Gutted for you both. Really hope they can sort it soon and as cheap as possible.
Feel better soon Lynn ❤xx
Hi both and thank you, we really are absolutely bloody gutted, we are keeping everything crossed,
Thank you I feel bloody crap still 😥xxx
So sorry to hear you are still waiting to find out how much it’s going to cost. You’re right , everything seems to happen one after another. It will get sorted out, spring is on its way and you will be back on your travels soon. Lynn I hope you feel better soon my lovely xx❤️❤️
Hi sue your absolutely right thins could be a lot worse we will soon get back on the road fingers crossed 🤞 thank you so much for your comment ❤️
Sorry to hear this, the heating breaking on our motorhome was the catalyst for us to get a new van, hope you get things sorted quickly whichever path you take.
Thank you. I can totally relate to that,
I’m sure we will one way or another
Glad to hear that there is still a chance of a reasonable outcome,hopefully without too much expense. I shall keep my fingers, toes and everything crossed for you.
Thank you and yes we are keeping everything crossed, I’m going to give them a call tomorrow for an update
Awww jeezzz. Big tight cuddle Lynn hope ur feeling better. As the saying goes it never rains but it pours. Fingers crossed for youse 🤞🙏❤
Thank you ☺️ I just can’t seem to get rid of it.
We are trying to stay positive and keeping everything crossed x
Hey rob ,ive got a thirty three year old hymer 660 ,had it 22 years , the engine is bomb proof ,Mercedes ,no turbo no electronics slow as hell on the hills but had our share of breakdowns but wouldn't be without it ,done quite a bit of travelling in Europe and looking forward to this year in France ,don't give up and keep going pal , we were in Scotland quite a few years back and this coach come hurtling round this bend right on the double white lines and took my mirror off, the road was quite narrow and he or she wasn't hanging about luckily i had a spare mirror with me ,we carry a few spares but you can't carry everything
Sounds like you’ve got a perfect van, sadly they don’t make them they used to, oh and yes it’s always good to carry tools and spares, but like you say you can’t carry everything
We had 22 year old Hymer and apart from a few things it went really well. Wish we hadn't had to get rid of it in the pandemic. Good luck you too. I think you have to have a cry now and then .
Hope you get it sorted soon , have a lovely weekend xx
Thank you Karen x
Hi rob and Lynn sending great big hugs to you both hope it turns out not too bad for you and hope Lynn's feeling a bit better soon take care guys xx
Hi Lynns feeling a little better now thank you x hopefully fingers crossed 🤞 we will be back on the road soon 👍
God I feel for you both - what an expense. I'm just recovering from Covid & have never felt so teary & low. I haven't got a bath either & have just had a lovely weekend with my friend who has! What a treat - enjoy yours. Keep the updates coming & fingers crossed for the outcome.
Hi and thank you, we are absolutely gutted, but I’m sure somehow we will get it sorted,
Awww poor you, it’s awful we know someone who is really suffering still,
Hope you feel better soon
I seriously can’t wait, I’m going to come back like a prune 🤣🤣
Thank you, we will
Hi Rob and Lynn I feel your pain and frustration as I’ve been through that myself with Luner caravans, you must do what is best for you both as when something goes wrong and it’s repaired it’s not your van anymore, stay strong and hope you are feeling a lot better Lynn.
