Thanks for watching!
I mostly watch you on my laptop and on the odd occasion the tv. I prefer the laptop because it's easier to navigate where I want to go and easier to make a comment and press the like button.
The Woods is lovely, we really enjoyed that, been a couple of times, once when we hired a van, once in the CV, the backdrop of the hills is lovely and the food was nice in the on-site restaurant if you fancy that. - sure you will enjoy - be interesting to see how you get on. Think Rob.& Lynns will be good 👍 All the very best, David & Rachel 👍
We went during covid times, but the restaurant wasn't open, so hoping to try that.
We bought an Adria Coral Supreme in 2022 and wanted VB full air suspension and E&P self levelling hydraulics fitting. Took it to SAP in Doncaster who are a certified fitter of both systems. It should have taken 5 days but it was the first Ducato based vehicle they had in with the new electric handbrake. This interfered with the sensor mountings needed. SAP contacted VB, sent lots of pictures/measurements and VB designed a new configuration to get around the electric handbrake. Took 5 weeks in the end but I like to think our vehicle was the prototype for their new kit 😊 The VB system is superb, you won’t regret it. The E&P self levelling kit links to the VB system. When you pitch up and start the automatic levelling system the air suspension fully lowers first of all before the legs come down so they don’t have to travel as far.
Thanks for the information, fortunately we don't have an electronic handbrake. We're not getting the E&P levelling.
You’ll be able to uplate to 4000kg as well once the VB is fitted. SV Tech did ours, they were very good.
@russwest1495 we are already at 4500kg MTPLM.
Our daughter in law is Danish, we went over last year for their wedding and it's beautiful. They may move there and if they do we'll go again.
My mum went a few years ago and really enjoyed Denmark, looking forward to it.
Wooo Jenny and Bob you are persistant.... Im watching on Tuesday on the phone and hope you get the window fixed soon.... I love watching your vlogs / videos. Always good info...
We're still waiting for the roof to be fixed. The contractor called in sick today!
Watch on TV if at home & comment on phone 😁 The trips sound interesting! We’re Scotland bound soon too 😊 What a wonderful life this motorhoming is, very blessed. Safe trip, Em & G 💜
Hi Bob, Jenny and Poppy the star. She’s funny , loved hearing your updates, thank you for sharing xx Julie and Tony x
Thank you. I love the interplay between the two of you.
Brilliant, thanks for another helpful tip.
Fantastic Video. Well Done.
You two just crack me up. We look forward to the banter! I don't think you realise how funny you are. What a tonic. We watch on a TV with an account linked from my iPhone, where I leave the comments. Just keep them coming. 😊
Thank you very much. 😁👍
I watch on tv and go to my phone to comment occasionally. Strange maybe but it works for me. Keep up the great work.
Looking very trim Bob, looking great 👍🏼, great vlog as ever 😊
Thank you kindly
Hi Bob and Jenny,
I now mostly look at you mostly on TV. I have just found out how to comment now on the phone. The air suspension will make such a difference to the ride, and it is so handy for levelling. Good luck and safe travels.
Excellent update, Bob and Jenny, looking forward to the trips
Thanks 👍
Hello Both great idea to do a video on the issues of viewing on a smart TV as you can’t leave comments, etc we always have to watch on our iPads. Take care ❤️
Hi Bob. I use my phone to send the video to the Tv. You then get the best of both worlds and can still “ like” and comment 👍👍
Exactly. The problem is viewers who don't know you can do that.
Yes I watch you on the tv and my tablet.
I mostly watch on my tablet but occasionally cast from there to my TV. I hope you enjoy your stay in Forfar. You must buy some Forfar bridies. Delicious. Or take a detour to Arbroath for some Arbroath smokies.
We don't eat meat, so the Bridies are out, but we do eat fish, so maybe the smokies... 😊
When ever we are looking to book a site up we always look to see if you’ve been there first, and look up a few others we follow to see if they’ve been too, your videos are so helpful, we have the same van you have and had self levelling put on, next year we’re hoping to get an A-frame added too, safe travels to you both😊
I watch on TV love your chanel x
Dunnottar Castle is definitely a good visit Bob and Jenny. There is a circular walk from the camp site which in part follows the coastal walk. If you have the time, the lovely Rose garden at nearby Drum Castle is also a beautiful place to visit.
Thanks for the tips. We have been to Drum Castle before but never filmed it, be good to go back there.
Hi
I always watch on my iPad but my wife wants to watch also so watching on tv would be a great idea
Loving the update
Andy and Karen
Hi, Bob and Jenny from the Blue Hills campsite on the hills above St Agnes in Cornwall. I'm here with my two cats Moses and Jesse enjoying the first of four nights in my self built campervan. I spent three nights in a lovely campsite with on site swimming pool, bar and restaurant plus other things. It was called White hill Country Park and Camping near Paignton in Devon. I live in Swindon in Wiltshire.
