We undertake a major upgrade to the motorhome finally taking the plunge ahead of up-plating the vehicle. We currently have a maximum weight allowance of 3850 kg and following advice from SVTech we have replaced the front spings to comfort springs and added air suspension at the rear. We used a company called Motorhome Supplies Ltd based in Wakefield.
Before the upgrade we stopped of at Stanford Hall caravan park near Lutterworth where we met with friends and whilst the work was being undertaken we borrowed a car from Motorhome Supplies Ltd which enabled us to explore the city of Wakefield and a nearby country park; Anglers Countrypark.
This is episode 132 in a series of videos cataloguing our post retirement adventures. We are Kath and Sue and we are travelling the UK with our two dogs Archie and Fudge and living full time in our Burstner Elegance Motorhome. We have given up conventional living for a new van-life, enjoying the freedom of the road and plenty of time outdoors taking in the beautiful countryside the UK has to offer.

Your query on the bridge studs .that is a bridge tie. The plate you can see is attached to the end of a metal rod passing through the structure(usually with a similar bridge tie at the far side of the structure. These are normally only installed after construction and intended to correct/stop any subsequently observed bulging/movement of a brick structure.

Hi Kath and Sue. I did send a message earlier this year, saying we were going to rent a motorhome and hope we could meet up with you. Within three months, everything has changed. My lovely Di passed away 25th June with pancreatic cancer. I'm in bits ... my heart is broken 💔. Embrace each day and each other. 🎉

Two votes for a roll although sometimes a white ‘roll’ like that would be called a bap (not of it was seeded/brown bread etc!) and one vote for a cob or a bread cake from our Yorkshire friend!!!! What a lot of work you’ve had done on the van and just after all that work on the house!! I think you need a holiday now?! I don’t know what up plating up means but hope you have a comfier ride now. We squirmed hitting pot holes on Skye (numerous)! ❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️ to Archie managing in the heat and loving seeing both him & Fudge❤️ in the water together …..did she pinch his stick though???!!!!! So unfair hey Archie?😳🤬 Hope you’re enjoying the van even more now!Xxxx👍🚐☀️😎🐶🐶

😂😂😂so many names for a small round bit of bread. Yes she did pinch his stick!!! She always lets him do the hard work and then paddles in for the steal. I don’t think he really minds though. It’s a bit of a game. Sounds like you got back safely after a great trip. Here’s to more travels. 🙏🚌❤️

Barm, around Merseyside and Lancashire. Forgot once and asked for a young lad while in a cafe in Essex for a Sausage Barm and he hadn't a clue what I wanted. I said I mean a roll and he then tried to plate up one of the flaky pastry variety.. All very confusing!

@MotorhomeMums
@MotorhomeMums 20 дней назад
Because we live in the van and carry our worldly possessions we are always conscious of weight. Up plating will enable us to carry a bit more weight so we are not so worried about how close we are to the maximum limit we had before the suspension upgrade. 🤗🙏🚌❤️