Great video guys 😊
Thank you 👍
That Swift Escape is lovely van , make such good use of the space, especially the space saving seat belts on the roof 😂😂, hope your feeling better Lynn and your back is on the mend Rob 👍👍
Hi Chris and yes I love it, especially with the rear lounge
Still feeling rubbish but I’m sure a bath will help us both ☺️☺️
So sorry for your problems our static radiator are leaking but as Lynn says hey ho love you guys ❤
Thank you
Aww no, it’s rubbish isn’t it, really hope you get yours fixed soon
Aww thank you ☺️
With all the problems you are having you are still so funny and you make us laugh with you . Fingers crossed for a good and cheap out come 🤞🤞
Awww thank you, ☺️
So glad we are still making you laugh
That’s what it’s all about
Thank you we are keeping everything crossed 🤞🏼 ☺️
Hi both, just caught up on last 2 vlogs, absolutely gutting, we have the same Alde heating in our caravan and touch wood had nothing like this. Sometimes the old style gas fire was less complicated. Hope you can get it sorted and back on the road , take care love Tony and Cas xx
Hi both and thank you, we really are absolutely gutted,
We always bang on how good Alde heating it is, and we honestly think it is ……… until this happens, and yes you can’t beat the old fashioned gas fire they were brilliant
Take care both and thank again xx
So sorry for you both, hope the actual repair doesn't cost too much and that they can repair it quickly so that you are back on the road, it's what you both need. Hope you feel better soon Lynn, perhaps take some vitamins to help you through everything. Take care both 😊
Thanks Amanda we have everything crossed 🤞 hopefully we won’t have to remortgage 😂 lynns feeling a lot better now thank you for asking x
Keeping fingers crossed you get the van back soon and it isn’t too pricey.
Thank you we are keeping everything crossed 🤞🏼
Hello To you both. I stumbled upon your video by chance & found myself transfixed on your conversation with each other.
Me and my partner shall eventually be looking at a motorhome once our online business takes off.
You sound like a Great Couple.
Thank you for sharing with us all.
Kind Regards from Mark
Hi Mark and thank you and welcome 🤗
So glad you enjoy our “banter”
We wish you both all the best and success with your businesses and here’s hoping you get your motorhome soon
Take care and thank you again ☺️☺️
Hi both, here's hoping the financial cost isn't horrendous, there's never a nice time to have to spend money on something unexpected like this, and especially hard just after christmas.
Hope you get back on the road soon, and take care both.
Steve n Jeanette
Hi both, and thank you ☺️
We are keeping everything crossed too,
Thank you and no matter how long it takes we will be back on the road as soon as we can
Take care both
Gutted for you lads , hope the outcome isn’t too bad but it’s already creeping up , the joys of motorhomes
Thank you, we really are gutted 😞
We are keeping everything crossed
Yep as you say, the joys of motorhomes 🙈
Oh goodness, we do feel for you both, I do hate January as things do go wrong and shite weather, just found out I have a hole in the roof. . . ooops expensive. Keep smiling you have your health so it aint that bad. Rob & Julie in Shropshire.
Hi both and thank you, it is always a bad month for everyone,
Oh no, hope you get it sorted soon
We are, and yes as there is always someone who is so much worse off
Take care both
Sad to see how down you both where. Glad you liked the swift we have the 2015 which was the Forte we love it. Some times bad luck comes in waves hopefully your waving goodbye to bad luck. Chin up guys you will be in a new bus soon I can feel it 😂😂😂❤
Hi Paul, yes it has got to us, especially with other things going on behind the scenes here.
Hopefully our bad luck is on the way out now 🤞🏼
I hope so ☺️☺️ don’t think Robert is up for it though 🙈
Take care
Good luck to you both 🤞 Stay positive 😊
Thank you Terry and we will 👍
Hopefully it will not cost to much fingers crossed you have had some bad luck so far this year keep your chins up
Thank you, We are keeping everything crossed 🤞🏼
And yes we are trying
Makes me laugh that you're looking at an 85k van but Rob wont spend a fiver on a coffee 😅
You know, I said exactly the same 🤣🤣
A fiver.... for a coffee?
Not in my world..... whoever allowed such nonsense to establish itself has only themselves to blame. Ridiculous. Over-hyped nonsense.
How much 😮 I wouldn't pay a fiver for a coffee either 😅
🤣, unbelievable!.
It’s always a bit of a worry when you have to get major components refurbished and that fear of it going again, as you say your van is out of warranty, ( mybe it’s a sign for a new van beginning 😉), what ever happens I’m sure good will come out of it, Lynn might just get Her dream van and a u shaped lounge you never know!, Rob get your wallet out!, anyway best wishes as always to you both, looking forward to seeing the out come, keep the chin up Guys!,
Bruce and Linda 😎🤞🏻.