Sounds great, thanks for the tip.
Hello again, looking forward to your Holiday Denmark 😊
Us too!
We mainly watch your videos on the tv happy travels
I watch you on my tablet love your vlogs
Is that Aberbran site in Brecon? We go to Brecon once a week. You will enjoy.
Yes that’s the site
I watch you on my laptop. Wow, you're going to be very busy Bob and Jenny. What with Connies upgrades and the trips and birthday celebrations and meet ups.You'll be needing a holiday after!!😁😁Safe travels.See you on the next.
Yes, think you're right. Hopefully the Welsh trip will be relaxing.
Hi both, great video, very informative as useful, look forward to seeing your bed upgrade (as we have the same beds) and your air suspension etc.
Your both looking great on your healthy eating well done.
We're away on the 17th to Troutbeck head (thanks for the arriving video) safe travels on your trip🏴
Great, love Troutbeck, somewhere we only seemed to go to in the Winter, but it now closes in early November.
@BobEarnshawMoHo never been that far so really looking forward to it, thanks again x
I’m one of those who usually watch on the tv. I can add a like but as you say can’t comment! Watching on the phone now just to catch up.
I appreciate that
I fitted the mud flaps to the front. They fit perfect except the top where it is protruding out from the wing
Yes, same here and was the same on previous vans too. Annoying isn't it?
Hello Bob & Jenny another great video… at home we watch you on the smart TV and when on site in our caravan we watch on our IPad.. we are looking to upgrade our caravan TV to the Avtex Smart in the not too distant future.. keep up with the great videos.
Thank you
Hello. A&E Lesiure it's a great place just bin to get some new chairs for the Caravan. We only live 15min away from it. Anderton boat lift is good also see if you can get a tour down the salt mines. My husband worked down there great history. Xx
Thanks for the tips!
Hi, if you are going to Belmont Hall Campsite, just be aware there are two post codes. For the sat nav use the one for the 'North Lodge'.
OK, thanks for the tip.
We had VB full air suspension fitted to our Swift 574 last year by A&E leisure in Northwich. First class job done by A&E and the result is amazing. Quite expensive but well worth it. Does what it says on the tin and like us I'm sure you will be impressed particuliary with the miles you do every year. Enjoy.
Good to know, thank you.
Just found out how to comment when watching you on our TV but you still have to use a phone to comment which is what I do anyway.
Always watch on the TV as easier , however if I want to comment I use my tablet or phone , enjoy the interaction between you 2 , thanks
You are watched on my phone but can watch it on my smart TV an icon comes up on phone to transfer to TV👍
BFN! Enjoy your parties and looking forward to your next video. PS I watch CZcams on my phone! Would definitely watch on a smart tv if I had one!
You don't need to loose any more weight Bob you look fine now.
Yes please can you do a guide re smart TV and such like. Bye Poppy nice to briefly see you xx
Hope you enjoy North East Scotland, Forfar site about 10 minute walk from my house, unfortunately no local vegetarian version of Forfar Bridie. Stonehaven also lovely. St Nicholas Church in Union Street Aberdeen is right in centre of city. Think it still has a proper Carillon that is played occasionally. Denmark trip also sounds great.
Oh, thanks for the tips. We ought to visit the granite city!
Trust me rich at pp protect makes a difference I was like you but watch Radford video on it convinced me
How do you keep your plants watered when your away? X
Simple, we don't have any plants. We have a lawn and some bushes.
Thanks for another entertaining video. We watch mostly on phones with the occasional smart tv. Oddly enough its usually not the first watch on the tv so the like and comment are done on the phone 🙌🙌☕️
Thank you
We watch on telly a lot but dip in on phone now and then.
I watch on my laptop and then connect to my large tv with an HDMI lead. the reason I do this is because I watch English tv via my laptop. ( I live in Denmark)
nice restaurant at the woods caravan site
Oh good, we'll have to try that.
I sometimes watch on my smart tv but if I want to comment and like I just pick up the iPad and use that. I use Ship Shape under my bed and it works perfectly.
Great video as always, inspired by your tours, we've just got back from a couple of weeks multi stop 'mini tour' of Yorkshire in our Elddis 115, hitting Nottingham, York, the coast (Whitby, Scarborough, Cayton, etc) then back down south via Doncaster and Newark Motorhome show. You should do a tour down South, would love to see you hit some sites through Devon, Cornwall, etc as that's our usual stomping ground....
Thanks, if you look through our previous tour video playlists, you'll see we've down tours to Cornwall and Devon, Sussex, Isle of Wight, New Forest.
Well there are two on the circuit we could meet up, Huntly or Grantown on Spey. Lindsay can tell you the tale of her association with The Woods site. Take care and be safe.
