(See the rest of our tip index here) In the past I have tried some devices that enable you to watch TV on a laptop and I had mixed results. Flakey quality, high power consumption, and unreliable software. So I gave up and bought a Meos 13.3″ TV unit which…
After 7 years our first van had its first real component failure, which can’t be bad. The water pump seems to have failed due to a seal going between it and the power steering pump. resulting in coolant leaking very slowly down and over the starter motor. Getting it changed…
Well, its now August, and our Asia trip seems a distant memory. To aid that, we’ve just spent a few days creating a photo montage and got it printed out and delivered today in A0 size. Its massive!! 5,200 pixels wide, and 7,300 pixels high. Any bigger the laptop kept…
Well, as you may have seen, we’ve not updated our blog since we came back from Asia. Amazingly, we came back on 25 March, then after sorting some bits out we went area/house hunting with a HUGE area of the Cotswolds, Wiltshire and Dorset. So the little camper has been used…

Well for those wondering what we’re doing after returning from the fabulous Asia trip, well, back to reality I guess! Its time to buy another house somewhere and get our stuff out of my (very kind!) parents garage. Not sure where, but we like places like Chippenham; Cirencester; Gillingham; Salisbury;…
Blimey. Only takes a few days back from Asia and I’m back into campervan mode! Our van is cleaned, had a bit of DIY maintenance, and we’re off on Friday for a couple of weeks in the UK house hunting. Just noticed Bordatlas (or board atlas!) is now available on…
Mistakes We aren’t perfect, and we made a few mistakes along the way! Here are some: Brought too much! Our 35+8 litre rucksacks were perfect, but we still brought too much. Laundry is cheap and by weight, so you could bring less and wash it more. No need to bring…