Chin up guys! Bad stuff happens. But it makes the good times better 😊
Hi and yes we are trying, and yes it just makes to good times even better ☺️
Oh, sorry for your bad news. Hopeful it's not too expensive to replace/repair 🤞
Hi Denise thank you for your comment x yes we have everything crossed 🤞
Hope you get back soon as possible ❤ Chris/ Jan
Hi and thank you both ☺️
Hope it all works out for you both x
Hi Sharon and thank you x
£100 a hour!! Can’t be bad. I’m in the wrong job. Hope it’s a quick turnaround for you both. Happy camping will be back😁
BRILLIANT video again!!
Hi Keith I think I’m in the wrong job too 😂 as you say we will soon be back on the road 👍
Hi guys hope your luck changes soon you both deserve it
Thank you very much Dave 👍
Sorry to hear about the mirror. Hopefully luck will change from now 🤞🍀 Can't whack the Mercedes cabs can you. Shocking the price of vans isn't it still all be it they do seem to be slowly normalising I think. Some lovely vans there. Hope there's some better news on the boiler repair cost 🤞 All the very best - we'll keep our fingers crossed - David & Rachel 👍❤
Hi both. and yes bloody white van drivers 🤣🤣
They really are great vans
We are keeping everything crossed just a waiting game now,
Take care care both
Hope to see you both soon xx
Hi Rob & Lynn ,so sorry to hear your pain 😢 & the cost of the repair of your stunning motorhome ,but i was thinking even if the boiler repairs come to say 4g with the cost of getting it all back on the road again my dearest friends thats still cheaper than starting out with the dept of a new start on another motorhome when you weigh
it up it will pay for itself with all the joy you spend in it ,& you will never find 1 better than the 1 you have now ,& then add all your memories in as well, so think of it as a mortgage @ your time of life is that what you need ? When you add up all the cost & i am sure you will be happy once its fixed & your back on the road again ,i am so sure of it & i hope you both get better soon as i only know what ill health can do ! Never take life for granted because its to precious, keeping the motorhome home now makes more sence with the cost of everything going up in April with a big bang , & your health is more important too! Love you both millions your friend for life from Newport Shropshire, Linda Dunn ❤️ 😊 xxxx
Morning Linda, hope you are keeping well, and yes you are right, but I do love the rear lounge …..
But we will see as Robert isn’t that keen on it and it has to be a joint decision
You are right your health is more important
Take care both x
Hi Lynn and Rob I am a new sub from sunny Halesowen down the road! Just found your channel and have been really enjoying the videos of your adventures
So sorry to hear about your issues with the boiler and hope it can be sorted out it makes you feel negative about your van and also equally if it will happen again and also on a new one
If you do change the escape is lovely and a lot of van for the money but yes the prices are crazy hope you both enjoy Dover look forward to seeing more of your adventures Daniel
Hi Daniel and a massive welcome to our channel thank you for subscribing 👍 vans are still way too expensive at the moment mind you saying that are they ever going to come down in price ?
Eyes open and taking breathe, always a good day. You're fortunate enough to have options, just enjoy life. Repair, replace, buy new....always options. Keep smiling both. Feel better soon Lynn
Love your videos x
PS...did you really have to look around my dream van at Salop 😪😂😂
Hi and yes, we are fortunate enough to have options
Thank you ☺️
Which van was that ?
@@RobandLynnontour The panel van 😪 bloody love it...I'll just keep on dreaming 😅😅
Sorry to hear this Rob & Lynn what a lot of money feel for you both 😢
Thank you, it’s a worrying time
So sorry for you both, not a great start to the year. At least you have each other ❤💙, chin up Lynn 💪🏽get well soon.
I hope you get back in the bus ASAP.
Have you looked at the voyager?
