Crafty CampervannersThe TOP 3 DISASTERS In Our Leisure Vehicle - Or Top 3 Motorhome Fails
OK, one was in a caravan, but worth re-telling the story. A Caravanning Navigation Error - don't always believe your GPS!
Another fail included our motorhome stuck in the mud - Is camping in the mud a good thing?
You won't believe this! A bit of buyer's remorse perhaps? Can Pete cure his earache? Can Kaz be comfortable? What about Herb? Where do we go from here?

Pete manages to forget Kaz's ebike battery, and we almost visit a famous man's farm.
The Cotswold Hills Country Park is near Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds, near to Clarksons Farm, which we would have visited had we had both bikes working.
We were supposed to visit earlier for the @DolittleCampers wedding do but could not make it and had to re-schedule our booking.
It's a nice site for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, and tents. Kaz gives us a guided tour, and experiences some haunting tunes in the toilet.
Off camera, we both manage to trip over our own feet while out walking the dogs.

Pete & Kaz - The Crafty Campervanners https://CraftyCampervanners.comHaloview Camera - Whats Behind Us?Crafty Campervanners2023-05-05 | We review the Haloview Wireless Camera, we can always see what's behind us now!
The full name of the system is Haloview S7 Sophon AI System
Pete talks about the camera, unboxes it, works out where all the wires go (wireless ;) ?) installs it in Roxy, our Bailey Motorhome ad then takes it for a spin in our Corsa.
I was able to get the record to SD card working, but at HD ready 720 resolution, the footage is not as good as the GoPro 4K - the frame rates also differ, affecting playback for video editing. In the non-editing world, the resolution and frame rate are not an issue. It's also good to point out that the reversing guidelines are not superimposed upon recorded footage, but the 'danger zone' is.
We found that the external audio was a little distracting, and we were glad to have found a way of turning this off. Especially good for motorway driving.

Would we carry on using this product? We are not sure! I would recommend a better mount than the goose-neck, & the kit does have more permanent and stable options. The delay can be quite noticeable, fine for a slow reverse, but a bit hard to get used to when used as arear-view camera - don't rely on the one-way comms here either, two ways instantaneous is far better.

Roxy is a Bailey Approach Autograph 765. She's new to us. - Our new motorhome, our new RV, our new leisure vehicle.
This is Herb's replacement, and our second motorhome - we hope that we are going to be keeping Roxy for a while - we're both over the moon!!
We wanted more comfort, we wanted a lounge area, we wanted a larger dinette - We got all of those.
There will be improvements made to this motorhome, we also need to do our first shakedown trip.
As Roxy's a bit, ahem, 'larger framed', (3850kg) which is over the 3500kg limit a UK code B licence allows, Pete is going to face the medicals, bureaucracy, learning, theory test, hazard perception test, practical training,and final exam to get some sort of Private Heavy Goods Vehicle Licence. On reflection, this is a good thing. (Passed your test in 1991 driving a Fiat Uno?, no problem, hop straight into a 7500kg monster, they are just the same!) 😜😜😜😜😜

Pete & Kaz - The Crafty Campervanners https://CraftyCampervanners.comFull Review of Chausson 717 & 777Crafty Campervanners2023-04-18 | We do a full review of herb (a Chausson 717 GA motorhome, and his modern replacement, a Chausson 777.
Do we go with the 777 as a replacement for Herb? Does our search continue? Which van has the ultimate motorhome layout?
Herb and the 777 share an excellent array of external storage lockers, unfortunately, all of this space available from the inside has the effect of reducing the interior space - perhaps both of these motorhomes suffer from accommodating too much stuff, not enough people space? We found that the dinette in the 777 was a MUCH better design, and appreciated the modernisation of the midships area, the kitchen and bathroom.
We do a full van tour Chausson 717 Welcome GA and a full van tour of a Chausson 777. So, not a single motorhome review, but two motorhome reviews in one video - is this the best review ever?

*The draw is now COMPLETE* - We will soon be announcing the recipient of these trainers in an upcoming #short
If you are the recipient of these shoes, and they don't fit you either, please pass 'em on for free to someone else.
Kaz would buy Fitville trainers again - she's incredibly happy with the comfort - she also knows which size will fit (this is often a problem with online purchases of shoes and clothing).
These shoes are great for those with diabetes. There also good for plantar fasciitis. We're absolutely/definitely not claiming a cure, but they do make walking more comfortable for Kaz.

Pete & Kaz - The Crafty Campervanners https://CraftyCampervanners.comHow we got SUPER FAST INTERNET in a MOTORHOMECrafty Campervanners2023-04-05 | How we got SUPER FAST INTERNET in a MOTORHOME
Pete installs a Fast Motorhome Internet 5G Router connected to a Poynting 5G puck style antenna, using a ZTE MU5001 5G MiFi Router,
This video was filmed in December 2022. We have now used the router and antenna on several trips in Herb, and we are still happy with this solution.
It's also good to be £20 better off each month - that's a good deal!
It's Pete's first time frilling a hole in a roof, it went well, and importantly, no leaks after some torrential weather.

Pete & Kaz - The Crafty Campervanners https://CraftyCampervanners.comHuntstanton to Stratford-Upon-Avon, Cheese & GhostCrafty Campervanners2023-04-04 | Last vlog in this mini-tour. We travel from Hunstanton to Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare. Kaz gets on her bike and shares some facts with us. In an adult fashion, we debate the constituents of bubble tea... Some shopping occurs, but we couldn't figure out why all the Oxford and London tat was being flogged in Stratford...
Interesting stopover in the town of Stilton, the town the cheese was named after. Of course we had some Stilton - rude not to!.
We went on a ghost experience tour at Tudor World - well worth it! To dark to film inside, but did we see a ghost, did you see one in the video. The weird noises we recorded just before we went in are not special effects (like the wolf howl and se noise), not do we remember hearing them when we filmed - Are some previous patrons trying to get our attention...
An excellent (almost Aire) like experience at The Stratford Leisure Center. £20 per 24 hours, max stay 72hrs. Well worth the convenience factor.
From Stratford, we headed home. Got to get ready for our next adventure.

Well, it's NOT the Denver in Colorado we drove to, it's in Norfolk. Denver Mill, a very picturesque site next to a fishing lake, quite a contrast to the hustle and bustle (off season) in Skegness.
We overnighted at the Mill Caravan Site and Fishing Lake, Close to the town of Denver Mill. England's most picturesque CS? @CampandCaravanning
It's not the Denver in Colorado ;)
Thanks to @CampsiteWarden and @TravelTrollsTV for putting up with us at #thenurseries in #mumby. :) :) :)
