    Hey everyone. There's a missing on-screen graphic at 9:56. It should show Calor's official statement about the cylinder shortage. Oops, that was my mistake. The link to Calor's statement is in the description.

    Yes good point, its so important to get the correct tyre pressures. That info is usually on a sticker on the inside of the doors or inside the fuel flap if it isn't provided at time of handover

    Perhaps when one buys a motor home , the instructions that are given at the time should also be written down, by the company that are selling it..

    I purchased a converted Ford Transit Custom Campervan and made a lot of mistakes when picking it up. I didn’t really listen to the handover due to my excitement but also did not check the finishing… I had seals that come off, Barn door handle fell off, Drivers arm rest come off within a month🤬 I however love my Camper and the many European visits to come!

    Recently stumbled upon your channel mate. Thank you for making these informative video's for us who are looking to take the plunge into van life! I couldn't find any checklist for us to copy n paste / print out to take with us in the description. It would be AMAZING if you could make one for all of us to download and use of all the things to check. I know you covered it in this video, but a nice little handy checklist would come in clutch on buy day to make sure we don't miss anything! Cheers mate, Subbed!

    Thanks for the video. I think it’s a scandal that you purchase a new motorhome and it is not supplied with gas bottles and you are expected to find your own. There should be a law requiring the manufacturer or dealer to ensure they are fitted, or at least one.