Thank you 👍 we are still waiting to see how much to repair ours until then we can’t make a decision 👍thank you so much for your comment it’s appreciated
Fingers crossed that it’s something that can be repaired quickly. X
We are keeping everything crossed x
Hi to you both hope things work out best of love mabel and graham
Thank you both xx
We have had troubles too. Last November we found water coming in above the overhead lockers. £800 later, a new interior panel, and everything resealed, we are dry as bone again inside despite the horrendous storms we've had. And now, one of our two leisure batteries is failing to charge via solar or when driving. We will be camping at Stratford Race course again 26th April for the show. Not expecting too much, but it will be a local weekend away. D+S x
Hi both hope you are both well,
Oh no that must have been awful too, but glad you enjoyed got it sorted, aww more problems it seems the way forward unfortunately
Hope everything is ok for when you go away xx
Hi Both, really sorry to hear it’s your boiler ☹️ - it’s so horrible that this has happened for you - such a worry when you don’t know what the costs are going to be to fix it 😞
Love the Escape that you’ve been looking at - for us, we’d get a part ex price with Salop’s and buy it 👍 that way you’ll be back in a warranty position and you can get back on the road with confidence 😄. Seeing you both look so down is hard - just want to give you a big hug Lynn - you look like you need one - hope you feel better soon - sinusitis is horrible - I suffer with it lots - I use Sudafed max which works a treat. Take good care both and hope you get your van back soon or that you get to have your dream van 😉. Enjoy Dover, love John & Debs 😘😘xx
Hi both thank you for your comment 👍 crap happens to everyone but we seem to be having a lot of it lately 🤷♂️anyway what ever happens we will sort it 👍
@@RobandLynnontour ❤️
Good evening rob and lynn
Iv watched a few of ur vlogs and u r ever so funny
Iv just liked and subscribed to ur channel
Im so sory u r having trouble with ur boiler its a pain in the a.....
We have been doing caravaning 4 about 30 odd years and we still love it
Lynn how do u put up with rob cos i think u need a medal ha ha ha
Thanks u cheering us up
Love u guys
❤️💙💚💜
Hi and thank you for subscribing it’s appreciated 👍 we also did Caravanning for many years when our children were young we loved it 👍 as for Lynn putting up with me I think it’s the other way round 😂😂😂😂
Get a grip you two.. no one has died..your fit and healthy... broken pieces are easy to fix..😂
Agreed, but you never know what’s going on behind the scenes that people done talk about …..
Hi Rob & Lyn 😃 we enjoy watching your videos about Moho travel, general life and cooking 😃 So sad to see your latest videos about Moho heating problems 😔 Surely you could've got Rob talking just a little bit more to keep moho warm and stay away even in snowy Scotland 😂 Take care and lots of us who watch your channel really hope you get sorted asap 🤞👍 Viv and Paul x
Hi both and thank you,
Your comment did make us both chuckle 🤭
Take care both x
It'll all work out in the end ... Don't forget they'll have to rebleed the system and you'll have the cost of the 5 year antifreeze. Tbh I always blow air through my Alde system after draining it down in the winter. You'd be amazed at how much more water comes out.
Thanks for the information Gary it’s appreciated 👍
I took my own boiler out and it took me 1 hour I always drained it completely, but there is always some water inside I found the problem was a connector pipe inside the boiler had frozen and pushed off I put it back on and it all worked perfect.
The problem is where ours is situated, apparently it was very awkward to get out
We are keeping everything crossed 🤞🏼
Fingers crossed for the repair. Not sure about the layout of the new one you looked at as the back end won’t make a very big bed and you would still be climbing over each other?
Seems more of a family layout. 2 lounges seems odd and still making beds up unless you use the drop down one .
Agree you need a nice long sofa for evenings, have you looked at any big 2 berths ? Enormous long sofas in the right ones , big kitchen, big bathroom etc etc
Or get a caravan like we did 😂 we have had dozens of caravans and mh’s over the years but love a nice big caravan as it’s lovely to get settled for a few nights. No good though for one nighters etc.
