REAL Motorhome DISASTER in Malaga Spain
I can see you are alright this side a bit of a narrow road okay is nearly there that's fine that's fine that's fine round here I think it's fine he said about grounding out didn't he yeah you had to reverse and he ripped it off I don't know if it's this road he is on about well this wouldn't bring me up here if it couldn't so I'm quite confident that it can I'm happy once you pass that little bit you're fine happy so far yeah look it's open now and then you just up here and it'll be up here somewhere I'll take it all in my stride maybe he came from a different direction yeah I mean that didn't seem a problem to me no ground out there it's not up there it's up here is it is it not up that bit there yeah it must be it's not up there daring it's straight up around watch yourself on this bit this is what he is probably that's what he was on about yeah [ __ ] sorry yeah I've lost something this is what the guy was on about saying you're grounding out right let me just go and have a look what that was somebody did say about going a different way but our sat nav brought us this way Jesus you're exhaust ah right it's the water pipe is it I thought it was your exhaust I've lost the pipe that's fine I'll show you what it is it's this bit here so we've come in through there and have hit it there not good that's alright we will sort it when we get in there got in our pitch they're not too bad sizes to be honest they've been very good and they've said that um they'll cut that bit of tree down so when Lee's finish working on the damage we can uh pull over a little bit so I'll have more space the other side so that's what's happening so far now I did speak to them uh the gentleman that's let us in he speaks really good English and is um absolutely um he's absolutely really friendly and he's just said that they do put it on their website they do try the hardest to let people know not to come in that direction now we've got a truck set nav uh we thought we'd be safe but it doesn't take into consideration the small bump in the road and that's all it was as you've seen so there is another entrance which we'll show you later on on here that you come through where he said you can get three or four motorhomes through so uh Lee is on the beer yeah I've got the uh they say you ain't a true uh on-tiki swift owner or a swift owner until you've knocked the fresh water tank off so cheers you're pretty calm about it love nothing you can do is not a lot I can do really um and I got plenty of ct1 so I think it's going to be a bit of that I know what you haven't got plenty of what water obviously this pipe which runs from the Fresh tank to the um Outlet obviously the outlets are always quite low and it's quite you know over the apex of the vehicle so as you take the hill that's always a danger point but it's just pulled the screws out luckily the tank and everything's in place they have made them in a different place in the new models now haven't they they pushed them I think they have yeah I'm not sure where it sits in the length of the vehicle but um yeah it's just something to bear in mind if you got the I suppose the 22 23 model around that time cuz I know some 23 models are the newer type or the older type um but hey as many with these type of motor rooms that have done this so always have a little bit of tools in your tool box um and I think I'm going to be needing this cuz it's pulled the screws out I'll just fix that bracket on with this and it ain't going to go nowhere so is your actual tank damaged or anything like that no not really got the pipe first so we're side on under the motorhome now so as you can see I think I've got it on camera there it's just pulled that pipe off which was sitting a bit lower um and underneath there it's just scraped it so the whole tank everything's on okay it's all fine I've just got to reattach that and reattach the pipe I've unplugged the um connector there um there you go so that's all in one piece um and I have had to have it stuck on before so them screws are rigid uh so I'm just going to ct1 that back on I will see if the screws move um and literally get it placed back on and then reconnect it um to the pipe as so so it should be quite a simple fix really and we're here for a couple of days so the CT1 will dry off properly uh I will put some water in the tank in a bit and then um we can see if it holds but the tank thanks fine just got a scrape [Music] There you go it's back on once again ct1 to the rescue um I'll take you under and just show you so I think you can see there so I've ct1 that back on connected that back up and the I will put a bit more around it so I'm just waiting for that to set and you can see here the pipe is attached again so all in all I think that was um well another experience and I'm just going to tidy that up put a bit more ct1 around it and then um let it set for a bit and then fill it with water it's now the come down from the disaster um I've ct1 it back on the screw holes anyway were no good it's already been ct1 back on by uh a swift associate company um so I've just done the same thing now the pipes on the lagging is on uh and all that's good so it is obviously going to have to cure um about 24 hours we're here for a couple of nights now so that's a good thing um so when I hit that bump as I