DENTED MOTORHOME!.. Top tips !! Did we manage to fix it ?
Nice to have some extra storage, we do tend to use our awning as we rarely move the van once pitched.
Just watched again as in my feed. Looked a lovely calm walking spot and liked your artistic rain, water and reflections too. Seeing the beauty in a puddle by the road is great isn’t it even though a peaceful fields setting is perfect :). Made me realise I must buy some new wellies ! Thanks for sharing your travels. 😊
@@melaniehewetson428 thanks for watching
So so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved Lexi x
@@dotshaw1660 thank you ❤️
Hi ya Mike and Kirsty. This is my second comment on this vlog. So you might get this twice if the other one comes through.🤔 You two never fail to make us laugh. I knew what was going to happen with that peg.😅 Kirsty has got it made, when you upset her Mike I know where she is going to send you, if you lucky she might give you a chair to sit in.😊 Thanks for the great vlog guys. Thumbs up thumped 👍 ....Pete and Su....
Hi pete & sue yep she’ll send me straight to the tent if i upset her 😂…. i’ll take the dog with me though, the tent looked so easy to put up on their website , always does though dont it 😂 oh well i’m sure we’ll get used to it … maybe 🤔 thanks again for watching guys take care of Mike & Kirsty 👍😀
Hi guys. Great idea using a shower tent,never thought of that we have just bought a drive away awning to give us more storage, it will be ok on longer stays but wont use it for weekends away. Might look into one of those you have. Hope your both ok xx
Hi julie we are fine thank you , We loved our drive away awning we had a few years back but never stayed anywhere long enough to put it up as you say , we can now put this one up in less than 3 mins! it took us a few attempts but so glad we bought it , nice and light thanks for watching and happy camping 😀
I've had a bad day but you two have put a smile on my face, loved this video 👏👏
thats nice to know thanks Janice & hope you have a better day tomorrow 👍😀
@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel thanks happy caravaning 😁
Simply zero patience on anything Tent ⛺️ oriented,over to the wife ,take the dog walk,back it be up. Don’t shower in the wind ,albeit it flys away and you there with your Brut 35 and a Scrunchie 🥱
😂😂👍 best advice kev , i’ll take the dog out next time , let her do it , they made it look so easy online on their website !
how is your wee dog doing without his pal?
not so good really , refusing to eat and she’s a different dog now , totally changed , sad to see , thanks for asking
@@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel so sorry to hear that .
A fabulous idea 👏👏 and I’m glad you know what you are doing 😂
Thank you! 😊 😂
Wow; good, but expensive 😮 Great video again 👌💙❤️
Thank you! 😃
Morning guys great vid giggled all the way through it beware of anything that says “all you have to do” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you could do with awning strap mate, and you defo wasn’t in the scouts 😊 good fun you guys you always bring a smile to my face, …. Pete🇫🇷
Hi pete glad it was entertaining 😂 as you saw we are not tent people at all , it looked so easy to do on their website 😂😂 We have put it up once more since that video and getting a bit faster its only taking us half an hour now 😂 cheers , have a good week 👍 mike & kirsty
Much love to you all!
No no no, Tents are for Hippies!
😂😂👍
That vlog was entertaining enough but I wish I could have been on the next pitch with a comfy chair and a beer because I'm sure tha vlog was edited?it was funny anyway.😂😂😂❤❤
we hid behind the van so no one could watch 😂 i wish i’d have left the edited bits in Jim , it would have made for a funnier video 😂 thanks for watching mike & kirsty
Thanks man for sharing i was so frustrated with mine! I thought the end caps were the issue! Your a life saver God bless 🙏 thank you for sharing...
welcome , glad it helped
😂😂😂
Really great to see you both smiling again after the rotten few months you've both had. Made me laugh as I'm as 'ham fisted' as you are 😂. Like you it takes the other half to sort it !! Take care both. All the very best. Regards VANESSA AND COLIN WELLS
Hi colin & Vanessa. We got there in the allbeit a bit wonky 😂 shouldn’t have attempted it in the wind really , well thats my excuse ! 😀 thanks again for watching Mike & kirsty 👍
Weren't meant to be funny Mike but that was entertaining mate! Your very fussy but we were the same couldn't have a crease in the awning!😄
they made it look so easy on their website . one person in 1 minute they claim. i suppose if you are used to tents its possible , not for us though 😂 thanks for watching mike & kirsty
You need to have to door zipped closed to keep the shape, even if you just move it! Hope you are both good!
Thanks for the tip!
It looks very good! Bit over priced I thought! As you said will come in handy! Guy rope pegs ideally should be put in roughly at 45 degree angle giving you a right angle 90' peg to Guy line, less chance of the peg being pulled straight out! The straighter the peg goes in, the easier it will be pulled out!
thanks for info , we’ve never used a tent before it was a bit of a learning curve, they make it look so easy on their website!
Great to see you wave to us as we leave on camera, oh and Beryl the dog says hi to Zola