Thanks, I'll send you a DM.
We have air suspension fitted and it’s great to improve the ride and help lift the back end (we had a water tank catching on the drive) it’s only pretty average At levelling on a pitch. Helps a bit but not as good as the proper levelling we had on our last van. Ours is just 6m so the leveling issue will be worse on your extra long vehicle
Thanks, that's good to hear. I'm not too bothered about leveling, never really thought that was a big issue, but I always thought it was less of a problem in this longer van than it was when we had a 6m van.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo might also be worth checking if you have an update to your maps on the cab satnav - we had one recently and on our current tour it’s not missed a beat and also camp sites are on it. Today we put in Hebden Bridge and a tent symbol was there and pressing that was the site address 👍 we connected the van to our home wifi for the update
Is that an update to the Fiat cab sat? I asked the Fiat dealer recently and they don't know how to update the built in one in the Ducato series 9!
@@BobEarnshawMoHo Yes - ours has been updated twice since we’ve had it - once by the fiat professional dealer which took 2 days as their server was down and once at home - if you look at settings you will see you can connect to local WiFi - I wouldn’t connect to the van one in case it decides to do an update when your away !! But we connect to our home wifi from the drive. In settings there is the option to do an update - they can take ages so probably best to start them early morning ! I’ve been carrying a Garmin Camper satnav with us but now very confident in the fiat system which you can input your dimensions in and weights
@donbrown8001 yes I saw that option, but it doesn't seem to do anything!
Hopefully we'll meet you at Rob an Lynn's event, please please save us a sticker and we'll run back and put it with our collection 🙏 😊
Lol, hope we'll have the correct ones by then!
@@BobEarnshawMoHo Thanks Bob, take care 🙂
Hey guys I was at Norton Cane services on Monday and could have sworn I saw you there - wanted to say hello but you went all ninja …
We weren't at Norton Canes on Monday so it wasn't us going ninja. 😂 Now if you were at the Houghton Street NHS centre in Southport on Monday you might have met me and my mum. 👍
Have you ever been to Widecombe Fair in Devon is the second Tuesday in September every year. If you are down that way then worth going to see but make shore you have your car in tow as lanes are narrow. I’ve been going for 20 years.
I've never been to Widecombe, hopefully we'll be down that way next year.
Have you thought of getting your van ceramic coating as you could wash it in twenty minutes
Not convinced about coatings. We had the Bolero done with Diamondbright didn't think it made much difference.
Can I suggest you take the instant stickers to Rob and Lynn meet up. Give away for a donation to their charity.
Will do, collectors item 😂
Always watch on TV and then use my phone to comment (on occasion!) I know you can read the comments on TV and I guess in the future you will be able to type a comment in also using the TV
Hi both you can maybe hand out stickers at Rob and Lynn’s meet? I know I’d like one for my growing collection :)
Hopefully we will have the new stickers by then.
Hi Bob & Jenny, I watch on my smart tv. I have to use my android phone to make comments, can't see any links you refer to on smart tv.
That's why I need to do a video. There is a symbol on your phone when you are in the CZcams App that casts to the TV. support.google.com/googletv/answer/11136134?hl=en-GB&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid#:~:text=Cast%20videos%20on%20your%20TV,that%20you%20want%20to%20watch.
We watch you on our TV but I open the mobile app in order to leave a like and a comment. Thus you get 2 views from us!!
You'll love Grantown. A very special place for us as Neil's dad is at rest there.
How very exciting!
Btw, we recommend Sylhet in Grantown if you fancy a curry!
Yes, we love Grantown as well.
Thank you!
If you do Denmark 🇩🇰 look at the wohnmobil park In damp germany
Thanks for the tip, we have booked the campsites now. 😊
Just to note if a person does not have an account with youtube they can not comment or subscribe either.
True, I'll need to show how to get a Google account.
Watch on tv..comment on iPhone or iPad
I have to speak, about the window wall above your heads, it appears as if you have a black mould problem? I know this. is not the case, perhaps you can, explain
That's the pattern on the window surround fabric. 😂
@@BobEarnshawMoHo yes thought so ha ha
Watch on mobile phone. Why don't you come to Ireland and do the wild altante way from donegal to kerry
Our big trip is Denmark this year. We would like to go back to Ireland one year.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
OK. I’ll ask the question. WHERE’S BOB?!.. Who’s the slim looking imposter?!.. 😜😃👍🏻
👍😊
And after all that it will be xmas yet again!😆
Zips round far too quick!
Busy few weeks for you.
Trying to make up for lost time at the beginning of the year. 😊👍
@@BobEarnshawMoHo keep the vlogs coming x

The weight fell off when I realised what white bread was doing! Well done on your weight loss.