started to go up I sort of knew as the van was tipping that that it was going to you know grind out so I two options I'm reversing all the way back down that little skinny Road there was a little turning point that I probably could have accessed further back or go forward um so it was just a case go forward and deal with whatever after I sort of had a feeling it would be the freshwater um Outlet now I ain't filled up the tank yet I tried the system but I can't see there be any leaks the ball that shuts off the valve is closed uh I will try that out um it didn't rip it out of any wiring or anything like that it was just hanging off the wire uh and now I sort of packed up so we got on our pitch now um and I just want to point out it's not the site's fault you know this is one an issue with where the uh the waste pipe sits uh how low down to the ground it is on the van um and two I suppose uh the way in now they have put on their website the way in we still got confused we still used Garmin uh the Avtex 2 sat nav uh where it's got all my Dimensions but I suppose it don't really understand the ground there's no restrictions on that road so yes it was tight and you see it was tight but at the end of the day once you're in it you're in it you got to deal with it uh and when we leave we'll show you the way out which apparently you can get three motorhomes side by side so it's just the way it is but my advice with all this would be preparation make sure you got things with you things like ct1 the gun um screwdrivers some spanners you know even if it's just one adjustable spanner um certain oils all that sort of stuff cuz otherwise you're fine your trip could end up short or you got to find someone that's got all the gear so you know the way I look at it is just to have some Essentials and all my essentials are in these two boxes so it's not like I'm carrying loads of gear but it's just the basic stuff to get stuff done tapes and stuff like but so yeah so I think that problem is averted we will see when we fill up with water and now we can enjoy this nice area near the beach um and see what's going to go from here after all that drama Jodie has come up trumps with this lovely lovely Feast for tonight just a bit of pork some potato things and some veg and gravy she's feeding me greens after that but we're going to tuck in now um so yeah so this is us for the evening uh we're going to chill and then we'll pick you guys up in the morning good morning so it's a next day after our motorhome disaster yes next day so we're all happy now how's it going with that is it I think it's sorted I will have a little look in a minute but I think it's all sorted now so yeah Lee's quite happy with What's happening at the moment with the um fresh water outlet um but we'll let you know when we move off if everything's okay um today we're going to head into Malaga we're going to go meet some people that have um suggested we meet them for coffee so we're going to Mana to meet them this lovely couple and um we'll take you with us the best we can and show you some things and see what the Day brings all right yes I'm ready to go now so I'm going to take the rubbish outside cuz it's always out on the street and as we're going that way let's take the rubbish and then we get the bus yeah oh yeah we've got to find the bus haven't we yeah so it's about 500 M downhill what the bus I could walk that. There is a way downhill and hopefully the bus will be there waiting for us probably won't but you know so that's where we sort of pitched up and claimed our space if you like yeah then this is a site it's a lovely site just um just don't come the way we did so that's the way into the campsite just there and this is where the bins are and this is the road that they've said to come in which is definitely bigger than the way that we come in God look at the weather today we've actually got proper proper sun look at that if we had reversed we to reverse all the way down here which actually looking at in there now ain't such a bad thing cuz you could have come in here and turned around if need be yeah yeah so if we do get stuck there is a little bit of space to turn around anyway there is a big space down here so anyway I just want to see how peaceful it is around here I know we've got like um a cockell or some kind of bird making noise in the background but look how peaceful this place is this is what I love the Stillness the Sun the Stillness the just the look at it it's just beautiful absolutely beautiful I absolutely love this I think I was meant to be Spanish we are loving life now the sun's back out we are Sunshine people out we are Sunshine people are loving the sun today we are happy to be where we are right now and feeling very lucky and grateful and appreciate it all yeah so right and the end of the day don't worry about the thing cuz everything is going to be all right and this is a message to you imagine a place where you have to put your car in shade lovely we've got off the bus um I think we're in Malaga according to Google Maps so in the right port area aren't we yeah and we're meeting at a lounge bar so we're going to go and find that um Google Maps tells me we are walking in the right direction at the moment good but look at this place it's pretty lovely is it lovely yeah very busy and there's some nice boats in that