Can’t wait to see if you swap and if so what to xx
Hi, it’s such a minefield to find the perfect one isn’t it, I really do love a rear lounge and feel like I could leave it made up as a bed if the mood takes
We have looked at so so many vans
We also love caravans but Robert tows everyday so is reluctant to do it on weekend too x
Just subscribed and enjoying ur banter lol
Thank you ☺️
If you love the Escape go to Lowdhams they have their version which is just a different interior colour scheme called the Hi- Style! We love ours. X
Hi and yes we’ve have looked at their take on the Swift vans and they are stunning
X
Hope you two are keeping well 🙏🏼❤
Hi and thank you, we are ok, just still waiting for news
@@RobandLynnontour feel like I'm waiting with you 😅 🙏🏼 stay safe x
I know exactly how you feel my van a Bailey every week something stops working you become a great van engineer mine has got that bad going to take all the electronics out of it and get back to basics on it
Hi, it’s gutting isn’t it, they cost so much money and you never seem to stop spending after you buy them
Hi to you both..
I am so very sorry for your Motor Home troubles, I hope and pray for the best outcome…🙏🏻🙏🏻
I agree with Lynn Rob, that van is beautiful, but perfectly understand your dilemma, do you take on more problems 😢
I am sorry you are not well Lynn, any wonder with the stress you have been under, and that’s just from Robert 😁😁sorry Rob..
You both have every reason to be gutted and a good cry will do you good..
I hope you have a lovely time in Dover( I always think of that song) enjoy your bath Lynn, you sure deserve it..
Good luck 🤞 with it all.
Lots of love from a very hot Australia Day 🥵🥵🥵❌❌❌💜💜
Hi Vicki , thank you we are so gutted.
But I’m sure it will get sorted one way or another,
It is a lovely van but so is ours and as you know we have had so many things put right on it,
Aww thank you, it just won’t clear up,
That made me laugh though 🤭
Thank you I’m sure we will
Take care x
Hi Rob Hi Lynn hope everything works out well for you 😊
Thank you Brian 👍
Good evening Guys,
We really for you, just like so many things just out of warranty and it breaks it seems to be the modern way 😢
Lovely van you looked around guess like us you'll both agree to disagree, this is where the compromise (arguments) kick in 😅.
Maybe the Lusso option 🤔 you can tow where you want and still have a car to get about in while away.😊
Whatever happens or you decide, good luck.
Take care both,
Paul and Joanne 👍 😀
Hi both, and yes we do love the Lusso but Rob tows everyday and for him it’s an easier life ( well it was ) with the motorhome
Take care ☺️
@RobandLynnontour
Hi,
Let's just hope 🙏 that all works out well, you deserve it.
All the best 👍
P and J 🤗
Hi both.
I don’t know what you’re actually looking for Lynn to be better than your m/h, but you should take a look at the one we have.
Ours is a 2019 SWIFT BESSACARR 596 - 6 birth.
Drop down manual bed over the dining area, end lounge which you can use as a double bed ( but we don’t) as there is only 2 of us.
We love it because the table is always up in the dining room, but not in the way, because we sit in the lounge to watch telly.
You can come and have a look at ours if youre ever in the Leicestershire area.
Hi and thank you for your comment we aren’t sure what we are going to do yet until we get the cost of the repair 👍you have a nice van there it’s basically the same as ours with a different layout 👍
Have you considered taking out the MB &G gold Motorhome warranty insurance. You can still take it out for three year old vans It covers all parts on the Motorhome. I have had it for 5 1/2 years after my original warranty expired I have made several claims totalling over £5000 without issue my last claim was for £1000 when air suspension failed. Your boiler repair would have been covered consider it going forward
Never heard of it but thank you, we will definitely have a look into it
So sorry. But think of me. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and walk on 2 sticks. Went to my local supermarket this morning. The glass sliding doors shut as I walked through. I tried to step backwards and my stick got caught in the door and I fell backwards onto hard concrete. My back is dreadful. So its not just you with bad luck. Enjoy Dover I was born there but now live in Spain. Please take care.
