in the van sure yeah so there you go basically the same cab as ours same Wheels there’s not a mark on the outside of this van it’s only done 5,000 mil let’s have a look on the back it’s got a big window at the back
Take you around the other side shut the door spot that’s one it’s even got satellite dish on top I think that’s what it is anyway yeah so let’s have a look inside Lynn’s in love with it I know she is there you go vegan seats it’s not vegan it’s
Leather it’s real Leever yes are you sure yeah I’m 99 I don’t hang on I don’t know anyway it’s got four travel seats which would be fantastic for Lynn to do it editing and for us to eat off that table it’s got a bench seat there the cab is exactly the same as
Ours only that one’s got the satinav in I don’t know if I’ve put that in or it comes with the Grand Prix uh yeah absolutely spotless it’s got a 240 socket there which as hasn’t got everything else is basically the same in the front massive window there the seating area TV bracket
There got one of these silly curtains there which I’m not too keen on but loads of uh Works space cuz you got this flap here which is good microwave the same as as and it’s even got an airon unit inside the bathroom you got a sink radiator basically the same same kind of
Thing as ours shower yes she’s a nice van and Lynn’s favorite part is and she’s already got a little legs up who would you get up there oh I mean this is to me this is what it’s all about so you can just sit and
Relax yeah cuz you can’t do this in our van can you no it’s very uh very light and Airy and loads of floor space which we need when we’ve got the two dogs with us yeah uh yeah it’s got a massive window there loving the window Skylight there window
And as I just said the window at the back which throws Li in uh six cupboards two at the back two at the sides yes it’s a beautiful van but it all depends on the figures it does and how many miles it on 5,000 something like that 5,000 miles nothing
There a few things that we’ve got to have put right if we have it yeah um and the drop down bed which we love yeah we I mean Robert saying if we have it we’ll use the drop down bed I’m not sure I don’t know if I’d just crush on here
Yeah you know the camera and I’ll uh if you come with me if you get off your butt oh I don’t have to get up it’s so comfy now the drop down bed you press that button there and you just pull it down and it won’t
Come down for some reason yeah and I’ve just done it you’ve done it once didn’t you I don’t know but anyway that drops down how come doesn’t come down me I don’t know something might be trapped hang on I’m not going to give up don’t know the one thing I wasn’t
Very impressed with some numpty has put that on which yeah it looks great from this side but when you have a look in here at what he’s done I mean look at that and The Mirror Has Come off so that would have to be done the bed won’t come down we’ve just
I don’t know something might be trapped yeah I don’t I don’t know I’m not going to break it anyway oh hang on did you put that pulley on no I don’t know but it does come down I show you cuz we had it down but I don’t want to break everything but yeah
Beautiful van love it and actually got a draw which is uh a bonus a bonus for me give me the camera back you’re looking very pretty in pink shut up I feel very small now to my shoes off yeah I’m loving the seats I could see us in this what I
Could see us in this and you show the storage underneath get up again yeah so under this one you’ve got your ladder for your bed which goes into the garage there fridge vents outside carpets are there yeah little ladder for L against the bed I think we both need a little ladder and
This side you’ve got loads of storage under there as well which we could have a scooter there and a scoo to the other side strapped down on those tied down H and then have you got story this one too no that’s the bed isn’t it that’s out to make the
Bed yeah yeah it does very nice man oh and you also got another TV TV bracket there a TV Point big what’s in the wardrobe it’s a big one wardrobe You’ have to share I’ll do wet Central eating yes is a big wardrobe yeah but we’ have to
Share well I’ve only got one pair of jeans and what’s in there under there I don’t know what is it oh it’s nothing it’s just over the wheel Archer where all your wires are and things so where’s your battery it be under those seats with this yeah battery will be under there
Somewhere same uh control panel is ours everything is very very similar to ours it’s just the layout I mean we do absolutely love the 599 and if we don’t end up having this it’s not going to be too drastic yeah because we’ve always wanted a fix bed okay which we’ve got