port isn't they which will show you when we get a bit closer it is it's lovely with all the boats and that but my question is is why do cars get a minute and a half we only get half a minute cross the road cuz it's a road and it's for cars they get priority I wonder if that boat's going to Morocco look at them that's my kind of boat that is right let's keep moving we've got somewhere to be [Music] Well we had a lovely time meeting two lovely people Nigel and Ann and it was amazing and thank you for the drinks uh they live locally and they bought a bar here in 2002 yeah so give up everything at home come here live here worked here business here and uh now they're looking at getting a motorhome and yeah I blame it on Nigel you got me a little bit tipsy you want me two beers thank you very much but we we do appreciate it definitely but we're just checking out the harbor now aren't we in Malaga yeah there is some nice boats oh there is some nice boats but Nigel you did say something about the WhatsApp CEO cuz he was checking them out the boats yeah so one of the boats here belongs to them we don't know what one maybe we should Google it and check it out so we're going to trade in the motorhome now right this minute and uh we're going for that there would that be the same sort of price obviously I'm Joking love you know I don't think I'll get it in the roads that we want to go down yeah they're huge aren't they they are nice though absolutely beautiful moonrise private yacht that is the um Moonrise and I like it I want to go up there to the top can I go to the top you wouldn't go to the top no I wouldn't but I don't mean you won't go to well I mean the heights yeah but if I got offered then I know I'm in a place of bit of money wealth a bit of money there so maybe I would look at that it's amazing I mean like just living on that on the water like that yeah that's pretty amazing really well let's go back that way and let's um should we go through the townway yeah I think there's some stairs going up so we'll try that and then um go and find this castle palace yeah there's a castle on a hill that we're going to go and see um take you up there lovely array of shops that's where we were a minute ago just done the eating we have been recommended to go right up there to the top unfortunately um we have not got the time today um the castle on the hill we will come back to Malaga area at some point but today we just too much really so we probably won't get up there and it's getting on a bit now so we're looking at well it's it's quarter past 5 in the afternoon yeah so we had a lovely time um like we said we come out to meet some friends we had a lovely time and um I think Malaga is for another day we're here for another next night anyway so we are yes we can either come back tomorrow or we're going to show you the local area we'll work that out yeah well I need to let the CT1 set it's set now you know it does set pretty quick but yeah we decided stay for another day Malaga's a massive place and we wanted to meet a couple of people along the way so we thought why not stay another day and I'm just walking as if I know where I'm going I think I do never been here before in my life that bus ride 40 minutes Lee was thinking we're going the wrong way yeah well it weren’t that I was like that was a long old bus ride actually so it's the longest bus ride we I was following Google Maps see where we were so I knew we were heading the right direction yeah anyway that's the port area of Malaga with all the posh yacht's nice bars and restaurants definitely worth a visit and we will be back won't we we will be and you know what the joys of motorhomeing is at our Leisure here now I'm looking up in the sky and I'm seeing a plane coming in there're the people coming on holiday seeing a plane going out but you know what don't matter for us cuz we're just keep mosing on by the coast because our motorhome won’t get up there anywhere true it's like netted around it or meshed around it's quite loose I think it's part of the tree well I wouldn't touch it in case you break it and they charge you you don't know how to so we just come across this statue here let's find out what that's about all I know is it's from does that say 1983 well that's the one we want is it the 163 63 yes takes us back to Rincon de la Victoria and this is 160 I don't know if it's like I think goes far yeah this is our stop we just got to find our way back don't we huh we got to find our way back now yeah yeah that's us that's done for today um I was going to head up back to the van sorry we didn't show you loads of Malaga but we didn't come here um to review Malaga as such we came here to be in a destination near Malaga on route yes um we will come back to Malaga and and visit that another time um but not this trip uh so we could only show you really the port area where we were going to meet people um we will look into it more next time but what we are going to do in this Vlog is take you around the area where we are where we're staying which is Rincon de la Victoria I believe yeah so we're going to something like that anyway we're going for a nice day around the local area tomorrow um and we'll take you with us so we're going to go back to Van chill out we catch in a bit that's the bus stop good morning good morning everyone welcome to this lovely