So, this is your next motor home. Where is the awning? Where’s is the grey water waste pipe? I know Jennie loves everything else.❤️👍😉
hi Bob,, Traveling back from somerset today and passed a brocken down one on the m4 motorway, transit cab, family on phone stood on hard shoulder
2735 miles in 19 days can you match it in 26 days😂
Hi bob you can change the camera to stay on whilst in drive in the settings just turn the stop start off or it will turn the camera off when you handbrake neutral it.Also the hartal door is central locking just give the contacts a wipe on the door
Also you can fit your avtex with a stick on disc on the holder
Hi Bob & Jen, how about The Adamo Alba Adventure? Also can the 240v power socket in the Garage be used when mobile/off grid should you need to? Cheers, Pete
Hi Bob certainly won't lose it on a camp site we have just arrived at garlieston very nice lady knows you well here. I am glad I watched your arriving video as I ignored the sat navigation directions.
Love the van, looking forward to this tour. Stay safe all of you ❤❤
Recently on holiday down to York, we passed an incredible number of Bailey Adamos. You and Jenny should be on commission; sales are really booming, thanks to you!! 😂
Hi Bob you can set the camera to work when driving forward
Cant wait to see how you get on with the 75-4T. Its one we're definitely interested in for our next van. Have a great time.
We have been at Southport this weekend and wondered who had this van, there was no one outside every time we walked by. You drove by us on our bikes going up marine drive today too and we saw it at the nature reserve. Shame it would have been nice to say hi and thank you for all advice over the years.
From the Sahara to Scotland…..Did the Auto make it more Enjoyable to Drive ?
Thank you both, I do like the van and look forward to the full round up on it. Have a lovely tour, take care.
How are you going to get on with the small payload have you had it weighed since you’ve loaded all your items?
Cheers Bob and Jenny. Really interesting.
We were looking over the Auto trail F like series today at Brownhills. Very taken with them but the Adamo looks just a bit of a step up in quality and design.
Looking forward to your Scottish trip 👍👍👍
Looking forward to your Scottisaraha tour. It will be interesting to see how this Adamo differs from the others. Take care Gill
With that rear overhang too much weight in the boot might cause steering to be overlight
Its toobad you cant tow your car
Good introduction. Could you measure the internal dimensions of the garage? I haven't found it listed anywhere on the Internet, and while I've made an estimate from the drawings, an accurate measurement with a tape measure would be appreciated. Have a good trip and I look forward to seeing your coverage of the locations that you visit.
Good video, nice motorhome,
Great layout but the sofas are too short for us. Our three dogs would make themselves comfortable on the sofas and we’d be sitting on the beds 🤣🤣
Something I notice on a lot of twin beds is that they don't have power sockets in the bedroom between the beds. We need this for my cpap. Also like to have my phone on charge. Hope you have a nice time in Scotland. Stayed over 15 times at the Brown's site at Invercoe during the winter … Scouts Mountaineering. Stopped going there when they changed their policy to not allow tents. Also prices went up. Lovely site right near the Pap. Have a great trip.
Hello Bob Jenny and Poppy, hope you enjoy driving this van. Your tour of Scotland sounds fab, we are going up north of the border in the autumn in our new Swift Voyager 540 with drop down bed that will be a learning curve! I know they are a marmite thing.
Really looking forward to see your vids of the tour. Re a name – what about Poppy’s Grand Wee Scotland Tour??
Fingers crossed for nice weather for your tour, you may have beaten the midgies. Love from Sue & Siobhan.
Excellent video, interested in your impressions after your tour, have a great holiday, all the best to you both, take care 🙂
Our hartal door on our 75 4i is on the central locking. Enjoy your your Scottish Sahara tour.😂
Bob would be interesting to see the weight on a weighbridge now you have some kit on board and how much the payload has been used for consideration for anyone thinking of purchasing one even yourself with Jenny and Poppy and plus only a 75 kg allowance for yourself as the driver then a towbar to add ?
Safari so good👍🏻
Great review as always Bob and Jenny.The payload of many Motor Homes is just impossible to maintain. Manufacturers should be made to point out that passengers are part of the payload. Many people don't realise that passengers must be factored in when calculating the payload, even 75kg allowance for the driver doesn't cover many people. Some manufacturers allow an amount of water and one 6kg bottle of gas, etc. I do not understand why there are not just unladen and laden weights, with the axle limits, this would make comparisons between makes/models much easier.
If you are close to the Adamo's payload ,your trip out with friends may take you over the limit.
It will be good to see the next few vlogs to see how what you think of the Bailey.
Well done for the excellent channel all the best for the future.
Great to see more vans on the Ford Transit chassis. Where the tyres General Grabber AT's ??? We are getting them fitted on our Consort, seem to get really good reviews and do look good.
Love all the stickers 🙂
Great to see you out reviewing another Bailey. There's always a surprise, even when you think it will be a similar van. This one has a camel riding with you 😂 Safe travels on your "Camping with a Camel" tour of Scotland. Trev n Sue
Hi Bob and Jenny, thanks for sharing your Bailey Adamo adventure. We have a new Adamo 69-4 and we discovered how to get the rear view camera on permanently whilst driving. When engine on, turn on the camera using the power on/off button on the screen and it should appear. However you have to turn off the stop/start button on the Ford engine to prevent it switching itself off when the engine is idle. Hope this is helpful and would be good to know if it works for you. We do also have central locking from the main key, perhaps you’ve not been given the full set of keys from Bailey? Enjoy the rest of your tour, looking forward to seeing how you get on as we might try it! Best wishes Mike and Sarah 😊👍
Great video , try this to get rearview working all time
Turn on the engine
Press the power on button on the VisionTrack unit
Press the down arrow until a screen shows 'Lock' Hold down the 'M' button until the screen unlocks
Scroll down to channel 3
The unit should now display in Park, Drive and Reverse when engine running
You should go to caolsnachon in kinlochleven just along from invercoe its a hidden gem
Hi Bob, jenny & poppy, I hope you have a lovely tour of Scotland in the bailey Adamo. A very nice van. Take care, lots of love. Linda xx ❤
Can’t hear the Bailey whistle on this one! Still waiting for replacement seal for my 2022 Adamo 69-4, reported to my dealer at the beginning of January. Another great review, thank you Bob, Jenny and Poppy.
Hi Bob and Jenny and Poppy, wow that is some motorhome, enjoyed the tour around the outside and the look at the inside. we like the cupboards, the wood is very nice too. The layout with the single beds looks very comfy. Will be looking forward to following your Scotland tour, CAMELONG with us on our Scotland Tour x Julie and Tony x
Our neck of the woods Bob (we're near Doune on A84). Really interested to see how you get on at Blair Atholl, lovely bit of Perthshire and lots of sites in that area but all private. No issue with that in general but tend to have a limit of 2 dogs and we have 4! Hope you enjoy!
I recognise that sahara car park 🙂
Went with the commentator
From MMW site Peter Vaughan
Sorry the MMM commentator
Wow an epic tour
The north and high lands tour
Thanks
Have you guys always had motorhomes and no caravans ?
Sounds a good trip, say hi to Bob & Aileen from me & the Scottie’s!
