My wife and I spend six nights in Scotland. Starting in the highlands at Fort William then move to North Ledaig, Oban, Isle of Mull and finally head south to Loch Lomand.
@@BMC-hl2uh thank you. My content is all about out the history, landscapes and the caravan. Great to hear the feedback as it reassures me that I’m creating the right content🙏😊
Thanks so much for sharing your adventures. We watching them all. It's your fault we now looking for a basecamp of our own 😂and have a long list of places to visit. Thanks again kate and jon ps love your dog too makes us laugh stealing your sleeping bag every night 😂
Great views. Love your dog. We miss our blue roan cocker, gone five years now. He was the reason we started camping, and he loved it. I am impressed with your Basecamp.👍
Tremendous! 👌 I know it'll be impossible to calculate but I wonder how many video views eventually convert to Basecamp sales? You are truly brand ambassadors.
Watching your adventures has made us very interested in the base camp, we have a motorhome which we love but sometimes it’s difficult to explore where a car would come in handy. We love Scotland, tour every year so was good to see the places you went to where we also have been and hope you get to do more in the coming years, Scotland is addictive 🤣 thanks for sharing your adventures
We have experience with both Camper vans and motorhomes so that is exactly why we bought a Base Camp. Motorhomes are far more easy than a caravan but you can be stuck on the campsite particularly in rural areas. The benefit then of course if you have your car. The compromise though is a caravan is a lot more work to set up and pack away. The Base Camp is a very comfortable and practical space and was affordable for us.
Amazing, the footage you film is fantastic really feel as if we are there, beautiful commentary absolutely love the adventures you go on, thank you for bringing us along, keep up the great work❤️
lol! No problem I feel the same about Welsh being mispronounced😀. I’m back to Scotland later this year so I will definitely work on the correct pronunciation. Thanks for feeding back👍🏻
Thanks for Sharing your most awesome, beautiful, informative videos😻🎬 you've covered the equipment, the adventure in Gorgeous Country sides + historical sites I'm in the USA Northern most parts of California my backyard is the massive Redwoods and the Gorgeous Pacific Ocean. We're campers to.
Happened across your channel mate as I had searched for Swift Base Camp after spotting one in my village whilst out walking the dog and thought they looked like smart wee caravans 😉 Really enjoying your videos, glad you enjoyed your trip to my neck of the woods 😀🏴
@@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales dont miss out The Borders from your plans (many just drive through it to get north - i used to do the same in reverse going south). Really lovely rolling countryside and some fantastic wee towns: Kelso, Hawick, Jedburgh, Melrose, Peebles etc 😉🏴
Enjoyed that.I stopped at the glen nevis campsite last year.love the dog,pmsl she’s never on her ruffware sleeping bag.some cracking memories made on this trip👍
I know I looked at the price of them, I bought pip a ruffware harness for his trip to Scotland,I won’t be buy him a sleeping bag though,cheers 👍🐶@@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales
Great video. I bought a basecamp a week ago and I have found build quality appalling. Back door cant be locked from inside without someone pushing hard on outside. "Laminate" edges peeling off. Thin flimsy tape. Door is hung out of square and shut lines taper from 4mm to nothing. Bed wont retract. Shoddy.
There are complaints on quality albeit not isolated to Basecamps. There might be a couple of issues you have which could be user related. The closing of the habitation door is standard. It does need a solid rather hard pull from the inside. The bed retracting is an interesting one. Should be an easy fix on the warranty but it can get stuck if the bed isn’t properly aligned when pushing it back. That said, have you joined the Basecamp owners group on Facebook? This is very active group and there could be some solutions found there:- facebook.com/groups/swiftbasecampowners/?ref=share
Amazed at all the kit - bbq , pizza oven how do you fit it all in - we pick up BC2 end of month ( 2 berth conqueror at present) and worried we’ll never get all our stuff in
You will very quickly find out the Base Camp is a tardis! We only pack what we need. On our first trips out we where over packing on everything but now have it down to a fine art that works for us. Welcome to the Base Camp club… it’s great fun.
Fort William...Thats about the closest space pitching i have ever seen for caravans on a site. I wonder if it really meets fire regulation spacing. Talk about trying to get as much cash per grassed area LOL. I just would not like others staring in your caravan windows like that.
Your videos are excellent and have been very helpful as we consider buying a Basecamp 2 - thank you. Would you say the Basecamp 2 is relatively easy to move around without a motor mover?
A motor mover is absolutely essential. If the ground is at a slight incline or the grass is long or soggy or your on deep gravel you can not move the caravan by hand for life or money. I wouldn’t leave home with out our mover.
Interested to know how much difference towing makes to your MPG? Looking for a Basecamp2 too which we can tour across Europe and take skiing in winter! However having some issues finding a tower to fit to a Peugeot 308 GT 2l diesel.. Bumper issues.. Any clues / suggestions welcome!
No probs. My car does an average of 48.5mpg. If I tow at no faster than an average of 55mph I tend to get around 36mpg sometimes higher sometimes lower all depending on the roads and weather conditions. For your tow ball, best ask the professionals at your local trailer centre. I’ve got the Westfalia detachable with 13 pin electrics. Was £700 fitted.
My favourite is the Vango RVA2. It’s a bespoke awning especially made for the Basecamp and look stunning on the back. However it’s not ideal for all situations.
@@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales you really do put the effort in on your travels. This kind of energy is contagious to your viewers. Brilliant video this, loved it!