fine day it's blue skies today and where are we going to the beach we're going to try and find it anyway yeah we're going to head down to the beach that's local here take it with us and um see if it's warm enough and the beach is suitable enough to sit on we' brought towels of us and that little shop behind us and Reception Area yeah um it's bits and Bobs that you need the essentials hasn't it it has yeah so we're get some washing done later that's we need we've just booked in and reserved um where are we going through here aren't we um we just booked and reserved for 5:00 so we'll be back up for that won't we yeah get the washing in and that's that done for the next few days anyway it is a lovely day today it's about 22° at the moment yeah yeah it's lovely out here there's a tiny Breeze in the air which is quite nice really um but it's beautiful weather yeah and we're heading to um a spot we've been to before tomorrow um where we know there's a beach it's going to be warm as well and see if we can top up our tans a bit yeah over the next few days have a couple of proper Beach days there won't we yeah definitely it's nice it's nice to get some beach days in now and again definitely just chill out looks quite nice actually obviously it's that volcanic kind of dark Sand that you get yeah that you can see then you've got all this promenade bit and there like a restaurant just behind us there's a restaurant um and I think there's some more down here bars and restaurants so we're going to head this way and see what we can find before we get on the beach look how clear that water is it's lovely hope that person is not dead on that paddle board some kind of jet skis as well yeah yeah looks like where they put the boats out in here doesn't it I going to get one in I check one out a everyone's coming in the tractor moving it as you can see it looks like they got them down there quite a bit going have a little wand up there cuz it looks like there might be a bit more coast line up there it's beautiful what are you thinking um nothing really I'm just admiring The View that's cuz there's some women down there with bikinis on not the sea we found a nice little bar by the look of it just on that mound there yeah let's go don't oh look looks like me and you looks like Beano characters that's what I meant me and you yes I might go see it's like in that bar at some point more quiet over this side isn't it yeah he was just saying some of these properties have got a lovely view on the sea front there Haven’t they great view looking out into the ocean we've chosen to come back to closer to where we were and there's another bar up here so we're going to probably have a quick drink in the bar and then go down onto the beach a bit we got some music on so have to be quick we found this lovely little Beachside bar but it's really busy it's a Saturday and most tables are reserved so we've got about 20 minutes or something like that and then we that's right all we need yeah look at The View I really don't understand why it gets busy on a weekend really there's nothing ready to look at is there God nice place what a lovely day it is today what a lovely day it's been um yeah we spent a good hour or so down at the beach um went to the bar before hand so it was lovely so it has been a all in all a successful stop yeah liked it here this place is you have to book it really it's got about 18 pictures and if you don't book you you run the risk of not getting in at all um and make sure you do come in but we we will put um a picture somewhere yeah I try and put a Google maps sort of picture in with the way in in uh this uh just to let you know if not in the description yeah yeah so just to let you know the right way to come in here so you don't do what we did smaller Vans not such a problem if the if you've got lower skirting in or lower tanks and don't come in this way at all if you find that you've come in this way find somewhere to turn around before you get anywhere near it and go back out and go back in the right yeah yeah unless unless you've obviously got a lot of clearance under your motorhome but yeah other than that everything seems to be working now the uh valve uh Outlet valves back attached um and let's see when we drive away tomorrow that it stays attached when we get to the other end i'm sure it is we haven’t got any leaks or anything we put water in we've got no leaks yeah no leaks or nothing like that so it's all good so I think we're ending this one here and um well we're going to catch them on the next one aren't we yeah we're going back to urbanova um which is one of the three park up's we did last year when we came out right on a beach um we want to cuz we've had a few windy days rainy days we want to get a bit of sun and a bit of beach days don't we we do yes so we're going to go hopefully get a spot in there and have a couple of beach days yes Beach days from tomorrow and then we're going to from there we're going to head to Benidorm Benidorm yes before traveling home again so looking forward to to Benidorm as well yes is your arm aching my arm is aching I'm trying to end it and yeah waffle on right we'll leave it here then with her waffle we're going to leave it here I'd like to say thank you to each and every one of um you subscribers and everyone that supports us and we will catch you on