Now but this has also got a fix bed well a drop down bed which is good cuz then you can use all the space of the van you know I mean we we’ve just over the last 12 months or so we’ve just said it’s just having the fixed bed’s great but
It’s also such a waste of space yes look at all the floor space you’ve got this I mean you could convert this is s St Su have got the US shap lounge and they do the bed up every night and yeah no problem at all yeah it
Wouldn’t bother me if we slept here or up there or wherever yeah so we’re not going to get caught up in the moment we’re going to have a think about it no we’re not that kind of people are we no well I always you know the older you get
I think the more you start to think about things you got youve got it’s a lot of money at other day yeah so uh we’ll have a good think about it we’ll have a talk to the dealer see what he can offer us and you know on figures and
Whatever we go from there yeah are we going to have a look at any more Vans or or not you want to we might you want to to hang on I think that bloke does yeah we will we have a look at another couple just a few yeah come on let’s crack on

What a lovely van perfect layout its really easy to make up the bed at the rear. Happy Holiday Both
Loved the van its gorgeous 😊
Making up a bed every night isn't so bad. When Ste isn't drunk and can help me 😂
I did love the Burstner Harmony though ❤💜xx
YES IT IS 🙂 and why not, it is a lovely van, great choice, but love that Auto Sleeper as well
I love the seating area at the back and having the drop down gives you options. We had Wanda from Nick Whale and so far so good with their after sales service. Only thing I would say is when we were looking they offered us a price for Madge the Motorhome. On the day of the handover they did an inspection and tried to knock money off the price we had agreed. We ended up paying an extra £1k. It took a bit of the shine off things. Thankfully we are very happy with our purchase and have had a lovely time this summer using her. Take care Gill
Tut tut you didnt have your sealt belt on driving to the dealers, someone said same in another comment but you said you were in the car park
What a lovely motorhome i love the u shape lounge i can see you both in that x
Really like that van, and I'm with you Lynn, the U-shaped lounge looks so good
Really like that van. I love the layout. I’m not a fan of the drop down bed as I hear it can have damp issues with the bedding up there. However you would have the end lounge to sleep in too. Sooo much living space to enjoy and having the fixed dining area would be great for the editing and filming too. I think it’s a winner.
Surprised you didn't put a deposit down there and then as you've been looking for a while. Hopefully it's still there if you decide to buy. All The Best on whatever you decide to do.
All that looking and you finally find the one and what a lovely Motorhome it is. We will be all waiting to see if you both said yes 👍🏼
Nice van 👍. The rear seating does make a difference. xx
Looks a fantastic van cheers 🍻
Hi, just be sure about making beds up or fighting with the drop down bed . True fixed beds do take up day time space but the benefits with comfort and good nights sleep are a big plus . Compromise is a big subject and only you both can decide what you are prepared to except . Me and my wife Being wrong side of 60 we will keep our fixed bed and being able to visit toilet easily during the night 🤭 also could be the reason you got a great offer for your van as they are in short supply ? Anyway sure you will arrive at the right decision. Happy bloody holidays 😂👍
Hi. Did you see a big bent on the wall to the left as you opened the wardrobe door x
Love the channel
Lovely van. I think you should wait and find an automatic one ! Robs not getting younger 😂. Get an automatic Rob.
I think ye should go for it x
HI Rob & Lynn , I still love your motorhome very much its a shame your having to get another 1 , but good luck & hope you find the motorhome of your dreams all my love Linda see you on the next vlog hopefully driving away in your dream motorhome xxxxx from Newport Shropshire ❤😊
Making sure your both 💯% is the best decision, & getting thx right layout is so important, wishing you the very best of luck 🤞 i live watching van views, awesome vlog guys ❤🥂🌹
Beautiful van, I totally go with your feelings 😊
Hi Rob and Lynn
can’t wait to find out what you decide.. 😝😝😝
The van is beautiful. I can see why you love it so much and sounds like a great deal..
So much room and seating..
