Thanks for sharing. Look like you guys are loving the van. We bought Nelly, a Peugeot, Autosleeper Symbol (1996 model) at the end of last season and taking her on our first trip the second week of April. We have been caravans for years and we are very excited to be going on our first campervan holiday. :)

Oh wow….30 years old! Very cool. We certainly are enjoying our travels. It’s funny how we name our vans, isn’t it - Angel is a great name for a camper. Thanks for your comment and happy campervaning 👍🏻🙂

I have the same as you a 2003 Symbol called fudge and we love ours too

Fudge! What great name! Symbol’s are great, aren’t they….perfect lay out for the size of van 👍🏻🙂

Enjoyed your vlog. I am a regular visitor to the New Forest, often camping with my children (all teenagers but they love it) and frequently on my motorbike as I ride to Poole Quay in the summer for 'bike night' on a Tuesday evening (often 1000+ bikes meet up there, it's quite a spectacle)... When I camp I generally stay in a 'camping in the forest' site as there are few restrictions on where you can park and the New Forest ponies, cows, horses and dear wander freely amongst the tents and vans...

Definitely worth it…..even for nice day trips at the weekend, as well as longer camping trips 🙂

What mpg do you get with your Talbot ? I suppose it's a 1.9 diesel engine , isn't it? Do you have electric steering wheel or is it the original one ? TIA !

Hi….Sorry for the late reply. Our van is a Peugeot, Autosleeper Symbol (2000 model), so not a Talbot. It’s a 1.9 petrol engine (not a diesel). It’s the original steering wheel that came with it.

I have same van can you tell where you got the Silver Black out covers From Thanks

That’s awesome Kevin……Yes, we also had a bit of welding work done. Have fun in your Harmony. Having a campervan gives a great sense of freedom, doesn’t it 🙂

Does your van have toilet and shower?

@theealesadventures5062

Жыл бұрын

Hi…..Yes it does! The shower is a wet room shower though, rather than a separate shower room. We just use the showers on the campsites, although it’s good to know we have a shower on board should we need it.

@The Eales Adventures thanks for your reply looking into getting a small camper but a shower is a must for me

@theealesadventures5062

No problem….It has a shower, but it’s in the same room as the toilet (wet room) with a shower curtain to protect the door. I know what you mean though, an actual separate shower would be ideal. I guess it depends on what things you’re willing to compromise on when it comes to small camper vans. We love how some of the newer vans have started having a separate shower room and a toilet occupying the same space by cleverly swinging a wall with the washroom sink round. Expensive though (for us, anyway).

For God sake say something
