We enjoy looking around the Yorkshire Motorhome & Campervan Show 2024, it’s a much more relaxed show than the NEC shows. I have a correction to make, we look at a some interesting accessories, a very smart little Fiat and a couple of interesting motorhomes.

So I think I got this wrong yesterday this is Leisure World here and uh we got a big organization but uh very nice pegaso there have a look at later and in here we’ve got that leure shop.com which I wrongly called Leisure World last a couple of videos ago I blame Mr Voiceover and alien stand here which is all ready to go yeah just noticed there’s some air suspension kits here M level HPC Hydraulics something we’ been thinking well I’ve been thinking about I don’t know if Jenny’s that Keen but I think it’s the fence yeah uh not sure what stand this is is
We’re actually in Hall one AR we so mot home supplies okay the back there they do have Tech stuff and various other things H something to consider yes so we’ve been asked to look at a ma Louie uh 360 he said M Louie Fusion 360 and this is on the MC
Stand I think oh it says here Maple Leisure Maple Leisure so this is M Fusion 36 on a boxer slate gray 2.2 75995 list price including V8 okay okay we see these at um Marquis as well don’t you so yeah we did look at one didn’t we at uh February
2022 yeah I think when that got a new van then yeah quite stylish aren’t they I mean when they first came out in this country they were budget fanss weren’t they there was quite a big garage there I can’t get out that in the moment for it’s in there somewhere so let’s
Have a look inside youve got sound haven’t you got you testing one too yes we have sound brilliant I wouldn’t want to make that St again nice little sofa area here but again it sort of a continental style layout I’d call it a little step up into
The cab very nice stylish leather effect seats on a perso cab a manual it’s got a Pioneer head unit there that’s quite nice it’s very stylish wood it’s like um red red sort of light wood reddish Lightwood I don’t know what youd call it Redwood I suppose you’ve been an expert me being
An expert on wood and this is in there that that’s the motor for the drop down bed all right travel seat here have to sit down seats quite firm the table moves about yes table moves about that’s good you could just bring it forward that’s good like
That it not sure it goes up and down though no it doesn’t look like it does no Jen’s standing outside with Bobby cuz the bed comes down above the table doesn’t it yeah I’m just trying to see how far that’s going to come down obviously you’re limited by this
Unit here so you’re going to need a ladder to get in it little bit of a cut off here obviously to let you in and out of the door when the bed’s down um a reasonable sort of width across the cut off lot of straps to hold it hold it in place is
That we go there goes bring it all the way down but not bad it’s okay how many times this goes up and down during the show yeah that’s okay seems to work well always limited a little bit because you got lockers underneath so yeah definitely not coming
Down to ground level is it no I like the fact that’s um up there did you see they’ve got little cupboards yeah I mean why don’t all manufacturers do this the fact that you got a little a little Locker here stop things falling on your head just just a simple
Thing isn’t it it doesn’t cost much to put a covered door in there does it tell is on a nice Riser that’s good adjustable all the controls seem to be in one place got light switches and things there there yeah there’s the light switch isn’t it yeah yeah sorts of various
Things nice mirror here it’s quite stylish it’s got the like um what would you call it yacht floor type thing a kitchen reasonable amount of workspace for one of these one of these kitchens say space for your toaster over there and your tesimo here three gas coverboard
Above it’s got yeah got an extractor fan there as well and 240 volts yeah no that’s good very well equipped isn’t it seems to be it’s a Combi oven so it’s a small one isn’t it sorry it’s a smallish one yeah it’s a small one but it’s put look covered
Here a couple of drawers as well must be a cutle yeah yeah that’s nice very it’s very stylish okay have a look at the washroom oh that’s quite big little Tardis washroom yeah I’m going to say it’s a bit wheel Arch but it doesn’t really matter because there’s quite a bit of Standing
Room there that’s all right byold doors to close it off complete with twin drainers covered space here and there toilet’s up on a on a little stand that’ be nice then yeah I suppose you could put a stool or something there if you he challenged more cupboards are here tucked
Away I do like these so you know you can put your t and condiments and things on there it’s a clever idea clever idea even bigger one here those are tin big fridge nice big fridge yeah that’s good with ice box okay there a single door opening but
I’m quite happy that probably space you could put a microwave in there I guess if you don’t mind it being way up in the air hope you can see this yeah tall wardrobe there some electrics in there so be want to use that oh that’s
Good pick that up but that’s a quite a deep Locker there useful for shoes and boots Wellies access to the garage might try and have a look at the other side get a chance to get outside the van and a useful size Square transverse bed two V points up
There lockers at the back got some Nets in it and window above noce all right it’s all right I think going up on the two steps that gives you an idea of a head r no it’s pretty good pretty good got want to be careful I got down
There little bit awkward turning around I’ve got bling bag on that doesn’t help yeah we go touch touch lights yeah that’s good be nice if they had a fan in there but about the only Chism I can find yeah steps are a bit shallow aren’t they they’re about poor size aren’t they yeah
One but uh you get used to that that is the garage on it it’s absolutely enormous I can’t I can’t get over how enormous that is I would definitely check your payload if you’re going use that and it’s just cavernous take my fancy this little uh theater bath but uh nice little red
