One question, when I bring my motorhome out of storage and go on holiday, will it bombard me with alarms because it is out of geofence area, and is going at 50mph etc? or can you tell it that you are legitimately moving it.

    Well done that man. 👍The pip that came off was the turbo pipe from the intercooler. It happens to a lot of vehicles with turbo .what happens is the rubber pipe tends settle and then the clip is loose it need checking at both ends every now and again to make sure they're tight. Which is why put spring loaded clips on these days.

    We had that with Nessa. Except we had a split that looked like it had been sliced it was so neat. That was our intercool hose. So with panel adhesive super glue and duck tape I fixed it. Then ordered a new hose for when we got home. Goes straight into limp mode and it’s fun when you get near a hill. Nessa was no stranger to limp mode. Hopefully with the new gearbox that will be a thing of the past. Bedale is lovely. May have to check out the campsite for future trip planning.

Just had to change leisure battery. Went for a Lithium Phosphate battery so will see how that goes as I don’t know how the old analog panel will get on with a battery that more power can be drawn from. Not a bad thing if it still only allows half usage like before. Shouldn’t have an issue as we have solar and quite low consumption. Will be also interesting to see if we can do Mull and back without any mechanical issues popping up. As we haven’t managed it yet. Hopefully this will be the first time. Still it adds a bit of excitement to the journey if we do have something to fix. Old A Classes fun and games I guess.

    You make amazing videos, and i have watched alot of them :) Thank you for it and Its inspiring me to buy a moterhome. You are using a 26 years old Hymer, how is it going mechanically ? What speed you can drive it ? can it go upto 100 or 110 km/h speeds ? i am looking into buying the similar Hymer probably 2000 model, do you think it make sense to buy it in 2024 ? other option which i m thinking is an overcab moterhome. We are family of four so we need seats and sleeping place for 2 kids and 2 adults. i want to have not too large size, easy to drive and manover, and strong enough to climb norwegian mountains. What do you recommend for a family of four to have their first moterhome, which is relatively cheap and reliable ?

      Thanks @sohailzafar4430 👍 Mechanical we've changed a few things like the suspension and brakes. I drive on motorways at 70 mph. It's not very fast but it eventually gets us there. It doesn't like hills being only a 2.5 diesel with no turbo. It is a 4 birth with 6 seat belts but 4 people is cramped. You could rent a motorhome first to see if you do like that sort of holiday and it might give you an idea of whether your family will fit in a motorhome. I hope that helps? 👍👍

    The thing is. Too low rpm’s in fifth will starve the gear of oil as the gear sits outside the gearbox and relies on enough rpm’s to "fling” or carry the oil over to the gear. Hitting 50 is irrelevant, high enough rpm’s before putting a load on the gear is the fix.

    Hey . Try to used the delta 2 max with 2 extra battery and have two 400 watt solar panel on the roof of your rv. That should be enough power on board to run all day and all night .

      Thanks, but the test was to find out how long we could last on one charge, @gabriellobo25. Also, I only had what I had

    Hi Ad, can I ask you a question please. Have you ever looked into needing or getting an exhaust? If so do you have any advice on where to purchase a Hymer 2004 b544 2.8 jtd from. Ours has just failed it mot today 😢. I do watch all your videos but don’t recall seeing one cheers Sue.
