The #1 Motorhome Mistake You Must Avoid!

Shame about the damage, but can be repaired if needed. Our van doesn't have them.
Love the area, in fact on Wednesday I rode up on my motorbike to Fort William and back from Carlisle. Loved the ride and enjoyed a steak pie from Nevis bakery in Fort William!

Bloodyhell, Redders is a great Bob a job man. Who needs steadies anyway? It’s just another thing you have to remember to take care of. Keep on trucking you guys, great to watch your vids❤️ When you going over the channel next? Xx

Apart from 240v still plugged in. We've done that. it's the step staying out and hitting something. We didn't actually do that but have seen others who have. As you said, if you didn't have them you can pretend you still dont.

We all make mistakes even we'll travelled ones of us. We are the same things breaking needing attention that's van life. Thanks for sharing

but you a coffee?! buy you a coffee......I hate spell checker 🤣🤣

Hi guys. Sorry to see your mishap but.... there are worse things. Also, I think you said you didn't realise you had them for several months, so probably not too bad not having them again now🤷. Anyway, some superb places in your video as usual. Are you going to the "Western" Camping and caravan show (15th -19th ) at the Malvern show ground in August? If so and we see you there we'll but you a coffee to drown your sorrows...Yeee! Harr! Take care both. 👩‍🦲👩‍🦳🐕🚐🤠 🙂👍

Hi guys I’m a patron how do I access it please.xx

That’s why i do a last-minute walk around, looking up and down, plus looking underneath all round before moving off. Then look back after moving off where you were parked to check nothing left.

You both have seen some amazing scenery.Stay safe,take care.Thankyou for the video.J

Oh dear! Accidents happen. At least the steadies didn't damage the chassis. Stunning views. And loving watching Dolly and Pippa in the water. Pippa makes me laugh. Love her.

Which generator do you have guys? Is it diesel? ...maybe Ive missed a video on this? Thank you. X

£15 for one night's parking.

Imagine if it was every night.......

What a back ground picture

Gutted for you guys, we've only just had our steadies fitted but after watching this we think we're going to put flags and bunting out and attach them to the steadies lol. Love the videos

As owners of a 'big long wallowing bus' , 8.7m long tag axle with an island bed, we definitely get bouncy at the back 😂 I just put 2 jacks under the back to stop the wobble 😁

Oh no so sorry about the broken steady.
Shit happens lovelies, at least the van is still usable.
Beautiful views on the chair lift ❤x

Oh dear young Redders's but don't fret , when I was caravanning I was always ripping steadies off . Now I've got a van I don't even bother with levelling blocks . If it looks semi OK then that will do . Fantastic scenery in this one Redders . We're going to have to have another go at parts of the 500 again . Take care , we're back in the uk on Sunday after a brilliant Normandy tour , take care , love from the old Redders's .xx

Gutted for you! We did exactly the same a few years ago, but got away with it 😰 We now have a big sign that we put on the dash - Rear legs are down! The cable car looked fab! Amazing views. You’re giving us Scotland envy. It’s four years since we drove the NC500! Thanks for sharing 🚍☀️

£17 per person or per ride, and is that for a return ticket or one way? Fantastic area and views, think this has to go on my bucket list.

I used to fit tow bars to motorhomes, (now retired ) we used to remove steadies,try contacting companies that fit tow bars they will probably have redundant ones, or remove it should be an easy fix for a welder.

Spectacular. Don’t worry about the steadies. You’ll be fine without. We have a broken spring in our door and Burstner want £650 for a whole new mechanism so trying to source a spring but really struggling. Always something to fix. 😢🚌❤️

Nice thank you for sharing 😊

We don't use stabilizers because of that exact reason 😂. Keep trucking, lesson learned ❤

Hi Both cheer up words of wisdom ( Don’t Worry nothing major you are both safe & sound & your 2 beautiful furry friends are safe to ) that is all that matters just annoying enjoy the rest of your trip 💖👍🦋 Lin

Another great video, thank you for all your trips and tips. Mishaps happen give yourself a slap and move on at least no one was hurt. What equipment do you use to do? Your videos always seems very good quality. Take care.

steddiers should be conected to the ignition and non start until raised.

We made a schoolboy error with our boat and pulled away whilst plugged in to EHU, learnt an expensive mistake !!

Another great Vlog guys. Pitty about the damage. But it can be sorted. ❤

is the water brown because its whisky? 🤣. sorry to hear about your van.

I have a pair of alko steadies that you can have. They have been sitting in our garage for a couple of years. They were taken off my MH after a year when I had hydraulic legs fiited. I live close to Bluewater on the A2 when you're passing.

morrissons seem to be the the best place for lpg

Hope you manage to get the motorhome sorted folks. Ben Nevis was absolutely gorgeous. ❤

I think we all get days like that, accident after accident. I usually choose to stay indoors at those times. Great video xx

🫣 at least your still able to drive, easy mistake to make. There should be an audible alarm on these things when they are down and when you put ignition key in it should sound a warning. 🫶

Hi I've done the Same over the years. I'm with you all the way my friend. All the best. ×××××

Aww bad luck guys. Think of all the things you've fixed not broken. You forgot to mention the oven. Hope to see you at Camperlife this weekend. x

That's a bummer with your steadies,but at least it's not stopped you travelling,Glen Co is a beautiful part of the country. Take care,see you next time.

Not much to replace . 😢

I think you past Jimmy Savilles's place just before you got to the aire!

I wouldn’t worry too much about about your leg damage. My best one is driving off while you’re still plugged in to 240v 🤣🤣👌👍

We stayed at Glencoe, can't remember paying anything for it. Times change. Your van seems to be going into that phase of life where more and more stuff breaks. Maybe you should look into getting a slightly newer version. Great Scotland series, thanks so much. Have a safe trip!

Thanks

those things are expensive

#1. Chit happens. Make a plan and move on. #2. Pre-flight check list maybe?
Glad to see you are not disheartened. 👍

O dear sorry for your problems that’s the thing with vehicles good to see Pippa in the water they are both so adorable ❤

Agree with your comments on the LPG situation. In the whole of UK situation is dire. Keep getting told it's either maintenance on pumps, replacement too expensive or can't get the LPG. I recently got in touch with an LPG bottle provider who says that things are on the up again and shouldn't be a problem to get refills. Why does it cost roughly £1k to get the system and bottles installed and they don't tell you, you can't easily get the gas?! We've just got back from France after 4wks and neigh on every garage is selling LPG (or GPL as they call it). We filled our bottles before coming back. We don't want to use Calor Gas as their cost is extortinate. And believe they are not selling new bottles atm only refills (here in the SE at least). What is going on in the UK?!

Thanks for information off to glencoe and aviemore for Christmas was wondering what it was like . Brilliant video

Hi guys, sad to see that but I think you are being told your van is slowly coming to an end ,you need to do some maintenance on your undercarriage as well. Start looking for a new one
Long time dead and you can’t take it with you .Best of luck

You really didn't have much luck on the Scotland trip, I used axle stands on our motorhome as steadies obviously it's more to carry and a bit more faff but much cheaper than fitted steadies but it stops the bounce when walking up and down, Hope your both well
