After many great foreign holidays (both land based and cruises) we decided in 2019 to save up for a campervan to explore our own back yard (the UK) and seek out new adventures. When COVID hit in 2020, it only cemented our plans further (as if we had any other choice!) and we decided to go for it!!
So, meet Basil, our Auto-Sleeper Symbol (2000 model) and join us as we visit the excellent 'New Forest Caravan & Motorhome Centenary Site'. The following weekend, we take Basil for a day trip to Mottisfont (a National Trust historical Priory, gardens and country estate near Romsey, Hampshire). These 2 nights away in the New Forest with our new Campervan were the perfect way to get started with our Campervan adventures.

Thanks for sharing. Look like you guys are loving the van. We bought Nelly, a Peugeot, Autosleeper Symbol (1996 model) at the end of last season and taking her on our first trip the second week of April. We have been caravans for years and we are very excited to be going on our first campervan holiday. :)

Hi..Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed our video…..Yes, we love Basil (our camper van) and we would definitely recommend that campsite too! Thanks again 🙂

Enjoyed your vlog. I am a regular visitor to the New Forest, often camping with my children (all teenagers but they love it) and frequently on my motorbike as I ride to Poole Quay in the summer for 'bike night' on a Tuesday evening (often 1000+ bikes meet up there, it's quite a spectacle)... When I camp I generally stay in a 'camping in the forest' site as there are few restrictions on where you can park and the New Forest ponies, cows, horses and dear wander freely amongst the tents and vans...

@theealesadventures Год назад

The ‘Camping in the Forest’ sites sound fantastic (will definitely try one of those someday). The Poole Quay biker meet up sounds very cool too! Glad you enjoyed the video…..We’ve got some good trips planned this year, so stay tuned! 🙂👍🏻

We have a ford autosleeper duetto 30yrs old called ‘angel’ love it 🤗 enjoy your travels

@theealesadventures Год назад

Oh wow….30 years old! Very cool. We certainly are enjoying our travels. It’s funny how we name our vans, isn’t it - Angel is a great name for a camper. Thanks for your comment and happy campervaning 👍🏻🙂

I have the same as you a 2003 Symbol called fudge and we love ours too

@theealesadventures Год назад

Fudge! What great name! Symbol’s are great, aren’t they….perfect lay out for the size of van 👍🏻🙂

@jeffstonr9792 Год назад

I want one.

@theealesadventures Год назад

Definitely worth it…..even for nice day trips at the weekend, as well as longer camping trips 🙂

@johnmitchell3257 Год назад

Hi there, lovely camper van. What size is the engine in yours and is it petrol or diesel? Regards, John.

@theealesadventures Год назад

Hi John….Thanks! We love our van. The engine is a 1.9 Petrol.

@hamiltonX 6 месяцев назад

What mpg do you get with your Talbot ? I suppose it's a 1.9 diesel engine , isn't it? Do you have electric steering wheel or is it the original one ? TIA !

@theealesadventures 6 месяцев назад

Hi….Sorry for the late reply. Our van is a Peugeot, Autosleeper Symbol (2000 model), so not a Talbot. It’s a 1.9 petrol engine (not a diesel). It’s the original steering wheel that came with it.

@mickarmstrong633 6 месяцев назад

I have same van can you tell where you got the Silver Black out covers From Thanks

@theealesadventures 6 месяцев назад

Hi….We got them from a website called Leisure Outlet.com (made by a company called Nova Tailored Interior Blinds). 🙂

@kevinanddobby Год назад

what size is your tv

@theealesadventures Год назад

Hi Kevin…It is 16” ..It’s the Avtex w163d and was already fitted in the van by previous owners when we bought it (you can find out more about it here www.avtex.co.uk/manuals/avtex_w163d_manual.pdf )

@kevinanddobby Год назад

@@theealesadventures cheers guys i have a harmony 1998 short wheel base cost me a few pounds to get him on the road new gears and welding underside plenty freedom now just go where we want

@theealesadventures Год назад

That’s awesome Kevin……Yes, we also had a bit of welding work done. Have fun in your Harmony. Having a campervan gives a great sense of freedom, doesn’t it 🙂

@justinabbottabbott7892 Год назад

Does your van have toilet and shower?

@theealesadventures Год назад

Hi…..Yes it does! The shower is a wet room shower though, rather than a separate shower room. We just use the showers on the campsites, although it’s good to know we have a shower on board should we need it.

@justinabbottabbott7892 Год назад

@The Eales Adventures thanks for your reply looking into getting a small camper but a shower is a must for me

@theealesadventures Год назад

No problem….It has a shower, but it’s in the same room as the toilet (wet room) with a shower curtain to protect the door. I know what you mean though, an actual separate shower would be ideal. I guess it depends on what things you’re willing to compromise on when it comes to small camper vans. We love how some of the newer vans have started having a separate shower room and a toilet occupying the same space by cleverly swinging a wall with the washroom sink round. Expensive though (for us, anyway).

@davidviner4932 Год назад

not sure about your food tbh

@theealesadventures Год назад

Thanks for the comment David. It’s a good job this isn’t a food channel isn’t it 🙂

@denisbradley1092 Год назад

For God sake say something

@theealesadventures Год назад

We’re shy! Seriously though, we are happy just documenting our holiday trips the way we are at the moment. But never say never…..We might try doing a proper “vlog” style video soon. If we do, you can take the credit 😉
