Conscious we’re getting older and unwiser, its time to commit to 2026 plans! Trips we fancy this year:- Thats the trips, but after the last year or so we need to focus a bit more on heath and trying to get Mel back to some level of stability. So lots…
Another year gone…. And have had a couple of people email us for proof of life as no updates here. Well, both here still, and fact is when we started DYD as our diary, internet and blogging was vv new and we had huge interest and following. Now, meh, everyone…
Oops. Yes, we’ve been emailed and asked if we’re still going as not updated this site in a couple of years and its now 2025! Sorry! But the core reason is when we started this site back in 2008 when the internet was still black & white not many people…
I’m so fed up of seeing people give out duff advice on forums and facebook, and even in person, that I thought I’d explain what the speed limits are for campervans! Yes, its an easy question – but the answer isn’t as clear as you think Viewers of the video…

Having not gone the maxx-air route for a couple of reasons, and the van being hot, I’ve made my own vent fan. This is to either blow hot air out of the van, or blow cool air into the van (over the bed) if needed. On high-ish power, it blows…
2021 photos can be seen here Well lets hope 2021 is better than 2020 for all the obvious reasons! But for equally obvious reasons, 2021 won’t be a great year for travel and adventures so we’ll be focusing on testing and perfecting the van and, the main priority, trying to…
