    We had our semi air suspension fitted in January after collecting the van (Burstner Eliseo)in December, game changer, now all you really need is hydraulic jacks all round, it makes arriving on site so much easier and so quick to set up, no lugging levelling ramps around with you. Hurry up with rest of the van build, we want to see more of your European travel adventures, you were very much an inspiration to us when we start traveling in our T6, we’ve been following you since your honeymoon.

    @robww5921 5 дней назад

    Having just hit my water tank coming down the hill from Cocos wild camp this video is perfectly timed. So do you get a rear wheel lift potential for off road, or is that only on full air suspension? And if so, how high? And what extra payload do you get?

    • @ABusAndBeyond
      @ABusAndBeyond 5 дней назад

      We did have a quick look when we first put air in and it’s about 20-30mm difference from fully aired out to full pressure so I wouldn’t really recommend this as a system for off roading. You’d need to replace other parts of your suspension for that really. We will find out about payload in the future and I’ll be filming it all as well 👍

    You are quite right to draw some attention to this van. It’s better than the GC in every respect. It’s insulated. The tanks are insulated and beatable if necessary. The top bed is a proper length. The rear travel seats have depth and a careful contour . They also separate a little to give more width in transit. The kitchen is properly thought out with a big sink. I saw the rising/ lowering bed variant. It’s fantastic and so easy to use. Bring mechanical it won’t suck juice from the battery. Preserves great flexibility at the rear end. No way will I buy a GC having scrutinised one of these. Goood for you in putting this on my radar !

    I'm new to the campervan and motorhome world and it was your review of the Knaus Boxlife XL which lead to my decision to eventually go for a Knaus 600MQ with pop top. Ticked all the boxes for me apart from it being on a Fiat Ducato chassis which I hope I don't regret going forward. Saw this model at the NEC and didn't pay much attention to it but after watching your in depth review I can't see the point of a pop top that you can't sleep in and the loss of storage space for extra head height seems a poor trade off. The faff faff involved in setting up the shower I think would soon become very annoying for most people. However purely my opinion and I am sure some people will absolutely love it. Taking delivery of the MQ next month, both excited and nervous and if I ever bump into you on the road I think I owe you a drink or two for steering me in the right direction.

    My late ex Father in Law had a late 60's Romany CA campervan. I've never seen one since that had the extras style his had. It had a deeper windscreen (so MK2), the headlights had a 'cowled' fibreglass? appearance. The side flash went into a curved 'fin' and if I remember correctly the rear indicator lights were mounted in the 'fin' along with a red stop/side light. I've seen the front cowl effect on other CA conversations but never a front and rear treatment that his had. The interior plastic Formica type woodwork was in a greyish wood effect. The sliding doors had a catch built in so they could be driven open. No seatbelts back then either so today that would be a nightmare of sliding off the seat whilst driving 😯 Enough of memory lane in 2024. Cheers DougT
