Molly-Mae Hague complains about £86k motorhome holiday that left her 'having a breakdown' - after her sister Zoe's Bali trip fiasco
Molly-Mae Hague has shared her candid complaints about a recent £86,000 motorhome holiday her family went on - after Tommy Fury said their daughter Bambi shouldn't be spoilt with five star trips. The influencer and businesswoman, 26, recently went on a family trip with Tommy and their two-year-old the Isle of Man. But in her latest YouTube vlog Molly-Mae opened up about some of the more difficult parts of the holiday including navigating travel delays with a toddler. It comes after Molly-Mae's sister Zoe was recently mocked by fans for leaving Bali after just 48 hours because it didn't live up to her expectations. Molly-Mae's trip comes after last month Tommy, also 26, insisted that Bambi shouldn't be 'spoilt' with 'five star hotels and business class flights' when they go away on family holidays - and so decided to buy a motorhome for more wholesome trips. The boxer ended up purchasing a swanky Elddis Avalon 255 which retails at £86,995. But Molly-Mae documented the trip in her video as she explained: 'Tommy has bought a motorhome and we spent our first weekend in the motorhome this weekend. 'Obviously, being us, we went in feet first and decided to go to the Isle of Man. 'Tommy's family were spending the weekend in the Isle of Man. I was feeling spontaneous so we literally booked the ferry to the Isle of Man an hour before we needed to leave. 'We'd never used the motorhome before, we needed to pack it up, sort Bambi, I just had this wave of 'you only live once, have a bit of fun'. 'Bambi doesn't need to be so perfectly routine every day, she's not a newborn anymore. 'I've got so stuck in my ways with the fact that her routine is her routine and I don't really steer away from it. 'I'm not gonna feel bad for that because that is what works for me and that is what works for Bambi and Tommy, so that's fine.' She then added of when things started to go wrong: 'So anyway, booked the ferry, packed the motorhome up and nearly didn't make the ferry but that's another story and then there was a two hour delay. 'This ferry, which was already gonna get us in at 11:30pm, which was already severely triggering me because Bambi goes to bed at 7pm, was not fine. It was giving me a prime example as to why the routine works for us. 'It was one of those moments where strangers come up to you and are like 'can I help? Is there anything I can do?' 'She was screaming that much for four hours straight. 'The boat basically had a malfunction and it wouldn't move for like two hours so we had a huge delay. 'She was so, so, so overtired and overstimulated - Bambi is so routine, she is the opposite of flexible.' And when they arrived things continued to go downhill, as she said: 'We managed to get to the Isle of Man at 1:30am in the morning. 'We didn't know where we were, what we were doing, we were going to a different campsite to Tommy's family. It was just a lot. 'We had to make our bed out of this sofa, I was like 'I'm really out of my depth, I'm struggling'. 'The next day, Bambi was so tired, she was just screaming, literally screaming, so, so unhappy. 'Me and Tommy were looking at each other like 'what were we thinking?. I was having a breakdown.' She went on in the vlog: 'Bear in mind this motorhome of Tommy's is his pride and joy, he's obsessed with it…I kid you not, the next day he was like 'I'm selling it, the minute we get home I'm putting it up for sale, I hate this motorhome.' 'It wasn't even the motorhome's fault. For our first time, stupid move.' They even considered getting an early ferry home but once they met up with Tyson Fury and his wife Paris, things improved. She said: 'We were actually going to get on a ferry that day to come home because we were so out of our depth, we couldn't do it. 'But then, when we met up with them, we were like 'no, we're gonna stick it out, we can do this.' Last month Tommy reflected on some of their lavish trips away saying he recently bought the campervan so they can have more 'normal' holidays. Speaking to Eddie Hall on his podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Beast, Tommy said: 'Having a daughter, Bambi, is everything in my life. She's what I work for. She's what I fight for. 'I don't even buy anything for myself anymore. It's all going away. Today's world is tough because you don't wanna spoil your children, but then it's hard to not, in a way. 'I've just bought – and it's coming in two weeks – a massive RV type thing. I just said to myself, 'She can't take business class flights every time, that ain't the real world.' 'I didn't go on a plane until I was 17! It was a Flybe flight and the propeller nearly broke. But Bambi's got more air miles than me now, and she's two and a half.' He added: 'I want her to know the meaning of normal, which is, you know, a nice camping holiday, driving to the lake. 