Oh no, really hope you are ok,
We are looking forward to it, and, I can’t wait to have a bath or three ☺️☺️
Hi There Rob Lynn and Doggies , Hope you are all Well , What a time your Having , well i hope the Boiler gets sorted , and its not to expensive to be repaired , congratulations on your 12000 , so if 12000 people that watched your videos sent you a pound you could put it towards your NEW Boiler ,or your next motorhome ,just an idea , and any left over goes towards your charity , well Thanks for sharing and i wish you positive good luck , Take care All ,🌟🌟👍👍
Hi Paul and yes but hopefully our run of bad luck will come to an end soon,
Awww thank you we really can’t believe how our channel is doing now ☺️☺️
Awww wouldn’t that be awesome 🤩
Thank you, hope you are well
Take care ☺️☺️
Alde techies are brilliant, it will be as good as new. ! Went for a demo morning not so long ago - and guess what Rob, we got complimentary BIG bacon sarnies and sausages..
Hi and that’s good to know ☺️
Wow I bet Rob will be booking on for a tour asap 🤣🤣
I cannot say I know you guys well, however I can see you are made of strong stuff and WILL NOT allow this to trick you into a decision that is not right for you 2 so without further ado sleep on it and bring on the next challenge for
ROB & LYNN ON TURE
YOU CARNT WAKE EM
OR BEAT EM
😀👍🏻 come on
Katie & Gary x
Hi both we will get over everything that is thrown at us and we won’t be rushing into anything 👍thank you so much for your comment it’s appreciated 👍
One of my favourite places to mooch at but there prices ouch.👍
I think that’s everywhere high prices 🤷♂️
Motorhome discoveries Craig and Julie xxx
👍🏼
Fingers crossed it is an easy fix.
We are keeping everything crossed
I like the van you have 😊😊
Thank you Andy we do too 👍
Hi guys, I always love your videos
Wanted to ask what power bank you have
Many thanks
Julia and Mark
Hi and thank you, we use different ones for different things
You need to visit me in the Pyrenees foothills next January, it was 21° today! I do hope it all works out for you whatever you decide. Personally, I would be unable to trust a repaired boiler, will they give you a warranty on the repair? Whatever you decide you’ll get back to normal soon. Enjoy Dover. Xx Jo in France 🇫🇷
Go Jo, and we might take you up on that, sounds perfect
Hmmm and yes that’s what i said, although we have heard that they are as good as new when they are repaired, but yes I would expect some warranty with it.
Thank you and yes we do too
Take care Jo in France ☺️☺️
Life is such a bitch sometimes! Sending lots of healing hugs for you Lynn, hope you feel better soon xx 🐾🐾🐕🦓🤗
Hi and yes it really is, really hope you get some good news soon too
Thinking of you xxx
❤❤❤ we just love you ❤❤
We love you too ❤️
You really need to look at a German van, we have had a dethleffs and now have a sunlight, trauma heating, we are now on our 4th motorhome and would not go back to a British made van, especially having watched you with all your problems you have had. We wish you luck finding your new van, if that is the way you go.
We love watching your channel. Good luck.
Hi and thank you for your comment yes German vans are awesome but honestly we have heard of some horror stories about those too 👍
You are locked in forever. Now you have to buy that van. Funny how people say there is a lot of room but of course once you put the table up the space is less. The seating looks very square is it really comfortable? I agree i love a bath and havent had one for years.
Not necessarily as the table stays folded if you only want a small one
Weve just found out lynns a man 😂😂 i nearly lost my tea 😂😂 unbelievable ❤ your channel is growing fast its great to see ❤ been with you since forever
Unbelievable 😂😂 it has started to grow which we are very happy about 👍 thank you so much for sticking with us
The other van you were looking at that lynne liked had the same heating system so bare that in mind when making up your minds to buy hubby says he wouldn't buy a van with that kind of heating system
Hi Jane and yes I did say that to Robert
Make sure you check the floor covering and floor that chemical can dissolve the floor glue and the ply floor
Thank you for that, we will check, I’m also concerned that it’s in the wood and that the dogs might lick it, as it’s poisonous to animals
Totally agree with you it’s so expensive running a motorhome on top of everything else and like you I had a brand new one but was still expensive and hadn’t even got to the stage of mot’s etc. I gave it up after 2 1/2 years and sold it and have gone back to a caravan and find it lot less stressful. Another thing I had in the back of my mind was the amount of money I had tied up in the van and what is going on with the world today trying to force motorists into these bloody (ev’s) or milk floats I call them! are motorhomes still going to be worth the money in a few years time? At least with the caravan I can bang it on a seasonal if towing becomes a problem in the future.