Color look at that look really nice inside very stylish I’m saying I don’t think my bum will fit in those seat but I could give it a go it’s not no I’m I’m joking really but people yeah can get yeah I mean for for us the
Main sort of requirement is it’s got a slightly small back seat for another small passenger but yeah that’s the theer bath 595 yeah what wrench is this is it 14 did I see yeah 16 on this one and it’s 15495 if you’re interested yeah that’s including the whole kit everything
That’s everything okay it’s toe bars to toe cars electronically Brak a frames okay thanks a lot all right thanks I just stumbled across this stand here the Robin Hood 500 so it looks like it’s a um a route you can take based on possibly on the nc500 idea but it’s all
To do with Robin Hood there sound a little bit hi I’m Neil ham and this is my Robin Hood 500 very much based on the concept of the MC 500 yeah but the red line follows places with the Robin Hood connection we start at Nottingham Castle work our way
Through Sherwood Forest to Robin NS Bay and back down through Yorkshire and the peak dist and L Lincoln as well yeah and Lincoln for Lincoln Green to that they all oh yeah it’s a 500 Mile Journey with a lot of history and storytelling uh thrown in as well all right now you were
Just telling me a little bit of story about where the the character came from the the IM the imagined Robin Hood but there was a real guy wasn’t there there was a real one there was lots of real ones that the storytellers have blended into the composite Loxley Village uh a
Guy called Robert hod lived there uh he was outlawed through a farming accident where his father-in-law was killed and went on the Run um his cousin was the abess of ctle PRI that’s also linked to the legend and then about four generations on one of the women family
Married into the Earl of hunting’s Liv okay uh which again got blended into the story um and Posh people tend to about six first names so the the head of the hunting L always have Robin Hood of two of those half a dozen first okay so that’s one of many people that have
Become this this blend that we now know as Robin Hood yeah and you’ve got quite a few books on this by looks so you got the cycle way the root itself okay and there’s a little leaflet I picked up as well gives you the rout as well that’s fascinating yeah Swim Bike and
Die that’s a crime for I’m a retired Poli all right my specialism was chemical biological and nuclear terrorism oh good grief and the sport was Triathlon oh wow that’s a thriller that blends my Sport with my with your that’s brilliant that’s fascinating guy to talk to thank you thanks for popping
By all right brilliant I got catho Cura here 6999 five 16 plat isn’t it yes there’s a 16 got the alloy wheels see how well these have lasted I suppose we oh wow another humongous garage with a bike rack in the back absolutely enormous goes further back as
Well like these sort of things these little uh things on the back I don’t know if that was an aftermarket but oh that’s good isn’t it yeah yeah I see got a few of these little bit of accident damage on the back there nothing that can’t be
Fixed got a big TCO sat sat satellite dish on the back rear view camera J what sorry I was looking inside all right I’m just going to have wand around the side here see what else got a little access to the garage here that’s a small slightly smaller door poppy size
Door you need to get your supplies out you just go in there yeah oh Jesus water there Vasa I assume that’s toilet cassette yeah it’s always with these cathal go it’s I can see it’s got refillable LPG but there’ll be under floor storage there as well that be I it’s locked to
The motor so I can’t get in it habitation door here there we go better have a look in because the show’s now open what a very nice door here that’s good isn’t it bit of a step up big steps up in you’re in but yeah it’s very stylish in here leather
Probably are leather as well aren’t there these seats it’s an unusual sort of layer the seat here that swivels around a bit oh God there’s a bed there there it’s nicely padded rear view camera in there front this is on one of those uh automatics Comfort shift ones I should think
But looks very stylish sort of wood effect around there and a table presume it moves about but a very nice sort of wood effect there or wood it is wood not wood effect and this is the drop down bed of course nog nogging basher go three burner hob look like it’s had a
Oh it’s a chopping board isn’t it so that can go either way it can also go up there as well get in there like that yeah they have lasted well these drawers this is what 8 years old yeah this is your coffee maker area or something like that or maybe where your

Nice tour around, I bought one of the books off the chap with the Robin Hood 500 tour 😊 Some nice accessories at the end – nice and colourful. All the best, David & Rachel 👍
Thanks Bob for showing the McLouis Fusion 360 your a gentleman Thanks a lot.
Fascinating – especially that Cathargo.
Enjoyed looking around the stands.
We had semi air suspension fitted a couple of weeks back. It’s made a heck of a difference, Bob.
Good to meet you today Bob,
Pleased health is on track
I love the banter. Over time, Jenny has become so much more comfortable.
Nice to meet you both on Saturday. Thanks for the photo selfie. Full time shortly. Great advice about your internet router. Might save me £600 installation fee. 👍 Sat in the front row with you at Motorhome Matt’s talk on Europe travel. Still bamboozled with all the paperwork and badges needed. But he made it easy enough to understand. Can’t believe all the countries in the Schengen zone have different rules. eg. no dash cams in Portugal.
The Robin Hood 500 tour sounds like it would make a nice vlogging route, a little different. Good to see some nice used vans at this show as more stock is coming onto the market. Teresa’s bunting is nice and bright and I like the storage pockets too. 🚐😃👍🏻 Sue n Trev 💙
Good video lots of things to buy, love the Red car ,motorhomes nice,
Hi Bob, it's pronounced Car-ta-go (emphasis on middle syllable), not Cath-ar-go. 😉
Another brilliant video.
I’m a sewer so I love the Happy Caravanner ideas. I’m always sewing.
