  • Hi Bob and Jenny a great video as ever and would love to visit clumber park it looks a great place with lots to see and do and looks a great site as well and so relaxing especially limited phone reception 😂 glad konnie is doing well and also that you are happy I wouldn’t go back to a manual now the auto is better but must be Stellantis products with auto lock and radio eco mode I have the same on my 308! All the best to you both Daniel
  • Love Clumber Park. Ollerton is my dad’s birthplace. His ashes are scattered in the Rose Garden at Rufford park. ❤❤
  • @janegray
    Bob we lived in Clumber park for 5 years it’s a wonderful place to be and close to Rufford Abbey Country Park and Sherwood Forest thanks for the lovely video 😊
  • @timw2973
    Thanks for showing the TV mountings, much appreciated. We were only at Clumber last weekend - nice and peaceful, nice site. Good dog walks and also the NT to look around. Thanks
  • Hi Bob great video as always. Quick question about the charging system with the smart alternator when you checked the battery level were you plugged into the EHU at the time? I would get a lower reading before I connect.
  • @waynesmith577
    Hi Bob, Love the videos and the new van. I’ve been reading about the rust and corrosion that can (eventually) rust and rot the bottom of the sump on Fiat Ducato engines. Given you have a new van, have you ever considered fitting an under engine cover? I’ve seen them on eBay but can’t find any videos about them (which is strange). If you haven’t considered it, do you know if any of your motorhome collaborators have fitted one? Many thanks.
  • @teddygas9689
    Great video,,,,Surely it’s progressive cruise control now so no need to slow as it will follow car ahead ??
  • Another great vlog We love thoresby hall Your doing great with the weight loss 🎉
  • @LeisureBit
    We are having a nightmare with our satnag too. It had been working great until recently but now it seems to find us the smallest, single track lanes to go down. 😡 Have you updated your soft ware at all?
  • Just thought I’d give you an update on our reversing sensors that don’t work. After locating the place where the audible speaker should be fitted, we have found that Swift have not fit the speaker! There are only loose wires. Also the 784 has the fresh water tank positioned low underneath, consequently the drain off valve gets caught and falls off if you go over speed bumps. We are currently in this position. Love listening and watching you both you have a vey calm manner 😊

    ENOYED IT, ALL THE BEST FROM THA KINGDOM. OF THAILAND 🇹🇭
  • @MotoringMatilda
    Quite a place that! The museum looked great too. One day :). Ian

    Why not Just use the tv to listen to the radio ? I assume it’s a digital tv so all the radio channels are available on the channel guide
  • @Rockdadify
    Another great video Bob, door locks, once you unlock the vehicle, open a front door and close it, that will stop the central locking activating after about 30 seconds, had the same problem with the Ford Transit cab. Vehicle charging when travelling, yes it uses a smart alternator, this is linked to a DC to DC charger linked to the leisure habitation battery, without this mod the leisure battery will not charge.

    Many thanks Bob and Jenny. I love the "Arrival and setting up" Vlogs, they show a wealth of information and the tour of a site. I'm thick as two short planks with Motorhomes at the moment, so forgive me - am listening to your frustration with the Auto-lock feature in particular - I wonder if Todd's or a Swift Service Centre can attach their laptop to your system to add, amend or include extra features or disable certain other features? As this is software-based, it could be an easy fix - worth enquiring Bob? Also, I love, love, love the gorgeous red de-cals on your Motorhome, very distinguished. I also love the facilities at Clumber Park, in particular the Shower/Cubicles, they look mint. Enjoy yourselves, and until next time, take care. 😊

    The beauty of the radio going off after 20 minutes, is you can go to bed with radio on and it will turn off without you needing to get up.