Hi, and honestly i agree with everything you have said,
But, I can’t see the price coming down, we are looking all the time and the price maybe levelling out but I think they are still going to be fetching a high price second hand
Fingers crossed that it’s not too bad - maybe it is time to Escape ! 😂👍
We are keeping everything crossed at the moment
Oh I keep trying to sell it to Rob 🤣🤣
@@RobandLynnontour Keep selling LOL 😂
Aww look at Lynns face 😢 cheer up sweetie 🤗,.. Dont like to see anyone feeling down 🥺 I'm gutted you've got no better news 😢 but to get a newer one is so much money, once yours is done its done 👍🏼 but i understand the cost without warranty 😢 decisions decisions 😅 but you two know what you want so go for whatever makes you both happy, i love the happy Lynn & Rob, love how Robert told himself to shut up Robert 😂 that tickled me,, Good luck 🤞🏼 chin up, cheer up ❤ 🌹🥂xx
Hi misty I don’t know why Lynn is down she still has me 😂 fingers crossed we will be back on the road soon without remortgaging 😂👍
@@RobandLynnontour fingers, toes, legs & arms crossed 🤞🏼🙏🏼
Alde are only at Northampton you can stay there overnight as they have ehu for 2 vans found them really good
Hi and thank you, that’s good to know for the future ☺️☺️
Hi both, fingers crossed that it a cheap fix. Does that boiler heat the hot tap water as well ? The swift select you fancy Rob used to be called a fourte ... it was my second new van and i loved it. But we needed 6 seat belts for the grandchildren so made the step up to the 8meter motorhome. I couldn't go back now with the space we have like you, but loved the panel van. Hope you have a cheap outcome with your boiler. Sending love Frank and Jane ❤
Thank you and yes we are keeping everything crossed 🤞🏼
Yes the boiler does the hot water as well as the heating.
We love a big van even though there is only two of us and the occasional grandchild
I really don’t want to go much smaller either
Thank you both
Take care
Salop have just found out
“Linda is a man”
Omg I was choking with laughter 😂,the misses came running in wondering what on earth I was watching ..
You pair are great 👍🏻
Hi Rob & Lynn, Very sorry to hear about your boiler, Have you looked at the the Fifth wheel company in Wales, as you have the pickup, best wishes Steve & Chris
Hi and no we haven’t but we will have a look
Thank you ☺️
It's the joys of motorhoming even knew vans go wrong I would stick with an older one that has had everything sorted
Yes, you have a point especially as we’ve had so much work done to ours
Hello guys its been a long time...... sadly it doesn't matter how much we all spend on leisure vehicles they all fall to bits and yes it's gutting as an engineer I would guess the heater core (like a small radiator) inside the unit has split/fractured the bumps you drove over probably was the last straw NOT your fault it should withstand such conditions but like everything in motorhome/caravan they just fall to bits one thing after another this would never be acceptable in the automotive sector but some how the leisure sector get away with it after many caravans and high end motorhomes we have now given up and built our own campervan yes less room internally nearly a divorce (lol) but now both agree best thing we ever did oh and no bangs rattles etc nothing gone wrong so happy (both of us) we made the right choice.... hope you get it sorted swiftly 👍
Hi Paul and thank you so much for the information and taking the time to write your comment it’s appreciated 👍 if we had the time we would probably do the same as you and build our own van 👍 we wish you both happy and safe travels 👍
fingers cross for you both
Thank you so much 👍
Let's hope it doesn't cost too much and repaired quickly
We have everything crossed 👍
Youll soon feel better Lynn, the bus can be fixed, Robs wallet may need resuscitation though.
Then you'll be on your travels again.
