- So we’ve been back to the NEC. Last year was the first time we’ve been. It was the first time we’d seen an Auto Trail Expedition 68 in the flesh. And we ordered one that day. Now ours is ready to pick up next month but we haven’t seen one since. Did we buy the right one for us? We went back to see even though it’s a done deal now.
There a lovely van and I like their colours too. Exciting times ahead.
Thanks. We are excited to see where it takes us this year, especially longer term over winter. Colour is nice isn’t it.
It's a good colour. We're coming up to 18months with our van and it's changed our life TBH. Don't forget to do the Fiat warranty if you want it you have to do it within 14 days of registration I think, not pickup (I think it's a Fiat?). If the dealer hasn't sold it to you that is.
@@vanandcountry thanks will ask about that
Matttteee the van is awesome proper good choice.
Oh and we got very excited over the overlanders ❤
What's with all the fancy fabric can you imagine that after a muddy day !
Exactly what we said - muddy velour 🤣🤣x
Well good news we waited 14 MONTHS for our Moho, so enjoy your new van as we enjoy ours,
Catch you one day
Dave, Julie & Toby the woof
We were lucky then - can’t wait to get out and about 😊. Be good to catch up some time
Excellent video,I often think designers are not campers , some ideas are daft ,the electric van with its pathetic range is pointless
We nearly got rid of our CV20 and traded for a Consort Reef at the Newbury show last year,but decided no,we are going for a factory visit shortly for another look.,enjoy your new purchase
I think Tyler’s Travels bought a Reef last year. They love it. They have a video somewhere
The expedition 68 pisses over any of those others that you looked at in my opinion. Maybe I’m biased, though - we don’t need the bike storage so have gone for the expedition 67 with auto box, awning and reverse camera. Don’t think you can beat the auto trail expedition range for the money - we looked at absolutely everything before deciding on the 67. Enjoy! We shall be following you on your journey with it 👍
Thanks. That’s exactly what we found after visiting the NEC show twice. There’s nothing comes close for the money, especially if you want a big garage.
Hi you two, hope you are both well 🙂 Very nice van, bet you can't wait to be out and about in it 🙂 Amazing how long it takes to get a van, think things are getting now though, about time as well, we have been let down a few times as you know. Looking forward to seeing you both out in it, take care and all the best, Trev Debz and Tyler x x
Must meet up once we have van
@@OnTheRoadAgain-NikkiandBilly defo, lok forward to it 🙂
Back from the show ourselves today! Remember to get a "clutch claw" as well as a steering lock as ours was stolen last week. Recovered with some damage same day thanks to their excellent tracker! Good luck with the new van, we love ours 😊🎉
@@SuperMoose56 sorry to hear that but glad you got it back. Which tracker did you have as if it worked well would love a recommendation.
@@OnTheRoadAgain-NikkiandBilly it came with a Sargent tracker installed if it's auto trail - we bought used so not sure if it was factory installed or after market. It was very good though! We're thinking of getting an alarm installed as that might have helped! We had a standard steering lock on and the just cut through our steering wheel - maybe a full disk lock would have been a better deterrent? Not sure 🤔

You need to start visiting the dog shelters too
Not going to risk a new dog in a new van :) at least we knew Archie would just sleep
I wondered if you saw a Rebellion 2 by RP Motorhomes from Yeadon nr Leeds. Yes the are expensive but they have a huge garage
We saw a lot of sprinters . Think we may have seen it as we walked ourselves ragged and couldn’t film everything. Which hall was it in?
Just seen video. That garage is huge but you weren’t joking about the price £196k
Disgraceful intro. Should focus on your driving !!
Apologies you didn’t like intro. We weren’t taking any risks.
Phew! Glad you are still happy 😂 Thanks for showing us round. We couldn’t make this one. 🚍☀️
It’s bloody tiring going around. Most of it’s well out of our price d bracket now. You got your wedding outfits sorted? I’m expecting glam :)
@@OnTheRoadAgain-NikkiandBilly ha ha! Mrs Slaw went with Grandma to get her outfit 👍🏻