it was the first time we saw zola do a zoomy for a while when she met beryl , was great to see her happy 😃
Great idea, very useful, always good to have some outside storage. 👍
cheers paul we needed that extra storage especially when it rains and have to roll awning in
I have only just seen your blog about Lexy. I am so very sorry to hear of your sad loss she was a cute little lady. I hope that you are both doing OK under the circumstances. Thinking of you both x
@@tracyanger5088 thank you yes it was a bit sudden & totally unexpected 😔 they are truly family , she is greatly missed
That’s spot on guys 👍,all instructions say 2 mins lol it’s like having nuts n bolts left ! You did alright putting it up and nice bit of kit 👍👍 Cheers Sean
cheers sean so fiddly those things but got there in the end at least , thanks for watching mike & kirsty 👍
We too have lost our dogs and know what you will be going through. There are some really disgusting people who hide behind a keyboard and think its good to say nasty things well they are just sad little people who probable don't have a life . But you do and that little dog has given you some fab memories xx
thank you ❤️
Always nice to see a professional erection, that came out wrong 🤣
That wore me out watching you put that utility tent up (only joking)
it wore me out too ! 😂
Which "ship" pitch were you on? 😊 We're Irresistible in a fortnight...
@@PaulDevall dreadnaught , 13 … our fav is pitch 8 , cant remember the ship for 8 , think its hitchinbrook , have a great time 👍😀
Mike how would you cope without Kirsty 😂😂you wouldn't we suspect, when you said the price we thought you was going to say double that, £149 is fair enough for that, a few goes and you'll have it up in no time, on saying that we'd love to be on the next pitch watching 🤣🤣🤣, handy for storing thing's, saves keep getting down pushing things under the van, anyway another enjoyable vlog keep them coming 👍.
i wished i’d kept the camera rolling we struggled to be honest and i felt a bit embarrassed , its a simple pop up tent but no we couldn’t get it right , it went up & stayed up in the end but just couldn’t get it to straighten up 😂 happy with the purchase though it seems well made thanks again for watching & commenting 👍😀
Looks a great utility tent. Take care Gill
@@Wheres_wanda_wandering its a great little tent very happy with it take care mike & kirsty
Ha 2 minutes , they lie 😂😂😂. Looks quite substantial though and we do like Colapz gear. Great site Nelson’s Patch . A bit of a lean in the shower no bad thing Mike , let’s the water drain away 😂. Kudos to you guys , not many channels could make a tent erection video interesting, but you have . Best wishes Helen and Martin
@@HelenandMartinsTreks thanks guys , love the tent now its been a few weeks , always visit the colapz stalls at the shows so much interesting stuff take care both 👍😀
Haha that was entertaining Mike and Kirsty. Nice little utility tent but quite pricey. I do believe in the theory of buy well and buy once so with that in mind, it’s probably worth it based on the quality and design. I would definitely invest in some storm straps for you canopy on the van, it’s expensive to repair or replace the arms as I found out on Smirf 🙂 Safe travels 👍🏻🚐💙 Trev n Sue
@@PoshcatsCamping Hi Trev & Sue yes agree with the buy well buy once , hopefully will last us it serves a good purpose at least, thanks guys have a good week mike & kirsty 👍😀
Hi ya Mike and Kirsty. Tell you what you never fail to make us laugh. Soon as you started hammering that peg in knew what was going to happen.😅 Kirsty has got it made, when you upset her Mike you know where she is going to send you, she might even put a chair in there for you.😊 Thanks guys great vlog. Thumbs up thumped 👍 ....Pete and Su....
Nice storage idea giving more room in the van!👍
@@G.J..Journeys cheers graeme its definitely useful for us 👍
Nice vid Mike. Don't think you were in the boy scouts though!
@@michaeljohnson7009 definitely wasn’t 😂 kirsty seemed to know what she was doing though ! cheers mike 👍
In on one was traci and 35 seconds later i got number two not that were are Nerds but sunday is our video day her in the kitchen and me in my art studio. It gives you more room but lose the wire pegs Have fun and crack on

So sorry for your loss Kirsty & Mike it’s such a massive blow to loose an animal. Keep the videos coming we love them 😢

Hi mike and Kirsty, great vlog as usual, i can realy feel for you both. As we have lost many fury friends over the years. They are all such special friends. Very brave of you to do another vlog so soon. All the best. Adam.
Thanks adam , they are truly family and a huge loss when they depart , thanks for watching the video and commenting mike & kirsty

It was nice to meet you both at Nelsons patch last week, hope you enjoyed the rest of your break and got to sample the pub this time ? We may call in at Lynford lakes tomorrow on our way back from Wells, is there plenty of room to park the camper and is parking expensive for campers ?
@@The-Salty-Bager hi was nice to meet you too , loved your dog as did zola! you should be fine in your van but we was there quiet early so not sure if it gets really busy later on , i don’t think we paid to park and yes we went into the pub at nelsons patch , lovely meal , we had the ribs! Wasn’t expecting so many ! really enjoyed it though , thanks for watching the video and most probably bump into you again some time 👍