'Not staying in five star hotels, not going business class flights, not doing that sometimes - and that's okay. 'Yeah, so I think she's getting to an age now where she's understanding more, and that as a father I introduce them sort of holidays, it's very important.' Molly-Mae's latest vlog also comes after her sister Zoe came under fire for complaining about a recent trip too. Molly-Mae's influencer sister was recently mocked by fans for leaving Bali after just 48 hours because it didn't live up to her expectations. Instead she and her husband Danny made a last minute decision to fly to Dubai instead after Zoe, 28, took to social media to admit 'something wasn't quite right'. The fitness influencer had planned the trip to Indonesia with her husband Danny to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. And despite staying in a huge sea view room at the Radisson Blu, a five-star hotel, they decided to leave early and jet to Dubai instead. Zoe explained that Bali looks better on social media than in real life, as influencers make it look luxurious, despite it being a developing country. In a YouTube video, Zoe told the camera: 'Since landing in Bali, something for us wasn't quite right. The fitness influencer had planned the trip to Indonesia with her husband Danny to celebrate their first wedding anniversary 'We came here with high expectations because we had seen on social media that everyone was having such a lovely time. Lovely places to eat and beaches, and lovely gyms and coffee shops. 'But I don't think the reality of Bali is shown much at all, and I do think it is down to a lot of influencers posting the more luxury side of things.' She added: 'Before joining the army, I spent five months travelling South East Asia. I did Thailand, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, I did a lot and spent time in these countries. But there is something very different about Bali. 'We got told Uluwatu where we are now is one of the best places to go, so if this is one of the better places, I'm not sure where the other places are like. 'I wasn't going to sit down and say anything, but people want to know.' Danny then joined the video and said: 'You either go on holiday to travel and experience culture or you want to go away and relax.' Zoe continued: 'Yeah, and we could have got a flight tomorrow as today is our anniversary, but time is precious and we just want to get out, and why delay it. 'We missed the mark, maybe we didn't do our own research, maybe it is our own fault. I did a lot of research though. 'I think it is just personal preference, and our preference was that this isn't for us, and we are making the executive decision to go enjoy our anniversary somewhere we know that we love and can relax and can drink the water.' Fans were divided in the comment section, with many claiming they loved Bali and asking for specific reasons why she didn't like it. 'I find this really surprising seeing as you travelled this part of the world. Everywhere there is like this - the 5* resorts are social media worthy but ultimately it's a developing area of the world and lots of the people there live in poverty.'; 'That is such a shame you didn't have a good experience:( Bali is a truly magical place with incredible people! But it is a poor country and I think people forget that and expect it to be like Dubai when that isn't the reality. Hope you have a good time in Dubai.'; 'I'm interested to know what exactly you didn't like about it? You didn't really go into specifics? I travelled there last year and loved it!'; Others agreed with Zoe, adding: I'm just home from backpacking Australia, Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and I can hands down agree with the insta vs reality with Bali!! We tried to enjoy it as much as we could but it is 100% portrayed sooo differently by influencers,' And despite staying in a huge sea view room at the Radisson Blu, a five-star hotel, they decided to leave early and jet to Dubai instead 'Why is everyone hating? Bali isn't for everyone, they arrived and didn't like it? Why would they waste time & money somewhere they're not enjoying?' In 2019, Zoe's sister Molly-Mae shared with fans that she 'fell in love with Bali' as she shared a series of stunning snaps to Instagram. Zoe later shared a photo dump on Instagram, showcasing her lavish Dubai trip after leaving Bali. The couple stayed at Atlantis The Royal, with rooms starting from around £290 per night during July, which is considered low season. In peak season, rooms can cost £1,570 a night. Zoe shared on Instagram: 'Danny surprised me with a stat at @atlantistheroyal which I couldn't believe!!!