Hi and yes, it will all come right in the wash,
True and he won’t be happy 😃 🙈
So funny together!👍
That’s what 34 years of marriage gets you 🤣🤣
Thank yourself lucky I’ve got a hole in my tent so when it rains I have to keep getting up to empty the bucket 😂😂
Awww poor you
Get a bigger bucket 🤣🤣
That swift escape is a cracking mho tbf so well priced compared to most for what you get 👍
It is a lovely van isn’t 👍
Robert, the autosleeper Warwick XL is the panel van for you mate 👍
I think so too 👍

Wow and we thought we had a bad start to the new year 🤷♂️ we sincerely hope things pick up for you 👍 thank you for your comment it’s appreciated
Thanks for update... it does put me off buying a van with expensive boiler heating system in future id rather send the money spoiling the family
Fair comment 👍
I’m trying to decide between MH or caravan Which one would you say you’ve had the most problems with
They both have pros and cons.
Unfortunately if you are buying either new you will experience problems only good thing is that if you buy new you get a three year warranty
If I got a bigger bucket I would need a bigger tent so hope the new don’t have a hole😂😂
Thank you, as you’ve made me chuckle 🤭
Alde are very quick, our boiler had a fault with its electronic control board. It had to be removed and sent to Alde for testing due to it being a warranty claim, they checked it out and decided to replace the electronic control board, apparently it only took them a few days to get it back to our dealer. That was the stumbling block, when the board arrived back the dealer had forgotten whose van it was for, we had the van at home and was still using it without hot water. The dealer worked it out when I rang them to see why it was taking so long to get an electronic board tested. Anyway it’s all working fine with the new board.
If Alde repair the boiler there’s no reason it should be any less reliable than a new one. But £102 an hour for labour from the dealer it seems a bit much but I suppose it’s the going rate. Before I retired I was an aircraft avionics engineer licensed to fix Boeing 747’s and Airbus A340, A330 and A320 aircraft and the company charged third party companies less than that for labour when we worked on their aircraft. Mind you they could be paying £4000 for 12 hours to park their aeroplane on the hard stands outside our hanger, and more to park it inside!
Best of luck, hope it’s all fixed very soon.
Hi and thank you, that’s good to know, I’m going to give Salop a call this morning for an update, but it sounds like Alde are a good company so you have put our minds at rest ☺️
The labour charge is expensive but I think it’s the going rate across the board and we do trust Salop to do a good job.
Wow £4000 to park an aeroplane ✈️ 😮
That’s something you don’t think about normally so thank you for that ☺️
If you get another Van it's going to cost a lot more than this fix is! Who's to say you won't have even more problems with another?? It's the luck of the draw really! Hopefully the fix is not going to be too expensive? I'm from Kent, and moved up to Norfolk, I used to do a B&B in Dover to do Chrysler Courses! On one an old School mate took the Course I did, small world!
Hi and yes you are right, as we e had so many small problems to get fixed over the three years
And yes it really is a small world ☺️☺️
Rob his the seat belt a safety to stop the bed from falling x
Hi yes we know that 🤣🤣🤣🙈
It was a friend who saw it and said she didn’t know why it was there 🤣🤣🤞🏼
Rob Lynn .i dont like the wet heating systems we have it our bailey the bedroom never gets hot .i think blown air heatings is better you only have to drain the water down . in winter if you cant keep the m/h on mains hook up over winter you wont stop it freezing.Roger.
Hi roger it’s the first time we have had a problem with the boiler since buying the van three and a half years ago it’s always drained down so it will be interesting what they come back with 👍
At the end of the day you’ll have to get the boiler repaired, even if you’re going to sell it. Head of the Family. It doesn’t wash when l try that as well!
That’s very true we have to get it fixed no matter what 👍
Alde is only based in Wellingborough northants, I'd be taking it there myself to not only speed the process up, but to reduce any damage in transit, come on Rob get your thinking head on...
Hi yes your right but to be honest we panicked a bit because of the fluid leaking everywhere 👍
Wouldn’t it be nice if they covered the repairs free of charge, with all the free publicity you give them on your channel, how many customers has Salop gained thru your videos, just to say a little thank you for all the business gained, y’know just saying
Have you’s had a look at a A class Burstner Ixio , they are really nice
Hi and yes it’s a lovely van