Good choice, don’t leave us in suspenders 😂too long
Take care and love to you all ❌❌💜💜
Looks a stunning van ,same layout as ours although our bunks are shorter,we don't use the drop down bed so I've taken out the mattress and we use the space for storage.this layout is far better than a fixed bed ,youonly use it at night now you have loads of room to invite us all for a gin and tonic😂😂❤
Same layout as our friends new kontiki tag, lovely place to relax (especially when the weather isn't nice) we loved the grand prix when it came out, really nice colours, good luck guys, I can see your face Lynn you found the van you 😍 love, can't wait to see what you decide (you've probably already had it by now) xxx
Lovely van go for it 🎉😊
What a cracking van air conditioning satellite seating at the rear what Lynn has always wanted great vlog hope it’s the right deal for you good luck xx
Wow Rob & Lynn this is some rollercoaster ride you have us on, I hope you make the right choice for what’s best for you both, looking forward to finding out what the next chapter is.
Might see you at the NEC next week if you are going, I’ll be stopping at Summers Wood my favourite site.
Hi Lynn and Rob
Hope you find the van you looking for, if we ever decide to return to a Motorhome, rear lounge would be our choice. I would be very careful going for one with a drop down bed, never liked them, just something else that could go wrong, and Rob your No spring chicken matey 😘 👀 😂😂
Any way, look forward to the next video
Take care both
PS, drop down would be great for the grandkids 👍
Fantastic looking van, but, if you haven't already bought it you should take a look at the Auto-trail Scout. It is virtually the identical layout. We have one and think it is the perfect van, we've had it from new and had minimal problems. Good luck with your search 😊😊.
Rob. Of course you married miss right, you just didn’t know her first name was Always!! Lol
Love the van seating area is great hope you make the right decision can't wait to find out xx
Hi nice to see you on Warren farm
Some nice vans
Luv the van you have already but understand your choice for the rear lounge/ bedroom lay out. Enjoy whatever your choice may be! ‘Happy Holidays 👍😘
Leaving us in Suspenders again 😛
Fabulous! We have just changesd our van back to a u shaped lounge, so nice! We sold the first one because we wanted a fixed bed but have always missed all that lovely space. Hope you go for it xx😊
I loved the van but I wondered if the back of the van has an emergency window. Very pretty van so I hope you get what makes you happy.
I love that van, love the layout and love the rear seating arrangement. I would end up kipping on that. This is absolutely the van I would buy.
You only live once Rob go for it
Hi Rob and Lynn. I remember Bob Earnshaw and Jenny buying a Motorhome with a drop down bed a couple of years ago and had to sell it as they didn't like climbing up onto the bed and when it moved. . Mind you they are a lot older than you. Maybe you could speak to them about it? Just a thought! xx
Every video…”shut up Robert….”
For us, it’s a no. I love the rear lounge, but the dining area looks like a train carriage, with limited dining, having a fixed table. If we ever won the euro million we’d buy a cathartic liner for two, with reclining seats, drinks cabinet & office facility. We can dream, can’t we? So I think we’ll stick with our Rápido Design and yes the island bed is difficult to make but, as it goes up & down, I can easily get into it. We have a drop down bed, so can sleep 4, or possibly turn bedroom into lounge by removing the bed. I love our lounge/dining area with it’s movable table and rotating captains chairs we’ve had 6 sitting around it for dinner. What we have suits us, as I said I love the rear lounge, comprising dining area & a garage is a compromise too far.
We love the rear lounge in our van and it was one of the main reasons we went for it. We also have drop down beds and the extra space it gives is fantastic.
we had an auto sleeper fairford ….. it's a lovely van … we used to leave the rear cabin set up as a double bed…. however… it is a little bit "small" – we now have a swift escape (the one with the end lounge)…. brilliant.
Love watching your vlogs, keep it up and looking forward to many more.
Take care both of you, have fun 👍
Hi there, please can you tell me which fleece throws you use in your van and whether they “walk” or not. I’ve bought so many for our motorhome but I spend my whole life having to tuck them back in!! Thanks for your time
Annoying couple.