Molly-Mae Hague slammed for ‘always complaining' as she reveals ‘struggles' on £86k motorhome holiday with Tommy Fury
MOLLY-MAE Hague has been slammed for 'always complaining' as she opened up on 'struggles' on her recent motorhome holiday. Just days ago, the mum-of-one, 26, went on a romantic getaway with Tommy, also 26, to the Isle of Man. 9 9 9 9 The former Love Island stars looked every inch the happy family as they toured the quaint location, but now, in her most recent vlog which was uploaded to YouTube just 16 hours ago, the Maebe founder has set the record straight on the nightmare start to their trip. Earlier this month, Tommy revealed he was banning Bambi from "five star hotels and business class flights' and instead, bought a motorhome. And Tommy's Elddis Avalon 255 didn't come cheap, and whilst they normally retail at £93,490, they are now being sold online for an eye-watering £86,995. Despite having the privilege of being able to enjoy a holiday in the luxury vehicle, things didn't get off to the smoothest of starts, as Molly-Mae, who previously admitted she is 'selfish' and is 'not cut out' to deal with the stresses of parenting, explained: 'Tommy has bought a motorhome and we spent our first weekend in the motorhome this weekend. 'Obviously, being us, we went in feet first and decided to go to the Isle of Man. 'Tommy's family were spending the weekend in the Isle of Man. I was feeling spontaneous so we literally booked the ferry to the Isle of Man an hour before we needed to leave. 'We'd never used the motorhome before, we needed to pack it up, sort Bambi, I just had this wave of 'you only live once, have a bit of fun'. ' Bambi doesn't need to be so perfectly routine every day, she's not a newborn anymore. 'I've got so stuck in my ways with the fact that her routine is her routine and I don't really steer away from it. 'I'm not gonna feel bad for that because that is what works for me and that is what works for Bambi and Tommy, so that's fine.' 'We had a huge delay' But steering clear of the two-year-old's routine proved to be a real challenge, as the Love Island star turned businesswoman added: 'So anyway, booked the ferry, packed the motorhome up and nearly didn't make the ferry but that's another story and then there was a two hour delay. 'This ferry, which was already gonna get us in at 11:30pm, which was already severely triggering me because Bambi goes to bed at 7pm.' And things quickly went downhill, as the Filter founder, who lives in a huge £3.5million mansion, admitted: 'Was not fine. It was giving me a prime example as to why the routine works for us. 9 9 'It was one of those moments where strangers come up to you and are like 'can I help? Is there anything I can do?' 'She was screaming that much for four hours straight. 'The boat basically had a malfunction and it wouldn't move for like two hours so we had a huge delay. 'She was so, so, so overtired and overstimulated - Bambi is so routine, she is the opposite of flexible.' 'It was a lot' And once the family had arrived at the Isle of Man, things continued in a slightly sour way, as the blonde beauty confessed: 'We managed to get to the Isle of Man at 1:30am in the morning. 'We didn't know where we were, what we were doing, we were going to a different campsite to Tommy's family. It was just a lot. 'We had to make our bed out of this sofa, I was like 'I'm really out of my depth, I'm struggling'. 'The next day, Bambi was so tired, she was just screaming, literally screaming, so, so unhappy. 'Me and Tommy were looking at each other like 'what were we thinking?'' 9 9 The content creator who boasts 1.9million subscribers on YouTube and has a jaw-dropping £6million fortune, then acknowledged: 'I was having a breakdown.' Not only this, but she also recognised: 'Bear in mind this motorhome of Tommy's is his pride and joy, he's obsessed with it…I kid you not, the next day he was like 'I'm selling it, the minute we get home I'm putting it up for sale, I hate this motorhome.' 'It wasn't even the motorhome's fault. For our first time, stupid move.' However, the mum-of-one, who recently opened up on 'destroying' her face during her filler phase, explained that once she and Tommy met up with Tyson Fury, his wife Paris and their seven children, things soon improved. She recalled: 'We were actually going to get on a ferry that day to come home because we were so out of our depth, we couldn't do it. 'But then, when we met up with them, we were like 'no, we're gonna stick it out, we can do this.'' Social media users react Molly-Mae's motorhome debacle has since been re-shared on numerous social media platforms, but has been met with a very harsh response from viewers. One person said: 'Why is she always complaining about something? If it's not her, it's her sister. How insufferable must it be living with them.' Another added: 'Get a grip.' A third commented: 'So dramatic.' Meanwhile, someone else rolled their eyes and wrote: 'Molly you are painful…' Not only this, but another penned: 'I personally feel it would have been so much better to wait to have children, she's so successful and mature in one way but very self-centred and immature in others as seen here.'

