For our 40th post I’m taking advantage of some rare French 4G coinciding with a supermarket visit to give you a quick tour of our home from home. Gill says she gets the shopping done much quicker if I’m not with her…so (rubs hands) my cunning plan has paid off, mwah-ha-ha 😉
Feel free to ask any questions if you’re in the market for a motorhome or curious or just plain nosey – we’ll answer as honestly as we can. Click on any pic to enlarge.
If you’re still awake after all that, we’ll be in Nantes tonight and hopefully updating again tomorrow evening. See you soon!
Semi-retired biker, blogger and world’s best grandad. Doesn’t take life too seriously. Discovered motorhoming in 2015, sold up and downsized to fund more travels. Now with added Yorkshire.
Wow, he’s a real beauty! Thanks for the Grand Tour, including all the facts!! Reminds me of the caravan we had for a few years. We loved the freedom, especially touring on the NW coast of Scotland. Have a great evening!
Thanks for the tour around Vince
love the great big sunroof
also love the triumph cap discreetly placed in the over head locker
question…..how’s the old boy doing in the mpg performance figures
You’re very welcome. Mpg over the last 1400 miles is similar to your Triumph. 29.8mpg Not bad considering we’re on the max weight, 3500k. Cruising altitude of 56mph/90kph where possible.
Hi Ken, I was delighted to read the details regarding the van, it just so happens that myself and partner were looking at purchasing the exact same van to start our travels in 2017, I have been watching a few, the one concern I had was the amount of storage, we plan to be away for at least a couple of years, given there is no garage how do you find the space available, I have to say we have looked at lots of different makes/models, this does seem to have a great layout, come well equipped, great spec, and looks fantastic, do you wish you had more storage?
Thanks for sharing Vince. He is very similar in layout to our Bailey 75-2, which is also built on a Peugeot base, has a very spacious lounge and lots and lots of light
Thanks Sally! It means so much to us when somebody takes the trouble to get in touch. We’re hoping to get abroad again soon when our pesky house sale is all done so keep checking in for new posts 🙂 Take care, K&G&V x

Thanks Hazel! It seemed rude to be talking about him all the time when nobody has been introduced 😉 x

Currently paying 86p per litre for supermarket diesel – very happy with that!

Hi Mark thanks for getting in touch! I’ve dropped you an email with some thoughts 🙂
Take care,
Ken

The big skylights make all the difference! We looked at so many motorhomes which loooked comfortable enough but we’re really dark & dingy inside.
Just found your blog- and wow i love it! I have a similar dream for a few years time! Love vince, looks perfect!
