Another great site find, it looks really nice there, perfect for a few days away. Good to see the Tank back on its plinth at Thetford and the memorial. Pity it’s the last one but I guess age catches up with us all. Another great vlog full of helpful info. Hope to see both soon. Best wishes H&M.😊

Glad the weather was nice for you , good seeing all that old stuff very interesting, will have to have a look at that site at Ormsby thanks for the info thanks again for watching the video mike & kirsty

Hi ya Mike and Kirsty. Great vlog. Brilliant D Day celebrations at Thetford. What great walks in the forests so relaxing. Fridge looks like a great investment. Loads of room in it. Think how many cans of beer you could get in there. Got my new tow car now so going to do some more Norfolk holidays in future, never know might bump into you. We went to Felixstowe remembrance day celebrations couple of years ago, just booked premier Inn for 4 nights this year to see it again, it's a great day. If you fancy going 10th of November. Thanks for a great vidio guys. Thumbs up thumped 👍 ....Pete....

Hi pete that’s good having a tow car so much more flexibility now We looked into getting one when we had the large motorhome , so handy to have , yes we really enjoyed that d-day show it was really interesting seeing all that and hearing them talking about it the fridge holds lots of beer 👍🍻😂 thanks again for watching and commenting mike & kirsty

Morning Mike & Kirsty, loves where you are, it never bothered us going somewhere local, we have on a couple of occasions stayed at Alpine grove it’s a mile away from our house when we lived in the uk, but you could be anywhere 🤣 we love our compressor fridge brilliant bit of kit, and did not miss our larger vans, we adapted so quickly to our Dethleffs globetrail for 3 weeks in the south of France, if you enjoyed the military vehicles where you are you have to get yourselves over here for the 6th June next year there are more jeeps, trucks, tanks, dispatch bikes and sidecar combinations, armoured cars etc than you can shake a stick at, I’m sure you will be amazed, do Portsmouth to Caen and your 30 minutes from the invasion beaches, one day guys hopefully 😊….

Hi pete yes the dream trip that would be ! , well all of normandy we’d love to see but especially all around the coast and honfleur of course where all the tourists go to that huge aire there , it will happen but just can’t yet , the dream trip !

@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel hi guys there are great Aires de camping car everywhere over here, but Honfleur is a very pretty town and the Aires is huge but does get packed, to be honest Mike the whole coast of Normandie & Bretagne are where the tourist go inc the french from down south 😊

Nice D DAY tribute, the french also do the most amazing job looking after all the war memorials, they actually do the fallen proud, i was hoping when you opened the swap box little noel Edmunds was going to jump out 😂🤣😂, in our motorhome we have a 3 way fridge but i think the way to go is a compressor, i think they win hands down, 3 ways are in my opinion to temperamental in hot temperatures, as you've experienced, sun on the fridge side of the van and they dont cope well at all, the trick is to actually turn them down at that point, and not up, turning them up makes them work harder creating heat, anyway another enjoyable vlog keep them coming 👍.

hi Stephen yeah good point turning them down instead of up , makes sense , i think the compressors are great given sufficient enough solar and batteries and also no exterior vents which i forgot to mention ! Noels swap box 😂😂 , always kick myself for never thinking or coming up with the one liners at the time 😡 , as i think i’ve mentioned before normandy is the one we want to do mostly , staying all over that area , the time will come but just can’t yet .. thanks again for watching and commenting Mike & Kirsty 👍

Nice video as always 👍 We would never go back to a three way fridge having had a compressor - ours is a taller one than yours on top of the wardrobe which saves our knees ! May we ask where you got the seat covers from as we are looking for exactly the same (a link would be brilliant 👍) - thanks

Hi thanks for watching the video , yes we’d like the taller fridge too ! the exact covers are no longer available but we did a search and found , (what we think) are similar amzn.eu/d/02VOBDBb

@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel Brilliant thanks - we do have some which we got from Temu but they are as thick as a pair of ladies tights !! They do protect a bit but look horrible ! - our fridge is 80L Thetford - we never hear it at night although last night we put it on ‘moon’ mode which seems to have used less battery. We have a cheap DC House200ah lifepo4 which we got from Amazon for under £400 and it’s brilliant. No fancy app but not really needed - I hear that Fogstar are bringing out a budget lifepo4 as well. We are like you really and don’t use the van every week so wasn’t prepared to spend a fortune on a battery that would just sit in the storeage yard!

Hi guys enjoying your vlog, we had a compressor fridge in our last van it was really good, it seems to get cold quite quicker than the normal type. Please can i ask where you get your covers from for your bench seats?we use throws but they are a nightmare, a lot of people recommend shein but ive never used them, yours are the right colours for our van 😊 thank you x