Say au revoir to hotels with the Renault Master Ahorn Camp campervan
There's a new Renault Master on the market and it's not taken long for the French firm's largest van to get the campervan treatment in the shape of the new Renault Master Ahorn Camp. Produced by motorhome specialist Erwin Hymer Group, the Ahorn Camp is offered in Europe through the Renault Pro+ dealership network.

A six-speed manual is used for the less-powerful version or there's a nine-speed automatic for the more potent one.

New campervan and motorhome ban kicks in TODAY in tourist hotspot crackdown – rule-breakers risk having vehicle towed
A NEW campervan and motorhome ban has kicked in today in a tourist hotspot crackdown and rule-breakers risk having their vehicle towed away. It comes after months of complaints from residents about l arger vehicles dominating the area. 1 The details of the ban. Motorhomes and campervans owners have been warned of a new parking ban which prevents larger vehicles from accessing popular seafront roads in East Suffolk. The council has introduced an experimental Traffic Regulation Order for Undercliff Road East in a bid to create car-only parking bays along both sides of the road. This will effectively exclude campervans and motorhomes from the stretch. Council members said that larger vehicles were "damaging the footways and limiting opportunities for residents and visitors to access the beachfront easily." The experimental order will be assessed throughout the summer period to determine its effectiveness and may be adjusted before it becomes permanent. The new arrangements The council have stated that the new arrangements include dedicated parking bays for disabled badge holders with a three-hour time limit "to ensure they can be used by all those who need them." Designated motorcycle parking bays will also be introduced and double yellow lines will be painted on junctions to improve safety and visibility. The cars-only parking spaces will have no time limit, enabling longer stays for visitors to the seaside area. To help drivers get used to the changes, parking on a section of Undercliff Road East has been temporarily restricted between June 30 and July 18, with the council warning that vehicles parked during this period may be towed away reports GB News. Alternative parking for larger vehicles will be available at Manor Terrace, Garrison Lane and Golf Road. I travelled Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way in vantastic motorhome Where overnight parking will be permitted for a maximum of three days with no return within seven days. Signage and larger bays will be introduced at these alternative locations to accommodate campervans and motorhomes. The improvement works resulted from a collaboration between Suffolk Highways, East Suffolk Council and Felixstowe Town Council to address safety concerns. The reason behind the ban Felixstowe's popularity among the camping community had grown significantly due to amenities such as free tap water and public toilets. However, residents have been urging the council to introduce parking restrictions, with some complaining that campervans were parked on the road for months at a time. The council explained that larger vehicles, parking partially on pavements, was also causing obstruction issues, especially for wheelchair users and those with pushchairs. Councillor Seamus Bennett explained that overnight camping and parking of motorhomes has become excessive in the area. He said: "Dozens of very large vehicles park for days or weeks and effectively turn this stretch of seafront road into a free campsite, which it was never meant or equipped to be." Councillor Tim Wilson added: "Undercliff Road East is unsuitable for the high volume of large vehicles which visit during the summer months, and these layout changes will encourage these vehicles, including campervans and motorhomes, to find alternative parking." Councillor Paul West, Suffolk County Council Cabinet member for Operational Highways and Flooding said: "The campervans have been offered an alternative parking solution." He explained that the experimental order aims to find "a lasting solution for the residents of the town". Campervan owners had previously highlighted their contribution to the local economy through the use of shops and pubs. And some suggested a 24-hour time limit might better balance competing needs.

Winnebago Cuts Revenue, Profit Outlook After Declines
Winnebago WGO -0.03%decrease; red down pointing triangle Industries lowered its guidance for the fiscal year on the back of softer demand after logging lower revenue and profit in its third quarter. The motorhome manufacturer said that it has had to cut its expectations for the year largely due to challenges from the macroeconomic backdrop. It now expects revenue to be in the range of $2.7 billion to $2.8 billion, down from a previous guidance of between $2.8 billion and $3 billion. Analysts expect $2.76 billion.
