Thanks for watching!
Great video, Bob. I've been watching your down to earth content for a while now and can't put you down when i start watching. I'm glad you are feeling better. Hope Jenny is feeling better soon. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate that!
Thank you for showing these Bob.I hope Jenny's better soon.
Hi Bob, Thank you for sharing the 3 videos found them very informative & helpful 👍 Bob look after yourself & take it easy & I hope Jenny gets better soon 👍💖Lin
Thanks 👍
Bob don’t forget both of your health comes before videos 👍💖
The Alora looks like Baily addressed some of the many mistakes on the Adamo
We never got to try out the Alora unlike the Adamo, but yes, it does look good.
Lovely informative video Bob...vintage assessment of some of the best and reasonably priced...thank you .
Bob your a real trouper thank you!
Thanks for the look around Bob, another great video. I’ve got a Wildax Pulsar which is a great little van and I use it as my daily vehicle and the new Fiat automatic is a great drive too.😁
Three great videos, extremely informative as usual, I hope Colapz have given you the water barrel and trolley to test drive, as we purchased them at the show, hope you’re both better now, keep up the excellent work you both do.
I recently got my Collapz water barrel and trolley delivered, along with various other items such as waste pipes and some connectors. The water barrel and pipes etc. are all very good quality, but the trolley is a piece of junk. It's quite flimsy and poorly constructed, with rough weld marks and some sharp areas on it. To fold it down the wheels have to be removed, and the pins holding them in place don't look like they'll hold up to doing that too often. The extendable handle doesn't, as it's so poorly fitted it's just jammed in place. As for the base, the little metal 'nipples' that are supposed to click in place and hold the platform open don't work as they don't align with the holes for them. As a result, unless the water barrel is actually on it, the trolley keeps falling over as the platform keeps folding back up. There's also a warning stating the trolley is only rated for 20KG, which is the weight of the water barrel when full, but honestly I wouldn't trust it as I imagine it would fall apart between the water point and your pitch. I ended up ordering a Stanley trolley from Amazon to use instead, it's rated for 60KG, has wheels already attached that fold in and out automatically, and it just works much better. My advice would be save £30 by only ordering the water barrel, and put that saving towards a 3rd party troley that will work for other purposes as well. The Stanley one I got cost £47.
I didn't return the trolley as I've had such a bother getting my order from Collapz in the first place, and am still waiting on missing items being delivered. They managed to send me some wrong items, and also missed things like storage bags that should have been included. Their customer service has been pretty poor overall, taking ages to respond, an needing a couple of attempts to correct minor issues.
On the whole I think the Collapz products (trolley excepted) seem very good, given the limited use I've put them to so far. But to be honest their customer service would make me think twice about buying from them again.
A good selection of vans for those that like smaller units. We think it’s an area that’s really developed over recent years with a lot of competition between manufacturers and van types. Nice video Bob 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev
Very interesting thanks Bob and Jenny x
Very informative thank you. Get well soon. X
Thank you, I will
I'm gonna have to see if I can get a good look at the Wildax looks a very nice van Bob👍
Hi Bob, enjoyed the look around the vans with you, hope Jenny and yourself feel better soon x Julie and Tony x
I'm much better. Jenny is on the mend.
Always interesting to see what else is available on the PV front, don’t think I’d swap our layout for any of those. 😊 Perhaps a nice shiny automatic body though 😂 Thanks for showing us around. Em 💜
Do hope you and Jenny are soon feeling totally better. Look after yourselves, you need to be fit and ready to enjoy your new Van when it is arrives! Take care. X
Absolutely. Need some down time.
Thanks Bob. Appreciate these tours mate.
Far superior to anyone else 👍
Wildax very nice but we really like the Alora layout.
In a few years this is something we would look at downsizing to.
Interesting compact width and length and love the design.
I wonder if it whistles? 😃
We are Bailey fan boy and girl currently 🤣
Thanks 👍
Very interesting video! Certainly plenty of food for thought. Great to see you looking well and fully recovered. Hope Jenny shakes off her cold very soon. Take care.
Jenny just blew her head off as I was reading your comment. 😬We'll be fine thanks.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo 😂😂😂
We have a Adria compact DL , was one of the first compact narrow style motorhomes and has a 2000kg towing limit as a bonus too !
The price of vans is insane. We will head for another big crash if people pay big money on these things that depreciate quickly. People apparently taking them now over 20 years to finance. Another big financial crash could come at some point due to this massive lending.
It’s linked to the price of base van’s and general inflation (circa 20% over the last 2 years alone) - then add in labour costs (Minimum Wage for example is going up 10% next month).
I hear that but my wages have actually gone down over past ten years in real term considerably. @@br5380
Thanks for another great video, Bob. The Bailey Alora looks great, although we don't plan on changing our camper van just yet.
Sometimes the best plan, stick with what you have.
