    Great video great to see a city break in a BIG motorhome , really liked the video on the mountain road in spain too. I recently found you channel and im working my way through hoping for a video addressing why you chose a huge motorhome and now a tow car over a caravan or a smaller motorhome 5/6 berth .
    Have you made a video on the topic ?
    I'm currently on the hunt for our first camper/motorhome looking at the new swift trekker X or the Chausson x650 just 2 of us and a 70kg dog so far but a 4 berth for future proofing occasional guest's. Were in Glasgow so highland and island roads are telling me 6.5m and narrow more importantly, no plans to go continental also enjoy fishing so need to tow a boat up to 1T 6m braked trailer launched on potentially mildly slippy concrete slipways . But I'm trying to find reasons why I'd need bigger or only go as big or small as i need

  • @robertpenning3501
    @robertpenning3501 Před 6 měsíci +1

    First of all, I really like your videos. However I am a little bit puzzled. Your van is bristling with technology yet you're using a karcher to clear the windscreen condensation. How about investing in an outside thermal screen cover. Warm inside in the winter and cool in the summer and say goodbye to condensation. Greetings from Southern France

    • @RoamingRadfords
      @RoamingRadfords  Před 6 měsíci

      We have one. It’s lovely. And does a great job especially when we are parked up in one area for a while.
      However. It’s big, bulky and often wet, and when we are travelling and moving on every day it takes up valuable space.
      Also the Karcher is quicker than putting it on and off each time we need it.

    • @robertpenning3501
      @robertpenning3501 Před 6 měsíci

      I thought as much. You do have everything. I must admit I only put the outside thermal screen on if we stay for longer than 2/3 days and I agree, they are very bulky. Safe travels

    Think you have been lucky where you parked - knowing and operating in Birmingham I would not park my MH there at all. Easier to park at a decent-sized park and ride or BHX International and travel in by Train. It is a shame as Birmingham has a lot to offer but they just make it very difficult for visitors to get in and out with vehicles. F1 arcade is the new big attraction and very cool. Digbeth also has a lot of places for games now in the old warehouses - in fact, the bullring is turning more into a entertainment zone than shopping.

      The Brewery st lorry and coach park is secure in Central Brum. £11 for 6hrs £22 for 24hrs. Easily big enough and you can reserve your place in advance. Not the cheapest but peace of mind. We do this or park at the NEC and get the train 10 min ride, like another commenter suggested.