The Wildax look nice, must look further at those, Interesting the narrow coachbuilts as quite liked the look of that Bailey one as looked well thought out - I found the B64 panel van conversion too tight for me with the seat in the front as you felt hemmed in the Ford cab as the seat wouldn’t go all the way back due to the things behind it (most folks that wouldn’t be an issue for of course). Hope you’re both good, all the very best, David & Rachel 👍
Hello Bob, thanks once again for your great show coverage. Good to see that you have recovered from your unfortunate medical incident and I am sure Jenny and you can now look forward to collecting your new van! All the best.
Hope you had your water and some food this time .
Yes I did
Great 3 videos as always hope youve both got over the lurgy look after yourselves 👍
I'm just about over it, but Jenny's got it now.
Hope Jenny is feeling ok. Take care Gill
Not been good to be honest, this cold was a bad one.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo Sending wishes for a speedy recovery.
Well done Bob a great video again and very detailed reviews as ever a great range of vans with some really good design touches coming out but some of the prices are unbelievable
All the best to you both hope you are feeling better DANIEL
Hopefully some of the big prices rises have slowed down now.
When do you get your new motor bob
I don't know, it was originally mid Feb to March.
How do they make up to this price
It's the price people are willing to pay.
Great video....
That first van toilet 😱 seriously would anyone use that?!?
Thanks Bob, we have been looking at Panel vans, but I’m not convinced they are big enough, so something in between might be better.
Like the Alora then?
Great to see you back in the saddle. I wish more would give the prices like you do, it puts it all in perspective, nothing worse than watching all through and still asking "How Much?"
Hi Bob,
Great coverage of this year's NEC show. Good to see you're OK after your little turn.
Loved the WildAx rear lounge camper on pt3. Really taken by that to be honest. Looked very well put together. So much so that I have booked myself in at a WildAx dealer to go look at one up close. I didn't know it existed. So that's down to you, and the fantastic work you and your wife do with these videos. Enjoy this year's travels, and stay safe.
Kindest
Matt ❤
Good to hear. I like the look of Wildax.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The 2nd van, the control panel said that the fresh water tank had to be empty for travelling. Is that correct?
As long as you don't exceed your maximum weight, it's safe to travel with a little water. Remember that 90 litres of water weighs 90kg. If your payload is only 350kg, that's a significant chunk of payload gone.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo ah, so it’s more about the lack of payload.
Always surprises me how little payload vehicles have due to manufacturers trying to squeeze under the 3500kg.
Luckily I’ve an old-time licence 😀
@br5380 yes many motorhomes under 3500kg suffer from lack of payload. I was hoping the government were going to increase the 3500kg threshold for BE licence holders, but that now looks like it will only be for electric vehicles.
Another great video. Some of the beds are so high up. My husband is 6 foot 3 and would hit his head😂😂 Hope Jenny is better.
Yes, it's great having garage space, but not if you're banging your head all the time.
Always great videos bob really informative. What size is the washing up bowl you have in your motorhome? Where did you get it from? Thanks steve
We bought it from B&Q years ago. It's actually too small!
@BobEarnshawMoHo thanks for reply I just like the way it fits under the lip of sink and you can put cover over the top.
Quite interesting, particularly as all these vans cost effectively the same ~ £75 -76 K.
Just don’t get professional built camper vans they cost as much as a motor home with less than half the space
Hope you’re feeling better Bob 🏴👍
Much better thank you.
So as the Wildax states the water tank must be empty for driving this means it is not 'wildcamp' or 'park4night' capable.
They say that because they don't include water in your payload, like most manufacturers. That why you need a decent payload to start with. As long as you've sensible with how much water you carry, it's fine.
Mmmmmm parking would be so easy wouldn't it. Enough for one.
Bob, just watching your 2023 Europe playlist. You mentioned on your first video that you have LED headlights. Did you retro fit these or were they fitted. I'm interested in a similar upgrade but do not want any issues with the MOT in a couple of years. Krs Sid
Here's the video czcams.com/video/4zu721KIU-E/video.htmlsi=9jNFm_99bbr8sh_P I've had 2 MOTs now with LED lamps fitted and no issues. I'm not saying it won't happen, but you always keep the old ones.
Bailey Alora was nice but personally think the Adria Compact DL was far better in almost every way for only a few thousand more. Seemed to be better built as well,
love the wildax compared to the Fiat popup, for £76k I know which one I would have 😊
I have to agree about the cost of caravans/Motorhomes is getting ridiculous.If that's true people getting finance for 20yrs need their heads examined
I've never bought a motorhome on finance, seems crazy expensive.
Camping started out as cheap holidays, not any more!
Hello Bob could I please have your advice I want to buy a motorhome but I don’t really know makes I am interested in a Carthago is that a good make please I only want to buy one and would like it to last 15 years
Any advice would be great 👍
Hope ur feeling better
Jack
I don't like giving advice on what to buy. It's a big purchase and you need to do your own research. Carthago are a well respected brand. I'm feeling better, but Jenny's come down with the cold now.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo
Hi Bob thank you for taking the time to reply
Give my best wishes to Jenny.
Bob. Do you get a fullness in your ears before you faint?
No, just feel hot.
